Shia LaBeouf has admitted that he has cheated on every woman he's ever been with.
The actor was sued in 2020 by his ex, musician FKA Twigs, who accused him of sexual battery.
LaBeouf has denied the allegations and a trial date for the civil case has been set for 17 April 2023; however, in a new interview, the 36-year-old came clean about many wrongdoings.
Speaking on Jon Bernthal's Real Ones podcast, LaBeouf said he has a 'long list of people that I need to make amends to', admitting that he has 'cheat[ed] on every woman I've ever been with' and never told his sexual partners about 'getting cold sores'.
Without explicitly naming FKA Twigs - real name Tahliah Barnett - LaBeouf said: "I hurt that woman. And in the process of doing that, I hurt many other people, and many other people before that woman.
"I was a pleasure-seeking, selfish, self-centred, dishonest, inconsiderate, fearful human being."
He continued: "I f***ed up bad. Like crash and burn type s***. I hurt a lot of people, and I'm fully aware of that. And I'm going to owe for the rest of my life."
Reflecting on his past and looking ahead to his future, the Holes star said he wants to be 'useful'.
He said: "When I think about what my life has become, and what it is now, like what my purpose is now… I need to be useful.
"And when I look at this #MeToo environment, there's not a whole lot of dudes that are taking accountability."
When the allegations first came to light, the actor said he initially wanted to take to Twitter and defend himself; however, now the dust has settled, he said his accuser - who he didn't refer to by name - is a 'saint' who 'saved my f***ing life'.
He said: "Had she not intervened in my life and not created the avenue for me to experience ego death, I'd either have a really mediocre existence or I'd be dead in full."
Indeed, LaBeouf has admitted he contemplated suicide after the allegations became public, before turning to God.
Speaking with Bishop Robert Barron of the Word on Fire Catholic Ministries, he said: "I had a gun on the table. I was outta here. I didn't want to be alive anymore when all this happened.
“Shame like I had never experienced before — the kind of shame that you forget how to breathe. You don't know where to go. You can't go outside and get like, a taco. But I was also in this deep desire to hold on."
