In Which We Get Out of the Way and Let Shia LaBeouf's Fantastically Perverse Playboy Interview Do the Talking
Shia LaBeouf was the subject of a new Playboy interview (June issue), in which the charismatic Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen star and occasional public nuisance opened up on a number of topics with an alarming amount of candor.
Some highlights:
On going through puberty on the set of Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle:
“Holy f*cking Christ! Really disgusting if I get into elaborate details. I remember my trailer was set up in such a way that Cameron Diaz’s and Lucy Liu’s trailers were visible through my window, through this little shade I had. I’d put down the blackout shade just enough to have my eye peeping through and get them in my crosses. I’d be inside totally going at it. Just the thought of them changing in their trailers was enough to get me off.”
On seeing his Mom naked:
“The nudity was weird, especially when her friends came over. All of them would just be naked around the house. That was strange for me, and it was really bizarre when my friends were there. You’ve got your little buds over, and Mom’s, like, playing naked connect the dots or whatever. She’s in the middle of goddess-group time, where it’s literally a bunch of naked women tracing auras around one another’s bodies with incense and then sitting together and humming for prolonged periods of time.”
On who he finds sexy:
“Probably the sexiest woman I know is my mother. She’s an ethereal angel. Nobody looks like that woman. If I could meet my mother and marry her, I would. I would be with my mother now, if she weren’t my mother, as sick as that sounds.”
Excuse us now while we bleach our brains.

Someone's been spending a little too much time with Michael Bay.

I liked this story much better when I replaced Shia and his mom, with Miley Cyrus and her dad Billy Ray.

That man has been nothing short of a fount of cringe-inducing talky bits. Whether it's him oversharing or trying way too hard for a joke, you can never go wrong with La Beef.

This guy is just a freak. I have no idea how he got big. He plays the nerd well, but not much else. I am just not down with this guy at all. I do respect the candor, even if I have a hard time believing everything he says. How's his publicist doing?

Shia just put the "swine" in "swine flu".

This just put a screeching halt to my own little Shia fantasy sessions. Mr. LaBeouf, you disgust me.

So Shia beats off to Cameron Diaz... and his mom?? Truly, to Mr. LaBeouf, there is more than meets the eye.

Gross.
It says something about a person that they would not only think these things, but believe them fit for public consumption.
I admit to having had a problem with the guy ever since he pathetically blamed the fans for the fact that everybody hated Indy 4, but this takes it to another level.

Wow.
At least we learned more about LaBeouf than we did with the recent interview in EW. That one was focused all on his hand injury.
Then again ...
