Psycho Shia 'stalked Alec Baldwin, choked director'
Quote:
LaBeouf, who was in rehearsals with Baldwin for three weeks in early 2013 for the Broadway play Orphans until their tensions led to LaBeouf being replaced by Ben Foster, told Interview that he butted heads with Baldwin during rehearsals because he was so invested in his character.
"My whole goal was to intimidate the f**k out of Baldwin," he said, adding that he wanted Baldwin "to be scared."
This led to LaBeouf actually following Baldwin home for a month after he left the production.
"I was trying to take my mind off the play, but I couldn’t do it," LaBeouf said. "So I would follow him from rehearsal to his home. I needed to have closure."
The 28-year-old actor stars opposite Brad Pitt in the war film Fury and developed a strong bond with that film’s director, David Ayer, which he said he hasn’t felt with previous directors.
Among those directors was Fredrik Bond, who directed him in 2013’s Charlie Countryman. LaBeouf notoriously took LSD during the filming of Countryman, which led to Bond almost abandoning the project.
"He wanted to break for lunch while I was tripping on drugs. I was like, ‘We can’t break for lunch, I’m on f—ing drugs,’ " LaBeouf told Interview.
"Right after that acid trip, I was choking [Bond] — my trainer had to pull me off him." LaBeouf said that he felt the need to do drugs during the shoot because of a "lack of control caused by irrational commitment." (read the full article)
