Shia LaBeouf covers the November issue of Interview magazine, and in addition to looking insanely hot while wearing only a towel, he gets realer than real about his recent troubles in the accompanying sit-down. The actor, who was interviewed by film critic Elvis Mitchell, admits that the majority of his headline-making antics – including a dramatic arrest after watching Cabaret on Broadway and a performance art exhibit “apologizing” for plagiarizing the work of Daniel Clowes – were the result of method acting. He also opens up about his favorite Hollywood actors (Ben Affleck, Sean Penn, Mel Gibson, and his Fury costar Brad Pitt) and makes some startling confessions that are pretty sad. Keep reading for even more candid, thought-provoking quotes from Shia’s feature in Interview.
