LABEOUF: 'I SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN DRIVING ON CRASH NIGHT'

SHIA LABEOUF has confessed he should never have been behind the wheel of a vehicle the night he crashed his truck in Hollywood last September (08).

Shia LaBeouf at The Orange British Academy Film Awards (BAFTA) 2009. London, England - 08.02.09

The Transformers star was never charged with drink driving after the accident, even though police suspended his license, claiming the actor had failed to co-operate with them directly after the crash - but he's coming clean in a new Playboy magazine interview.

LaBeouf, 22, says, "I had a whiskey and three beers. I?m not going to start speaking on law stuff now and corner myself, but the fact that I ever got into the car was a mistake."

The star is preparing for his third surgery on his shattered hand, which was badly damaged when he flipped his truck after colliding with another car - and he admits the headline-grabbing smash was a huge wake-up call.

He adds, "I'm in AA (Alcoholics Anonymous) now, too. I've had drinks, but it has been a levelling-out process. Am I an alcoholic? I may not be. I don't know. But I also know that, in the situation I'm in, with temptations what they are, I have no room for alcohol in my life."
