pressure, fame and drugs made them go crazy. When Shia was a little kid he was normal. I don't see an egotistical terrible actor like a lot of people, I see a malnourished drug addict that doesn't sleep and gets told what he should be doing by different people all day. He's not really a doosh so much as someone with serious issues that tries to hide it. Shia on acid
"He smashed the place up, got naked and kept seeing this owl"
syd on acid
"I went through all of Syd's acid breakdowns. He used to go to the Youth Hostel in Holland Park, climb up on the roof and get wrecked and get spaced and he'd walk all the way to Shepherd's Bush where I was living. He used to come round to my house at five in the morning covered in mud from Holland Park when he'd freaked out and the police chased him"
I'm not saying they are somehow linked, it's just what happens to a lot of people with the factors of pressure, bad lifestyle habits, fame and drugs. People with stable emotions generally don't freak out horribly on lsd, people with mental problems freak the hell out.
