Sydney: Shia LaBeouf has said that he has a "dark side", and confessed of being “a ruffian”.
The ‘Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps’ star, who is dating actress Carey Mulligan, has said that he could never be as squeaky-clean as other Hollywood stars.
"I`ve never been like Zac Efron. I am a bit of an a*shole. I have a dark side. I`m a bit of a ruffian. I`ve never tried to be anything else. I was never educated properly because I got kicked out of every school,” a news daily quoted him as saying.
The actor also confessed that he only entered Hollywood because the large pay would help ease his family`s financial problems.
"Initially, it was all money driven. I didn`t give a s**t about arts. We were as broke as balls, so I just wanted to move my family into better digs," he added.
The 23-year-old star also revealed he has banned himself from celebrity parties for the sake of his career as he doesn`t trust himself around alcohol.
"I am not good at going to parties and doing the schmoozy thing. I drink to get drunk, so I don`t go to social things for a couple of drinks because two and two makes 12... The way I deal with being at those functions is to get wasted. And that jeopardises what I love and what keeps my family fed, and builds my self-worth. I`d risk too much,” he told a magazine.
