AceShowbiz - Alan Cumming shares his side of story about Shia LaBeouf's drunken action prior to his arrest at Broadway show "Cabaret" recently. Cumming, whose butt was slapped by the former "Transformers" star, recalled the incident when he stopped by "CONAN" on Monday night, October 20.
"I think he was really messed up, obviously... He was just wasted. He was just wasted from the second he walked in," he told the show's host Conan O'Brien. "So there was an atmosphere in the [theater]. When I went down to go on stage and start the show, everyone was freaking out because there was someone who seemed to be a crazy person shouting and stuff."
Cumming was performing at the play when he went to the audience. "He whacked me," the star of "The Good Wife" recalled. The 49-year-old actor, however, let it slide. "We've all done things where we've been out of it and messed up. Not everyone has to deal with it on such a worldwide scale, and I thought he made a very good recovery. And he did say that the reason he did it was that I was the sexiest man he'd ever seen," he said with a joke.
The "Fury" actor shared details of his arrest during a visit to "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" last week. "Alan Cumming walks past me ... and all I'm thinking about is the leather pants and him winking at me ... He walks past so I give him a slap on the ass, because I think he deserves it. He's the sexiest man I've ever seen. I don't just slap it, slap it. I grabbed him. I grabbed a whole cheek because I wanted the party right here in my pants!" he said.
