Shia LaBeouf has a “dark side”.
The ‘Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps’ actor, who is dating actress Carey Mulligan, could never be as squeaky-clean as other Hollywood stars because he has always been “a ruffian”.
He explained, “I’ve never been like Zac Efron. I am a bit of an a*shole. I have a dark side. I’m a bit of a ruffian. I’ve never tried to be anything else. I was never educated properly because I got kicked out of every school.”
Shia has also admitted the only reason he wanted to be a Hollywood star was because the large pay would help ease his family’s financial problems.
He added, “Initially, it was all money driven. I didn’t give a s**t about arts. We were as broke as balls, so I just wanted to move my family into better digs.”
The 23-year-old star also revealed he has banned himself from celebrity parties for the sake of his career as he doesn’t trust himself around alcohol.
He told Britain’s Glamour magazine, “I am not good at going to parties and doing the schmoozy thing. I drink to get drunk, so I don’t go to social things for a couple of drinks because two and two makes 12… The way I deal with being at those functions is to get wasted. And that jeopardizes what I love and what keeps my family fed, and builds my self-worth. I’d risk too much.”
