Shia LaBeouf blames his erratic behaviour on method acting.
The 28-year-old star claims he was simply preparing for his role when he clashed with Alec Baldwin, 56, on the set of Broadway production 'Orphans', insisting this was also the case when he smacked actor Alan Cumming's backside at a performance of 'Cabaret'.
Speaking to Interview Magazine, Shia explained: "Alec and I butted heads hard. I was sleeping in the park . . . At the time, I was out of my mind.
"My whole goal was to intimidate the f*** out of Baldwin. That was the role. And it wasn't going to be fake. I wanted him to be scared . . . So I went about doing that for three weeks of rehearsal."
Shia - who starred in 'Lawless' and the 'Transformers' franchise - was arrested in June after drunkenly slapping Cumming and later spitting at a police officer.
He reflected: "I was reading about performance art of the '60s and '70s and so I thought . . . we're all involved here. It's not just your stage. We're all in here and we're all part of this. I was wrong."

Madonna has agreed to appear on the final of 'The X Factor' - providing certain conditions are met.
The 56-year-old singer has been urged by the show's creator Simon Cowell to appear on the last show in the current series in a bid to boost flagging ratings, but a source close to the star insists she will only do so if she has a significant degree of creative control over her own performance.
The source told the Mail on Sunday newspaper: "Madonna will have been provisionally booked because the final can be subject to change if an artist doesn't approve of the finalists - especially if they have agreed to sing with them.
"Someone like Madonna will want a lot of creative control over her appearance, but for Simon the ratings will be worth it."
What's more, the source revealed that there are certain conditions the 'Like a Virgin' singer must adhere to if she is to appear the show, too.
The insider explained: "She has been told that her label will be expected to pay for any stage props and backing dancers she brings with her."
The proposed appearance could help boost sales of Madonna's next album, which is due to go on sale shortly after the live final.
Meanwhile, another source said: "It had been rumoured that Irish rockers U2 were being lined up to take part. But that has not happened and the confusion may have come because they share the same manager, Guy Oseary."

David McIntosh wants to marry Kelly Brook in Las Vegas before Christmas.
The on-off pair only reconciled their differences in the last few days, but David - a former Royal Marines commando and a star on the TV show 'Gladiators' - is already planning their wedding, which he hopes will take place before the end of the year.
A source close to David told Mirror Online: "After many long distance conversations Kelly agreed to listen to Dave's side of the story and she now feels she may have overreacted.
"The underlying fact is that they are still desperately in love with one another. During their time apart, they realised what they had and the future that they want."
The source continued: "David wants to just elope, do it quickly so that Kelly can continue with her increasing work commitments in America. She is madly in love with him still.
"They have gone off to Mexico so they can have some time alone, away from any gossip, just the two of them alone. It's only a couple of hours drive from Los Angeles so seemed to be the perfect getaway."
David and Kelly, 34, ended their relationship in September, six months after announcing they were engaged to be married.

Jessie Ware was worried about "embarrassing" herself in front of Ed Sheeran.
The 'Say You Love Me' singer worked with the 'A Team' hitmaker for a track on her new album 'Tough Love' and felt she had to push herself harder to match his talent.
She said: "I took more risks [on this album] and it was scary.
"Working with Ed Sheeran on the track 'Say You Love Me' really pushed me vocally as he can do loads of things with his voice. I'd be thinking, 'I'd better sing this well and not embarrass myself.' "
Despite only finding fame in the last few years, Jessie, 30, is grateful she didn't experience success until later.
The former backing singer told Stylist magazine: "I'm really happy all this is happening now as when I was younger, the decisions I made maybe wouldn't have been as good.
"I don't know, I guess you just grow up. It's not to say that someone who is 21 can't make good decisions, it's just that I feel a lot better doing it all now I'm a bit older."

