Shia LaBeouf Explains Split From Carey Mulligan

At the close of their last movie together, Shia LaBeouf broadcast that he’d slept with co-star Megan Fox because director Michael Bay asked them nicely and Fox pretty much responded, ‘heh, why not?’ LaBeouf then threw Fox under the bus in interview after interview. Revealing a timeline that suggested Fox repeatedly cheated on now-husband Brian Austin Green who obviously married her and knocked her up with their Perfect Circle Baby anyway because it’s not like he can do any better. LaBeouf told Details August 2011: ‘Look, you’re on the set for six months, with someone who’s rooting to be attracted to you, and you’re rooting to be attracted to them. I never understood the separation of work and life in that situation. But the time I spent with Megan was our own thing, and I think you can see the chemistry onscreen… It was what it was.’ And now, two years after they split, he’s talking about what went wrong with Money Never Sleeps co-star and ex-girlfriend Carey Mulligan. ‘Carey is not just an actress, she is a great human being, a sweet girl and super intelligent. Our thing came down to not having compatible work/lifestyles,’ he told the Sunday Times Magazine. ‘We were always travelling, and had sensibility differences that weren’t conducive to living with one another. I’m harder on myself and my surroundings than she is, and we had a culture shock in terms of meeting her parents and vice versa. Sensibilities, cultures, histories. There were differences, that’s all. She’s happy as hell right now, and we wouldn’t have been able to make it like that. She was chasing marriage, family, kids more than I was. I’m not opposed to marriage. I just think I’m quite young. I come from divorce. I’m only doing marriage once. It’s not a game for me. I’m not a religious person, but I have ethics.’
