From bagging groceries this day last week to being the biggest viral star on the internet, it's been an interesting few days for Alex from Target.

If you don't know about Alex Christopher LaBeouf or the whole Alex from Target thing, then you can catch up over here, or you can watch his interview that he gave to Ellen earlier this week about just what the hell has happened to him in the last few days.

After a Twitter user sent out a picture of him packing bags at Target, a huge superstore in the States, he went completely viral, so much so that even Ellen tweeted him, and then his fate was sealed, he was going to get at least 15 minutes of fame.

Not that we're ones to judge, but isn't it creeping anyone else out, even just a tiny bit, that a bunch of adult women are screaming like fangirls for a 16-year-old boy? Just sayin', like...

 

Anyway, he's been having a good few days touring around talk shows and such, and while he's still hot property, he might be in line for a TV gig of his own, as he seems pretty relaxed and natural on camera. Still, we imagine Target are pretty happy with all this free marketing that they're getting.

They may be less happy with the queue of fangirls outside screaming every morning though, they probably had to get poor Alex some bodyguards. The internet is really weird.
