celeb news Shia LaBeouf reveals he used to live in Central Park, slept where horses were kept

The 38-year-old actor revealed in a new interview that at one point in his life, while he was working on a Broadway play, he was "sleeping in Central Park."

 

Shia spoke with The Hollywood Reporter alongside his Henry Johnson director David Mamet, and reflected on a point in his life when he was "not in a good way" while working on the play Orphans, which he eventually dropped out of.

 

Shia also recalled the tensions between himself and Alec Baldwin on Orphans ahead of him dropping out of the project, but said that they eventually "made it right."

 

"By the time Baldwin got there, it was almost unfair. So he's dealing with both my fractured little weak ego, right? All this hard prep that I'd done for two years, and my desperate need to show him all my prep, or that he would accept me somehow. I was so insecure. Well, that got contentious in the room. Then he got competitive. That's just what our relationship turned into," he explained.

 

"I'd be off book, he'd be on book, and he didn't want me to look at him be off book. That makes it hard to play these scenes out or block this thing even. And no fault against him, he had two weeks to come in because Pacino [dropped out]. I had built the whole thing based on my relationship with Pacino. And that's gone. So I was kind of heartbroken. When he came in, I'm living in the park and I'm on steroids and I'm not in a good way," he went on to say.

 

"Yeah. I was sleeping in Central Park. They keep horses there at this little fire basin. And there's a whole lot of room around there where you can just chill. You got to move every three or four hours and the guy comes around, but you can spend most of your time there," Shia continued.

Theater kids are so annoying. Especially at his and Baldwin's big age

I'd snuggle with him in the stables 

[LittleStarmen]

Hmm... He was already pretty famous when this happens so my guess it was for the character

Quote

An item in the paper's showbiz diary suggests that LaBeouf pulled one of his own teeth out, and failed to wash himself during the entire shoot, the better to replicate conditions of life on the frontline in the second world war.

There's an entitlement to going around smelling terrible on purpose that is really sinister. He's nasty and has always been. He probably will always be.

Good

sleeping with his fellow animal species how cute

[Bad_vocal_technique]

That whole interview i just read felt like an oversharing coke rant. 

[Biggie]

Show him my prep? 

[Genie in a Bottle]

He's a has-been coke-bloated wife beater… but he really did slay with the movie Holes. I wonder what his hole is like… probably super dirty and encrusted

Well your username would suggest u are already in a barn so just a little ways away from the stable

On one hand stuff like this is inspiring for people who feel like they could never make it. On the other hand I feel like this kind of self-destructive starving artist lifestyle is glamorized too much. You shouldn't be reduced to being homeless to prove that you're serious.

[popmusicisdead]

oh is he packing something that belongs in a stable ?

 

[Clonger]

Sad. He was so hot in 2007 - 2009 

[Breathe On Moi]

him smelling like horse dung and sleeping in Central Park is very on brand tho 

[katara]

Hm I am reminded that I should watch that movie where he plays a sex addict

It's not true though.  Shia was already wealthy and famous at this time, he just did this because he is an addict trainwreck and thinks he can't make good art without being in personal misery.

 

It really speaks to an artist's lack of talent if they need to suffer immensely to perform well on a set.

He's so hot
