Shia LaBeouf In Parade Magazine

 

Shia LaBeouf, 23, is covering the latest issue of Parade Magazine to help promote his latest film ‘Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen’, which hits theaters June 23.

Of his interview, Parade writer Dotson Rader describes Labeouf as “foul-mouthed, resentful, funny, prickly, quick-witted, and charming — a package of contradictions.”

LaBeouf tells the mag his humor comes from “seeing my parents have sex, smoke weed, my mom being naked … [and] twisted R-rated humor.”

On handling fame he says:  “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.”

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

On living life:  “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.”

On his breakup with his girlfriend of three years China Brezner he says he’s uncertain as to why he broke things off her: “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 LaBeouf’s issue of Parade magazine comes out June 14.
