Shia LaBeouf: The Good Actors are All Screwed Up

Shia LaBeouf: The Good Actors are All Screwed Up
Copyright 2009 / Parade Magazine
'Transformers' actor Shia LaBeouf gave a shocking interview with Parade magazine saying his humor comes from "seeing my parents have sex, smoke weed, my mom being naked ... [and] twisted R-rated humor." The actor also answered questions regarding his breakup with longtime girlfriend China Brezner.

"The good actors are all screwed up. They’re all in pain. It’s a profession of bottom-feeders and heartbroken people," the actor told Parade.

Parade writer Dotson Rader describes Labeouf as "foul-mouthed, resentful, funny, prickly, quick-witted, and charming -- a package of contradictions."

LaBeouf told Rader he's uncertain as to why he broke things off with his longtime girlfriend after three years of dating, "Maybe it was career pressure. ... Maybe I chose work. Every man has those feelings of escape and survival. I know you shouldn’t be that way. I’m trying to understand it and find the answers. I don’t have them now."

He continued, "Why did the love of my life and I break up? ... Man, I have no idea. What was that all about? I have no answers to anything. None. Why am I an alcoholic? I haven’t a damn clue! What is life about? I don’t know."

For more with the 23-year-old actor, check him out in Parade magazine, in newspapers June 14. LaBeouf can also be seen in 'Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen', coming to theaters June 23.

    • yeah, I'm at the library and they don't use AdBlock. The "screwed up" + "Shia" got my attention. :P

      Anywho, that's a pretty baseless thing to say, Mr. LaBeouf. I'm not an actor, but even I know that there's no way they're ALL a bunch of boozing,...
