Los Angeles - Shia LaBeouf had a "scary" time in jail after he was forced to wear a Hannibal mask and led jacket.
The 28-year-old actor spent 24 hours in jail after being arrested for disorderly conduct in June, but the star insists his stint in custody felt like "forever" after he had a restraint mask, similar to the one worn by cannibal character Hannibal Lecter in crime thriller Hannibal, put on him.
He said: "Jail was quite scary ... I was there for, it felt like forever, I think 24 hours 25 hours ... They put a Hannibal mask on me and a led jacket. It was very scary."
After being taken to the police station following his arrest, while watching a Broadway performance of Cabaret, Shia spat on an officer, which he has now issued an apology for after admitting it was a big mistake.
Speaking on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, the Fury actor said: "I did spit on a cop. That's a no, no. I'm sorry if you're watching dude I'm sorry."
Since his June arrest, which occurred after he started shouting at actors in the play - which stars Alan Cumming and Michelle Williams - swearing at security guards and smoking, the Transformers actor has sought treatment for an alcohol problem and insists he is now back on track.
He said: "I went through like an existential crisis, which turned into some explorations. I had some hiccups, some judgment errors."