Nicole Scherzinger admits her long-distance relationship is a "challenge".
The 36-year-old singer admits it can be tough on her and Formula One ace Lewis Hamilton to spend a long of time together, but she increasingly feels now that her home is in the UK.
She said: "Our biggest challenge is long distance, but I feel like I'm mostly here in the UK., even though my home is in the US."
The brunette beauty also admitted she is keen to have children with Lewis, but only "in the right time".
She said: "I come from a big family and I'm a family person and one day, when God wills it, I will have a family but in the right time."
The couple split briefly last year and during her single stint, Nicole penned much of her new album 'Big Fat Lie' and she says now that Lewis' favourite track on the album is one about their break-up.
She told Britain's HELLO! magazine: "I started the album last year when Lewis and I were broken up.
"I was making music for myself, that's what you have to do, to be honest.
"It wasn't about him, it was about me and my music as an artist.
"But yes, we are back together, but his favourite song is 'On the Rocks', he thinks it's unbelievable."

Drew Barrymore can't wait to turn 40.
The 'Blended' actress, who has daughters Olive, two, and Frankie, six months, with husband Will Kopelman, insists she isn't worried or upset about celebrating the milestone next February.
She said: "When I turn 40 on February 22, I'm going to heave a huge sigh of relief.
"I'm so happy to be there. I really am. You work so hard to get there, and it's just awesome."
The 39-year-old star also can't wait for her eldest daughter to get a little older, so she can inherit her favourite designer shoes.
She said: "I can't wait until Olive can fit into my high heels. I have a wonderful shoe collection, but none of them fit since I had the girls."
Drew, who says David Bowie is her style icon, loves experimenting with her look and recently dyed her hair from blonde to dark brown but says her children didn't really notice.
She added to PEOPLE magazine: "When Olive saw my dark-brown hair for the first time, she looked at me, like cocked her head to the side, and then just when on as if nothing ever happened."
"Of all the hair colours I've ever tried, my favourite is red. I'd really love to go back to it. I think redheads are the sexiest creatures because they have an exotic beauty like no one else on the planet."

Kelly Brook and David McIntosh bonded again after they became victims of the recent hacking scandal.
The couple, who called off their engagement last month, rekindled their romance last week after they clung to each other for support when naked photographs of them were leaked online after Kelly's iCloud account was targeted by unidentified hackers.
A source told the Daily Star newspaper: "They had a bit of a spat over the pictures, but the thing was that it got them talking again.
"It was quite traumatic for them and to share something like that got the relationship going again. They were engaged and set to marry this year, so they did have a lot of feelings for each other.
"When they reached out for each other during this difficult time, they found love again."
David initially accused his former fiancée of leaking the photos online herself, writing on Twitter: "silly me for sending pictures to someone I thought I could trust but then would leak them #byaccident (sic)."
Kelly then hit back with the tweet: "Your Ego is beyond. David all my US iCloud pics are online not just of you. Be a grown up (sic)."
However, the pair fuelled rumours they were giving their relationship another go earlier this week after they were spotted enjoying a cosy date in Los Angeles, where Kelly is filming the US sitcom 'One Big Happy.'
A source said previously: "They are back on and giving things another go. They met up to talk and realised how much they'd missed each other."

Derek Hough had a gun held to his head by bullies when he was younger.
The 'Dancing with the Stars' professional feared for his life when his fellow aggressive students threatened to shoot him through the head when he was at school.
Speaking about the on-going abuse he received at the time, he said: "Bullying can be physical, verbal or emotional. Words and threats are just as painful as fists, especially with social media these days.
"For those of you who don't know, I was actually bullied as a young boy on one occasion. They would tie my ankles up with a very rough rope and hang me in a tree upside down, spit on me and call me names, even hold a gun to my head. Coming from a family of hunters, I assumed the gun was real. I didn't tell anybody -- my parents or teachers or friends or sisters."
The 29-year-old hunk turned to dance to help him block out the distressing ordeal he endured at school.
He explained as he collected his award at the Gay Lesbian and Straight Education Network Gala yesterday (17.10.14): "Dance became my GLSEN. It became my safe place, the place where I could grow and flourish and find those answers. I know now that the worst thing you can do is suffer in silence."
