When Shia LaBeouf is not antagonizing Alec Baldwin or groping Alan Cumming, he actually does make some movies.

In an interview with Interview magazine promoting his WWII picture, Fury, the 28-year-old actor blows a lot of smoke about his troubled upbringing, his acting method and the existential roots behind his public outbursts.

I've been going through an existential crisis. If you look at my behavior, it's been motivated by a certain discourse. Metamodernism has influenced a lot of my action in the public in this last year and a half—the idea of diametrically opposed ideas happening all at once: the irony and the sincerity, birth and death, the immediacy and the obsolescence.

Is he tripping on acid again?

LeBeouf also claims working in top Hollywood movies like the Transformers franchise is akin to slavery.

Really I'm gaining control over myself again. I've given up so much control over myself to this industry. I felt like a slave who wasn't allowed to read. That's extreme, but it really is that debilitating when you have no say over it anymore.

But his self-aggrandizing is fairly easy to take, since he also reveals a taut and toned body in the accompanying photo spread shot by Craig McDean.
