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.

the only thing douchier than his name is his personality, apparently.

[Billpoch]

Who gives a sh*t!

[billysix]

Oh....he's so brave.

[LooktotheLeft]

Huh?

[chiffonB]

Shia shouldnt be worried about losing the fame and fortune anytime soon.Hes way too far in and too great of an actor for it to stop now.He couldnt lose that if he tried.Whats up with this lame headline btw.It makes him look horrible.He's 23 its way too early for him to be an "alcoholic".Ask any 23 year old how often they drink.Most are in college and still young.Most 23 year olds party and drink.Thats doesnt mean THEYRE alcoholics too.Its what you do when you're young.He's doing movie after movie so im sure he hardly even has much time to drink.

actually, as a member of AA, I have seen many real alcoholics in his age group. They may have a genetic disposition to alcoholism and they may have started drinking while quite young. I have met kids who started their drinking careers at the ages of 7, 9 and 10. He is not too young at all. Just because he is able to pull off his job doesn't speak to his alcoholism. Many addicts are highly functional.
I wish him the best while dealing with his alcoholism. Abstinence (yes, it works regarding addiction, if not teen sex!) and some form of spirituality have been of great help to many of all ages.

LOL great actor. Another one of those overused phrases. I wonder how many awards he's going to pull for running around in front of a green screen filming Transformers 2.

[SteveStephens]

Too Much Information.

[Joye]

What kind of people don't lock their bedroom door? I think this is too much information for us...

[notconfindtweenhatnboots]

sounds like they didn't care if he watched. Lots of children walk in on their parents. No one claims they "watched" their parents doing it.

[DDBabyDiva]

And to top it off all, he's not even a good actor.

[Sparty1]

I just never understood why 'celebrities' feel the need to tell their truly private information. Somethings really should stay private.

[3dtrix]

Crappy actors, crappy actresses, crappy scripts, crappy directors - I blame YOU, the crappy audience...

[DDBabyDiva]

You said it all

I tried to watch Transformers and I couldn't make it past the first 20 minutes. I decided not to torture myself with anything else this disturbed person acts in.

The real actors are all on Broadway now... Not "hot" enough for the big screen.

[rob2007]

This guy should be a silent film star.

[notconfindtweenhatnboots]

Dr. Freud... Paging Dr. Freud. You have an emergency.

[sarahwaters]

i couldn't have said it any better. thanks for the laugh.

[Sonny4gov]

Oedipus anyone?

[Georgiapundit]

Typical 23 year old male..."full of contradictions. He will have his epiphany at 25 or 26...hopefully.

[BunnyMama]

This is T - M - I , people.
No wonder Michael K calls him Shia La Do uche.

this falls under the "way too much information" category. I think a lot of people have that i'm not good enough complex, it's not just for actors so quit crying about it already!
