LeBeouf: 'I can't handle fame'

Rex Features

Shia LeBeouf has admitted that he has major insecurities about his fame.

The Transformers star revealed that he does not want to become obscure in Hollywood and parks his bicycle along busy streets in the hope that people will recognise him, Contact Music reports.

He told Parade magazine: "I don’t handle fame well. Most actors on most days don’t think they’re worthy. I have no idea where this insecurity comes from, but it’s a God-sized hole. If I knew, I’d fill it, and I’d be on my way."

The 23-year-old also said that he fears his stardom could disappear at any time.

He added: "Sometimes I feel I’m living a meaningless life and I get frightened. I know I’m one of the luckiest dudes in America right now. I have a great house. My parents don’t have to work. I’ve got money.

"I’m famous. But it could all change, man. It could go away. You never know."

Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen opens in the US and UK on June 24.
