Shia LaBeouf was bullied for being a Disney Channel star.
The 'Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen' actor - who rose to fame when he
appeared in several children's TV shows - was teased by his peers for
finding fame so young.
He said: "The Los Angeles that I and all my friends come from is totally
different to the one you see on comedy show 'Entourage'. To go back to my
Los Angeles and say, 'Yeah, man, I'm working on the Disney Channel.' Well,
that's not something you wanted to blurt out immediately.
"Now, you could go back to that crowd and say, 'I'm making 8,000 bucks a
week - legally!' And they'd say, 'Wow, how you doing that?' So you tell
them, 'Disney Channel' - and the s**t starts again!"
The 22-year-old hunk - whose father was an alcoholic drug dealer - finds it
"outrageous" he was tormented for being successful rather than his troubled
upbringing.
He explained to Britain's Guardian newspaper: "The fact that I was on the
Disney Channel versus the fact that my dad was a drug dealer is, like, just
outrageous to me. But life is funny that way.
"I feel blessed. I'm an actor for hire, man. I couldn't be happier it's
worked out this way, because that's a great job."
