Actor Shia LaBeouf is really dedicated to his craft.
LaBeouf told USA Today that he really dropped acid to prepare for a “Necessary Death” scene in which his character trips.
“There’s a way to do an acid trip like ‘Harold & Kumar,’ and there’s a way to be on acid,” the actor explained. “What I know of acting, Sean Penn actually strapped up to that [electric] chair in Dead Man Walking. These are the guys that I look up to.
LaBeouf is no stranger to baring all in the name of art – he famously bared all for Icelandic band Sigur Ros’ eight-and-a-half minute music video, and he recently said he would have real sex for his newest artsy flick ‘Nymphomaniac,’ directed by provocateur Lars Von Trier.
Page Six reported that LaBeouf gave up drinking after a series of incidents including a bar brawl and a car accident — but says he’s such a dedicated method actor, he drank moonshine for his role as a Prohibition-era bootlegger in “Lawless.”
