“Me and him are good because he’s gone through a lot. I’ve gone through a lot,” Shia told the outlet. “We’ve both been able to send each other love and make it right before all the madness happened on both sides. We made it right. He’s a good guy. He’s just like me.”
He added, “Fear will make you move different. I found it came from having absolutely no spiritual life. It made me a piece of s–t. Not a nice guy.”
E! News has reached out to Alec’s rep for comment but has not yet heard back.
For Alec’s part, the Departed actor previously detailed his perspective on working with him around the time of the play.
“There was friction between us from the beginning. LaBeouf seems to carry with him, to put it mildly, a jailhouse mentality wherever he goes,” the 67-year-old told Vulture in 2014. “You could tell right away he loves to argue. And one day he attacked me in front of everyone. He said, ‘You’re slowing me down, and you don’t know your lines. And if you don’t say your lines, I’m just going to keep saying my lines.’”
And Alec went on to offer his opinion on why Shia ultimately wound up exiting the play.
“I think he was shocked,” he said. “He had that card, that card you get when you make films that make a lot of money that gives you a certain kind of entitlement. I think he was surprised that it didn’t work in the theater.”
