Shia LaBeouf: I Watched My Parents Have Sex, Am An Alcoholic

Shia LaBeouf, 23, is on the cover of the upcoming issue of Parade magazine. Inside Dotson Rader describes the Transformers actor as "foul-mouthed, resentful, funny, prickly, quick-witted, and charming -- a package of contradictions."

LaBeouf says the source of his humor is from "seeing my parents have sex, smoke weed, my mom being naked ... [and] twisted R-rated humor."

"The good actors are all screwed up. They're all in pain. It's a profession of bottom-feeders and heartbroken people," LaBeouf also says, describing what caused his split with China Brezner, whom he dated for three years.

"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. 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."

Shia said of hiving his life, "Sometimes I feel I'm living a meaningless life and I get frightened. I know I'm one of the luckiest dudes in America right now. I have a great house. My parents don't have to work. I've got money. I'm famous. But it could all change, man. It could go away. You never know."

Of his skyrocketing career he said, "I don't handle fame well. Most actors on most days don't think they're worthy. I have no idea where this insecurity comes from, but it's a God-sized hole. If I knew, I'd fill it, and I'd be on my way."

LaBeouf is often an outspoken in interviewee, telling Playboy that his mother is the sexiest woman he knows.

Of course he's an alcoholic. He's 23! That's when you're going to do your most drinking.
Silly boy. If you're still drinking like that when you're 33, then you've got a problem.

[EdHurley]

This kid is serious screwed up. Damaged beyond repair. In the future, look for him to end like David Carradine.

[AfroGoddess]

And you came up with that brillant deduction based on this article and a handfull of taboid blurbs?!

LOL It cracks me up how people give such a damn in the wrong direction! LOL

[vortac2101]

Do you mean 'end up like David Carradine' as in having a long career full of success and acclaim and out-living most of his peers?

[MidnightRambler]

My career is falling apart I need to get in the headlines, hmmmm.........

[AfroGoddess]

He's got a "sure thing" blockbuster coming out and his career is falling apart?! If this is what you consider to be failure, then you must be Oprah.

[PatA]

TMI!

[jsgaetano]

Big time.

Shia LaBeouf, 23, is the molecular basis of psychiatric disease.

[StephenJK]

At least he is forthcoming about it and not trying to hide it where one day he just implodes.

[Chitownfool]

What a loser

[Crass Innuendo]

Thus sayeth Anonymous Person On The Internet. World without end.

Amen.

The question is WHEN did he watch his parent having sex. Was it recently? Was it with their consent?

[cungar]

AND he says his mother is the sexiest woman he knows.

[thefooligan5]

apparently his parents were nudists and hippies so undoubtedly they may have been sexual in front of him and him having grown up around that probably didn't realize it was unusual until he started to bring friends over or some such. And even then he was probably pretty desensitized to it, or least convinced himself to be which would account for some deepseated problems regarding his parents.

Happy Birthday, Shia.

I hope you find answers to all your questions, soon.

Now if Dad had walked in on Shia having s*ex with his wife (and Shia's Mom)....or even the other way around, i.e., wife walking in on Shia and Dad, et al., then I'd say we got a story. Otherwise, same old s*hit, different day

[MedinaM]

This is way too much info.

[LooktotheLeft]

I'm sure his parents were proud to see their son on the cover of Parade....until they began to read the story inside

[LooktotheLeft]

So did he become an alcoholic BECAUSE he saw his parents having s*ex or in spite of his parents having s*ex? Watching one's parents having s*ex will drive you to drink everytime....depending, of course, on what one's parents look like

"The good actors are all screwed up. They're all in pain. It's a profession of bottom-feeders and heartbroken people."

Speak for yourself, Shia, lest you summon the ghost of Paul Newman to teach you a few lessons about self-involvement and narcissism.

[DKLabRat]

Well said. And if being a movie star is such a pain - go back to obscurity and work in a factory. I'm sure we could all quickly forget your name if you did.

[JGatsby]

And since when did staring in a movie based on toy cars that turn into robots qualify as good acting?

[roblabrousse]

Some stuff ought to remain in the session room. Personal struggles are great to share if it's in the aid of helping others. DON'T MAKE YOUR PRIVATE LIFE AN AD CAMPAIGN.

[2farnorth]

Unless of course you are not ashamed of who you are...

[AfroGoddess]

Thank you! And you aren't trying to fake the mugga-freakin' funk. Hey, they all aren't well adjusted. If they were tabloids would be out of business.

[swaggajonez]

weird!
