Transformers star Shia LaBeouf says he quit booze and went teetotal after getting into trouble with the police. “I’ve been in a lot of trouble. I’ve been arrested a bunch of times, so now I don’t drink any more,” he said.
“I don’t know how to compose myself… I don’t know how to drink like a gentleman. When I drink, I get crazy. I have never had a beer because I like the taste of beer.”
Shia, who stars alongside Hollywood legend Michael Douglas in new movie Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps, recently revealed he’s hoping to land some grittier roles and that his dream part would be troubled teenager Holden Caulfield in Catcher In The Rye.
“I really like all that beatnik culture, I think it would be fun, just for my family, and the way that I was raised,” he said. “I don’t know if I’m interested in the blockbuster whimsical stuff any more — I want to be a little ballsier; balls, blood and death, kind of thing… Not outrageously so, just something a little grittier, with a little more meat to chew on.”
