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.

Waaay to much info, dude.

[chardonnay48]

No kidding. And we need to know this because???

[philtll]

Because someone did an interview about it. Jeezus, it's not like he just threw his own presser to announce this. Why did you even click on it? The juice is in the headline!

[Deadgnome]

This guy is just a tool and a bad actor to boot.

[MsLiz]

He got an Emmy when a teenager. Some people thought he could act.

[JGatsby]

It was a daytime emmy for playing a kid in a disney program. Not exactly hamlet.

[chardonnay48]

An Emmy or an enema?

[starbright]

OMG - can someone get this fool a publicist so he can be shut up? Throw in a therapist while you're at it.

[barackobama4prez]

T---M---I dawg, dang!

[Azmom]

Freak

[viragovenus]

Being a little harsh, aren't you?

[Steamboater]

"Freak"? What crime has he commited? The only freaks are those who can't deal with brutal hinesty.

[SILVANUS]

Well... the ontological gravity of suffering such a compulsion to get paid so well to act in utterly awful films...

Maybe he needs to inject bugpowder or something.­..

[LouisLouis]

It's a little too much information, but maybe it's helpful for him to get it out. I find him quite honest and raw, and mixed in with some of the "too much info" are some interesting deep insights about life. I think being open sure beats being repressed. That can be extremely damaging.

[viragovenus]

Well said.

[vickskat]

Dude, I HEARD my parents have sex when I was 12, and I was mortified. My heart started beating fast, and I threw a pillow over my head.

To sit there and watch, THEN ADMIT IT, is insanely disgusting, but that's just my opinion. All the freaks in the house may think he's normal. Kudos for honesty, but he could have saved that one.

Makes you wonder if he still has fantasies about his moms.

[SteveDenver]

Shia is choosing the biggest blockbuster crap out there.

Used to think he had charm, but he's worn that out.

Five years until he's on a has-been celebrity show... any bets?

[MizLiz]

What a repulsive little creep.

[Just2stressed]

I have a friend who grew up in a poor family and a large one, slept with her parents because of lack of room and as a result, she grew up watching her parents having sex. She was right there on the bed when they were doing it. Result of this:

Sex addict!

[starbright]

That's called childhood sexual abuse, not poverty.

[chloe23]

Shia dude: you're right - you ARE living a meaningless life. Which has nothing to do with seeing your parents in a compromising situation and everything to do with your self-centered, egotistical self.

[SteveDenver]

On the nose!

[SILVANUS]

Shia, Hollywood is the father of all Meaninglessness.
Why do I always confuse you with Chia Pets?

[PoliticalAmazon]

While I admire his insight into his problems, I'm not sure the world needs to hear them.

[BowlingForRevenge]

I just threw up in my mouth ... more than a little.
I once called child protective services on a little friend of my daughters parents because her Barbie and Ken were humping away in every position imaginable, some I never could figure out, when they played dolls and her mom refused to discuss it. Turns out Mommy and Daddy loved to watch porn and "imitate" the on screen performances only they didn't believe in doing it behind locked doors. So night after night this little girl was put to bed only to wake up and discover the swinging scene in the family room. She would sit behind her Daddy's chair and supposedly her parents were none the wiser until the authorities called and after several lengthy interviews 2 and 2 was put together and the discovery was made. The parents had to attend some "parenting" classes and well they had another baby the next year and 2 years after that at 10 the little girl ran away for the first time. We moved out of state not long after that and my understanding is the little girl was last seen when she was15, she would be about 33 now. I will always believe that what she witnessed her parents doing caused her life path to take a terrible terrible turn.

Aliens ate my Buick and I cannot sleep at night.

[SteveDenver]

Dang! And that was a collector's item.
