Shia Labeouf looks back on messy feud with Alec Baldwin

Shia Labeouf and Alec Baldwin couldn’t get along during their 2013 Broadway play Orphans, and the Disturbia star has spoken out about his side of the story in a highly publicized falling out.

The actor who starred in Henry Johnson explained that he became comfortable with Al Pacino, who was originally cast for the role but left the theatre production before him, leading to Alec taking over the role.

Shia, 38, told The Hollywood Reporter that he "had built the whole thing based on my relationship with Pacino. And that’s gone. So I was kind of heartbroken."

He continued, owning up to his role in the pairing that didn’t last, "By the time Baldwin got there, it was almost unfair, so he’s dealing with both my fractured little weak ego, right?”

“All this hard prep that I’d 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," recalled the method actor.

Shia then stated that this led to the “contentious” atmosphere and Alec, 67, getting “competitive” which made them incompatible.

The Fury star‘s comments come after the Rust actor detailed his version of events a year after the play’s debut.

What did Alec Baldwin say about the feud?

Alec made bold claims about the duo’s interactions, saying, "One day he attacked me in front of everyone,” to Vulture in a 2014 essay detailing their creative differences.

He mentioned that he had a conversation with the stage manager and the play’s director, Daniel Sullivan, indicating that one of them needed to leave.

He followed up by offering to resign himself. However, he noted that instead, "they fired him," referring to Shia.
