Indiana Jones star Shia LeBeouf is in an upcoming issue of GQ Magazine and he chatted about working for the Disney Channel. Here’s what he had to say:

‘Disney wouldn’t pay for my room and board, so me and my pop stayed in this $60-a-night hotel, called the Motel Vista, for three years,’ LaBeouf says. The setup was, in part, a scheme to help his father stay clean. The setup was, in part, a scheme to help his father stay clean. They went to his AA meetings together, played cards, and slept in the same room. “That’s where me and my dad became best friends,” he says. LaBeouf pitched this unusual arrangement to Disney, who bought the rights to the story, but the project (Rent-A-Dad) has never moved out of development.
