“I wrote this narrative which was just f—— nonsense.
My dad was so loving to me my whole life.
For sure, but never was not loving, never was not there.
He was always there,” LaBeouf said onJon Bernthal’sReal Onespodcast.
Because I didn’t put that s— in there," he shared.
“I was bulls——- him.
I was just trying to get him to sign this piece of paper.”
It felt like quite mechanical."
“My dad never hit me.
He spanked me once.
One time,” he admitted.
Instead, his father became a way to pin the blame onto someone else.
“Here’s a man who I’ve done vilified on a grand scale,” LaBeouf said.
I come from this wayward upbringing.
My dad is the reason I’m such a f— up.
He’s a biker and a wildman and a criminal and abusive.'"
LaBeouf called it “probably the crowning achievement of any amends I’ve made.”
