Transient NYC Central Park Residency of Shia LaBeouf - Transient Residence of Shia LaBeouf in Central Park, New York.
Step into the whirlwind world of actor Shia LaBeouf, known for his turbulent undertakings and unconventional moves. The star recently revealed in an interview with "The Hollywood Reporter" that he once called Central Park, New York, his temporary home.
"It's ahang with horses and there's loads of room to just chill out," the 38-year-old actor shared. This was during his preparations for the Broadway play "Orphans" back in 2013. In his words, he had to relocate every few hours and was checked on, but freedom reigned otherwise. His stay there coincided with his steroid use and health woes.
Shia LaBeouf vs. Alec Baldwin: Broadway Battle Royale
If you remember, Shia LaBeouf was initially scheduled to star in "Orphans" alongside Al Pacino. However, Pacino dropped out of the play, and Alec Baldwin stepped in. Unfortunately, the two actors' collaboration didn't blossom. LaBeouf admitted he had built his anticipation around Pacino and was utterly devastated when Pacino walked away.
His insecurities heightened under the shadow of his new co-star, creating a cutthroat competition that eventually led to his exit from the play. Ben Foster subsequently took over his role, and "Orphans" was recognized with two Tony nominations.
LaBeouf and the producers settled the matter out of court. Today, the two have reconciled, according to Shia. "We've been through the ringer together, so it's all good between us," he stated.
LaBeouf opens up about his Catholic faith in the same interview, sharing that it played a significant role in helping him recover. He took the plunge and embraced Catholicism a few years back, temporarily residing in a monastery.
Fun Fact: While his time in Central Park might be linked to his personal struggles, it does not seem to be directly correlated with his Broadway play "Orphans."
