(andPOP) - “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” star Shia LaBeouf has opened up about his traumatic childhood.
The 21-year-old actor grew up in a part of Los Angeles full of gang crime and even witnessed violence first-hand during the race riots in 1992.
“I saw people get stabbed across the street in the park on a daily basis,” said LaBeouf, who also admits his father was a drug dealer and addict.
“I didn’t get a lot of time with my father. I didn’t really know him until I started working on my Disney show ‘Even Stevens’, and that was because I was paying him to be my parent on set.”
The two have never had a close father-son relationship.
