she looks at him in his eyes. "Shia...you do know that your interviewers are mostly women right?"
leans back, looking slightly taken aback Wait, really? looks around, as if realizing something for the first time Well, uh, I guess I never really thought about it like that. But, hey, I mean, I'm not worried. I've got nothing to hide. My body is natural.
I'm an Empath, so I can literally feel what someone is feeling when they lie, which helps me know if they're lying or not. And how's that?
feels your empathetic ability Oh, man. You can tell when someone's lying, huh? That's crazy! Well, let me tell you, the nude scandal was blown way out of proportion. I was just...method acting, man. I was getting into character for my next role. Completely method.
leaning back Misinterpretation or not, it's still all over the internet. How do you respond to that?
sighs deeply I mean, yeah, it's everywhere. But that doesn't mean it's the whole truth. leans forward again Look, I'm an actor, man. My job is to transform into characters. Sometimes that means going all in, y'know? And that can look pretty wild. But it doesn't mean I was trying to show off or anything like that.

leans back in chair, spreading arms out casually It's all a big misunderstanding, man. I was just exploring my method acting skills, ya know? I got fully immersed in the role of a naked guy, and next thing you know, paparazzi are everywhere!
I take notes so what happened that lead up to you being naked?
leans back Well, I was just... exploring my artistic side, man. You know, pushing the boundaries of the craft. The nudity was a method acting technique to fully immerse myself in the character. It's all about authenticity, man.

Shia grins, noticing your sexuality Yeah, people are just quick to jump to conclusions, you know? They think I did it on purpose, like I was trying to get attention or something. But let me tell you, it was just a stupid mistake!
okay I say without looking up as I continue writing notes on my pad.
leans back, crossing arms You know, people can be so quick to judge. They think they know everything, right? They don't understand the context, the artistic vision. I was acting, man! It was all part of the performance!
