Shia LaBeouf Defends His Creative Differences (Photos) Feb 21st 2013, 18:43 Shia LaBeouf has abruptly departed Daniel Sullivan‘s upcoming production of Lyle Kessler’s Orphans due to “creative differences.” A source told The New York Times that Sullivan was worried about Shia’s “performance choices” and had several talks with Shia and the producers about this before he decided that the role should be recast. To explain his sudden exit, LaBeouf used his Twitter account to post a series of email exchanges between himself, Sullivan and co-star Alec Baldwin among them. The emails show that a conflict between LaBeouf and Baldwin may have been at the heart of the matter. Under the heading "creative differences," LaBeouf attached an email exchange between him and Sullivan. LaBeouf described to Sullivan what it is to be a man, writing, "He can apologize, even if sometimes it's just to put an end to the bickering." He added, "Alec, I'm sorry for my part of a dis-agreeable situation." In response, Sullivan wrote, "Alec is who he is. You are who you are. You two are incompatible. I should have known it … This one will haunt me. You tried to warn me. You said you were a different breed. I didn’t get it." If there was a tiff between the two actors, Baldwin appears to be holding no ill will. LaBeouf posted an email between them in which Baldwin wrote, " I’ve been through this before," adding, "I don't have an unkind word to say about you. You have my word." As heartfelt as Shia’s apology appeared to be, they weren’t his words. The entire refrain was lifted verbatim from Tom Chiarella’s “What Is a Man?,” which appeared in Esquire’s 2009 “How to Be a Man” issue.
