Shia LaBeouf on His Drunken Arrest: "I Was An A**hole"

Etshiala

Shia LaBeouf is owning up to the night he got arrested in a Chicago Walgreens for being drunk and disorderly.

"That was complete and utter insanity," the actor told Empire magazine. "I was an a**hole, and it was a mistake I'm still completely embarrassed about. I was in the middle of a strange mind state, having just come off a three-month window of focus. I can't diminish what happened at all. But I can say this: I'm not the first 21-year-old to be arrested for a misdemeanor. There are lessons in life I need to learn, and I'm learning all of them in front of the public."

Sounds pretty sincere. I think we can all remember a time when we may have had a little too much of the good stuff and acted a tad improper in public. For instance, one of you may have drunkenly barged into a pizza place, late one night in, say, Albany, NY, picked up an empty silver pizza pan and proceeded to place it on one's head and spin it, all while imitating Jim Carrey in The Mask and yelling "Somebody STOP me!"

That may have happened to somebody.
