Shia LeBeouf's recent troubles down to method acting

He also blamed this  for causing him smacking actor Alan Cumming's backside at a performance of 'Cabaret'.

Speaking to Interview Magazine, Shia explained: "Alec and I butted heads hard. I was sleeping in the park . . . At the time, I was out of my mind.

"My whole goal was to intimidate the f*** out of Baldwin. That was the role. And it wasn't going to be fake. I wanted him to be scared . . . So I went about doing that for three weeks of rehearsal."

Shia - who starred in 'Lawless' and the 'Transformers' franchise - was arrested in June after drunkenly slapping Cumming and later spitting at a police officer.

He reflected: "I was reading about performance art of the '60s and '70s and so I thought . . . we're all involved here. It's not just your stage. We're all in here and we're all part of this. I was wrong."
