Melbourne
(ANI):
Shia
LaBeouf
says
Michael
Douglas
is
a
'broken
man'
awaiting
his
son's
drugs
trial.
LaBeouf,
23,
who
is
Michael's
co-star
in
the
upcoming
flick
Wall
Street:
Money
Never
Sleeps,
has
disclosed
the
65-year-old
actor
is
troubled
over
son
Cameron's
legal
wrangles.
"I
met
a
broken
man,
not
Michael
Douglas
the
celebrity.
This
man
suffers;
he's
going
through
a
crisis.
He
fears
for
his
son.
Cameron
is
facing
a
prison
sentence
because
of
his
drug
dealing.
When
I
worked
with
Michael,
he
would
visit
his
son
in
prison
before
he
arrived
at
the
set.
It
was
really
difficult
for
him," News.com.au
quoted
LaBeouf,
as
telling
German
website
Gala.de.
LaBeouf
also
said
both
he
and
director
Oliver
Stone
wished
they
could
have
done
more
to
support
Michael.
"Oliver
was
really
sensitive,
but
he
had
to
finish
his
film
at
the
same
time.
That's
why
there
wasn't
a
lot
of
time
left
to
comfort
Michael.
That
was
tough," he
said.
Cameron,
31,
may
face
an
imprisonment
of
up
to
10
years
after
he
pleading
guilty
in
January
to
possession
and
dealing
with
drugs
from
a
Manhattan
hotel
last
July.
Michael,
the
son
of
screen
icon
Kirk
Douglas,
had
recently
said
he
could
have
been
a
better
father
to
Cameron.
He
said:
"My
priorities
were
very
similar
to
my
father's.
Career
first.
The
history
of
second-generation
actors
isn't
great
in
our
industry.
It's
kind
of
a
tragic
road,
actually.
Anybody
who
has
a
relative
or
child
in
substance
abuse
has
some
idea
of
what
this
feels
like.
This
is
one
of
those
worst-case
scenarios.
It
will
ultimately
be
a
painful
lesson."
