Shia LaBeouf GQ Magazine April 2010

Shia LaBeouf is the cover boy for the 2010 issue of GQ Magazine.

In his interview with the mag Shia opens up about some ‘wild nights’ he spent with some of Wall Street’s bad boys while researching his role in Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps, his fake hand, and his romance with co-star and Oscar nominated actress Carey Mulligan.

On Wall Street Execs: “I thought my life was pretty wild. I’m Richie Rich. I land in New York, secretly thinking I’m like the coolest guy in the world. I’ve been on the cover of GQ! But then I met these guys, and it’s humbling. It’s the most sex-drugs-and-rock-’n’-roll atmosphere that exists on the planet. I was hanging out with some wild human beings….It’s easy to villainize these guys with the big paychecks…They’re not all bad. I’m a pretty left-wing character, and I come from whatever collar is lower than blue. But meeting these guys really opened my mind a lot. I’ve never seen people with more drive and determination in my life.””

On his relationship with co-star Girlfriend Carey Mulligan: “I never really had anything in my life that was off-limits, but with this, just out of respect, I just don’t want to fuck around. She’s an unbelievably thought-provoking actress, the most talented actress I’ve ever met in my life, by leaps and bounds. Neither one of us are fame whores. It works out. It’s not like we’re the premiere couple; we’re not the red-carpet king and queen.”

On his 2008 car crash and what he thinks of Khloe Kardashian: “I’d be watching the news, and they’d play my car crash, and every once in a while Kim Kardashian’s sister would jump on TV and preach to me from the red carpet about how to live my fucking life. And I’m so upset, man. I’m so angry. Because this accident was not caused by me. I got hit. I had a green. This fucker ran a red light. And he flipped my truck, and he shoveled it on my hand. And my fingers are in the street… they’re off, they’re under the truck door, man. This is fake, dude,” he says, lifting his newly reconstructed hand. “This is hip bone and the skin that was left over…”

On working with Director Oliver Stone: “He is a doctor of human manipulation. One of the first things you do with Oliver is you start talking about your personal life. You give it all to him at the beginning, and then he has these strings with which he can fuck with you. He regurgitates this stuff at inopportune moments. He will just come up and whisper a phrase in your ear, sing a song, mention something about your dad, and—pow!—it puts you in a different world.”
