"I come from hippies," Top CelebStoner Shia LaBeouf says in Parade. "My dad was a wandering dude recovering from the war in Vietnam. And my mom, before she met him, had a head shop in Brooklyn. Bob Dylan used to come in and smoke weed. All her furniture hung upside-down from the ceiling. She was out of her mind. It was the 1970s."
The 22-year-old actor grew up in the Echo Park section of Los Angeles. His parents Jeff and Shayna split up in 1996.
"My dad was a Vietnam vet. He was in Vietnam long enough to come back and be a disaster. My dad brought something called the 'elephant seed' to Oahu, Hawaii. And in Oahu, it became the Thai stick. But how do you make millions on weed when you don't own a plant? Nobody owns a plant. Well, my dad wasn't thinking franchise. He was selling things to the Hawaiian Mafia, and then they would give it to their cab drivers to sell when they picked people up from airports.
"My humor came from seeing my parents have sex, smoke weed, my mom being naked - just weird hippie stuff, twisted R-rated humor. I was a little kid with a Lenny Bruce mouth...”
