SHIA LABEOUF IS SO MONEY – IN THE APRIL ISSUE OF GQ

SHIA LABEOUF APRIL GQ 2010

Action-hero wonder boy Shia LaBeouf has put aside childish things—the late-night car wrecks (“I don’t know that I respected myself then”), the weaving around Hollywood nightspots for the pleasure of TMZ—and gotten serious about his career. You might even say a little obsessive. Hence, his intense turn as a stock-possessed trader in Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps. To prepare for the role, he learned everything he needed to know about finance and trading stocks, which has become his new favorite hobby. “I trade in my boxers now. I’m up early for the markets. I’m real-time all day long,” he tells GQ’s Adam Sachs.

Shia LaBeouf on his widely publicized car crash:
“‘I’d be watching the news, and they’d play my car crash, and every once in a while Kim Kardashian’s sister would jump on TV and preach to me from the red carpet about how to live my fucking life. And I’m so upset, man. I’m so angry. Because this accident was not caused by me. I got hit. I had a green. This fucker ran a red light. And he flipped my truck, and he shoveled it on my hand. And my fingers are in the street… They’re off, they’re under the truck door, man. This is fake, dude,’ he says, lifting his newly reconstructed hand. ‘This is hip bone and the skin that was left over.’”
