LaBeouf said he slept in the park for the majority of the time he was in rehearsal for the production.<\/p>\n
During this time, Baldwin was cast to replace legendary actor Al Pacino, who backed out of the production. And this took a hit on LaBeouf, he told the outlet. <\/p>\n

Shia LaBeouf claimed he slept in New York City\u2019s Central Park amid his feud with \u2018Orphans\u2019 co-star Alec Baldwin in 2013 (Getty)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\u201cBy the time Baldwin got there, it was almost unfair,\u201d he said. \u201cSo he\u2019s dealing with both my fractured little weak ego, right? All this hard prep that I\u2019d done for two years, and my desperate need to show him all my prep, or that he would accept me somehow. I was so insecure.\u201d <\/p>\n
The Holes <\/em>lead went on to say this circumstance took a toll on their relationship, leading to lots of contention and unwanted competition. <\/p>\n\u201cThat\u2019s just what our relationship turned into,\u201d LaBeouf continued. \u201cI\u2019d be off book, he\u2019d be on book, and he didn\u2019t want me to look at him be off book. <\/p>\n
\u201cThat makes it hard to play these scenes out or block this thing even. And no fault against him, he had two weeks to come in because Pacino [dropped out]. I had built the whole thing based on my relationship with Pacino. And that\u2019s gone. So I was kind of heartbroken.\u201d <\/p>\n
All the tension led to LaBeouf\u2019s firing from the production in 2013. At the time, LaBeouf told Interview <\/em>magazine he was devastated. He also confessed to following Baldwin home from rehearsals after he was no longer in the production. <\/p>\n\u201cI was following him home. I was completely broken, and still in [character]. I didn\u2019t know what to do. I started boxing,\u201d he told Interview <\/em>in 2014. \u201cI was trying to take my mind off the play, but I couldn\u2019t do it. So I would follow him from rehearsal to his home. I needed to have closure.\u201d<\/p>\nHowever, the actor has now said there\u2019s no more bad blood between him and Baldwin, who faced involuntary manslaughter charges not too long ago for a gun incident on a different set that led to one woman\u2019s death. <\/p>\n
\u201cMe and him are good because he\u2019s gone through a lot. I\u2019ve gone through a lot. We\u2019ve both been able to send each other love and make it right before all the madness happened on both sides,\u201d LaBeouf said of Baldwin. \u201cWe made it right. He\u2019s a good guy. He\u2019s just like me. Fear will make you move different. I found it came from having absolutely no spiritual life.\u201d <\/p>\n
Last year, Baldwin was on trial in connection to the fatal death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and faced the possibility of 18 months behind bars. <\/p>\n
Baldwin was charged with involuntary manslaughter after he was handling a prop gun that went off during a rehearsal of a film\u2019s shooting scene in 2021, striking and killing Hutchins and injuring director Joel Souza.<\/p>\n
The trial lasted only a week before Baldwin\u2019s case was thrown out. <\/p>\n
The actor broke down in tears and hugged his attorneys and his wife Hilaria after Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer announced her decision in the New Mexico courtroom.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
