Shia Explains That Night

Filed under: Shia LaBeouf

Good boy Shia LaBeouf was arrested late last year for being a bad boy at a Walgreens in Chicago.

Now, the Transformers star is opening up for the first time about that crazy evening that lead to his brief stay behind bars.

"That was complete and utter insanity," Shia confesses to Empire magazine. "I was an asshole, and it was a mistake I'm still completely embarrassed about. I was in the middle of a strange mind state, having just come off a three-month window of focus. I can't diminish what happened at all. But I can say this: I'm not the first 21-year-old to be arrested for a misdemeanour. There are lessons in life I need to learn, and I'm learning all of them in front of the public."

Sounds very mature for a 21-year-old!

      Perez encouraged a handsome young blogger to send sex tapes of himself while he was making promises of promotion for the blogger's own fledgling Web site.
      WHAT A PERV!!!

      There is another life lesson the 21 year old needs to learn… it involves him bending over, naked, with his butt-cheeks open, and my 9" beercan thick cock penetrating him. I think he would learn a lot.

    19. amira says – reply to this

      love him and his 21-year-old flaws!

      Oh shut up with the "first" thing, its so annoying.
      Who gives a shite, what do you get out of being first.
      It's not even a valid comment.

      And anyway, Shia is amazing, he's a great great guy for being
      upfront about all that.

      I knew that Shia was going to be in movies sooner or later because he is an awesome actor. At least he's honest and I applaud him for taking responsibility for his actions and admitting he was wrong. I look for him to be in a lot of movies in the future, besides the Indiana Jones movie.

    27. RAMMY says – reply to this


      27

      at least he was open to talking about it

    32. pucky hatr says – reply to this


      32

      Wise statement. Stupid act. More like a juvenile stint that someone would pool on a Friday night when they have nothing to do. Shouldn't he have been out doing the celebrity thing hanging with his celebrity friends? Loner?
      Still–he is not a douche…he is very easy on the eyes. OR what I'm trying to say SEXXXY

    33. JDMoore says – reply to this


      33

      Well said, Shia! So proud of this kid! Honest & upfront, and real at the same time. Not afraid to admit mistakes. Not making some weird-ass excuse like MOST people these days (when they like to fall back on, "Well, I had this cold & I, uh, took some cold medicine, and Kablammo, I was whacked out & stealing shit & hitting people with my car!" . . . or whatever stupid, random excuse/lie they can think of at the time).

      Isn't it a shame that there is no way to weed out morons that type stuff like "first" (what idiot started that useless "game" anyway?) . . . goes to show that they are so uneducated because they spend their time trolling blogs to try to be the first to post the stupid word "first." (laughing my ass off at your utter ignorance . . . and continuing to realize why the world's future is in jeopardy if people don't pick the whole "learning" thing back up . . . )

      34

      So maybe next time you wont go on and on about how perfect you are and how you would never get into any of the shit celebs get into, that was a pretty stupid comment to make and it totally backfired on him within weeks of him saying that !!

    35. karrah_montz says – reply to this


      35

      AT FIRST I THOUGHT HE WAS A SPECIAL CHILD HAHA (sorry) BECAUSE HE HAS THIS FREAKISH STYLE, I DUNNO.

      Awww. He's actually respectful and honest about the situation. Not trying to cover up or give excuse like many other celebrities older than him would do. Good for him!

    47. mmm says – reply to this


      47

      He's not hot but definitely doable

    48. Super Bored says – reply to this

      Does anyone really care about this guy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    49. Lora says – reply to this


      49

      He's very upfront and honest. At least he's owning up to his mistake, unlike most people in the public eye. He's young, and young people do stupid things. It happens. He just happens to be more recognizable than most of us, so when he messes up we all get to see and hear about it. He's handling it very well.

    50. : - ) says – reply to this


      50

      That guy is getting better and better looking. He is one of those guys that grow into his looks. In another 3 to 5 years he will be super hot.

    51. fran says – reply to this


      51

      But its totally okay for you to criticize other celebs who get arrested, right Shia?

    52. Sunnie says – reply to this


      52

      I grew up with Shia (if you haven't seen an episode of Even Stevens, you need to!) and this makes me like him even more. He's a quality actor and comedian in a sea of no-talent.

    53. meghan says – reply to this


      53

      hes so fuckin hot

    54. Heather says – reply to this


      54

      At least he knows that what he did WAS a mistake…unlike some of the celebRETARDS out there who just do really absurd shit and think its normal…He seems quite mature and responsible for only being 21 years old. If he can keep himself clean, I'm sure he'll go further than what he has. And I do have to admit that he is way hot…I'm waiting for HIS sex tape…..mmmmmmmm!!!

    55. sandy says – reply to this

      don't become famous then, asshole !

    58. sarah wall says – reply to this


      58

      A "mature" 21 year old would have never been arrested…

      but regardless, I like him…and he's not mature, but he acts it,…he's just a normal kid…

      Idiot I am sure he can learn "life lessons" without misdemeanors! Not hot.

    62. highlander says – reply to this


      62

      Mature??? What does he even say in this statement that's understandable? "I was in a strange mind state"??? "Having come off a three-month window of focus"???? How does that even come close to explaining his behavior?
      Perez, you're such an attention whore that you're willing to accept the same superficial crapola spewed out by the celebrity PR reps.

    63. lindalou says – reply to this

      Good for him. I'm a fan of someone who takes responsibility for his actions!

      "I was in the middle of a strange mind state, having just come off a three-month window of focus." - translation: "I was in the middle of my 7th or 8th line of coke mixing with ectasy and possibly some crack and since I hadn't shot up in a while being that I was informally in rehab, I let lose and became a total asshole."

    67. I didn't understand any of that says – reply to this

      75

      He took the responsibility. It's great.

      "what is a 3 month window of focus?"
      It means he worked his ass off for 3 months and finally he got a break, he went to party celebrating and couldn't handle his booze. Does it sound like he is a rookie? Kind of…

      I remember reading an interview with him where he distinctly said that he was never going to be another hollywood asshole. I really like Shia and i repect him admitting it as a mistake, but he sort of cancels that with the whole "i'm not the first" statement, as if he's trying to justify it with his youth. That just takes away from owning up to it.

      I live right by that Walgreens in Chicago and I saw his arrest! I wish I would've known it was him at the time…..that Walgreens has seem some crazy shit! Me and my crew have created some scenes there before many a time! It's just normal there…..he must have been WAY out of control to get arrested!

      If he was such a bad boy, then he should let me come over and spank him. ;-)

      "I was in the middle of a strange mind state, having just come off a three-month window of focus" It sounds like goboldy gook to me. What the hell is a window of focus? Anyway he is uber hot.

      im marrying this boy…just letting you all know

    96. Kit Cat says – reply to this


      96

      Firstly, he is totally adoreable. Since Transformers he seems to have grown into his looks, he looks more like a man now, in Transformers he was still a boy. Perez you could have found a more up-topdate picture.

      As for the arrest, I'll forgive him this time, at least he admitted he was wrong, but I am none to happy about the "I'm not the first 21-year-old to be arrested for a misdemeanour" comment, it's like a little boy saying "but (enter name here) did it first".
      We all make mistakes but having said that no-one i know has ever been arrested at a Chemist, I guess they are just not that hard-core.

      Strike one Mr Labeouf! Three strikes and your out.

      Re: robin – umm, no he isn't balding. You have a lot of mixed race people that have hair like his. It's the texture of his hair. His father is half black his mom is jewish!
