​Alan Cumming talks Shia LaBeouf's "Cabaret" incident

Alan Cumming had a different vantage point the night Shia LaBeouf interrupted the Broadway production of "Cabaret" back in June.

The Broadway star was performing onstage when LaBeouf disrupted the show, a move that got the "Fury" star arrested on charges of criminal trespass and disorderly conduct.

During a visit to "Conan" Monday night, Cumming recounted the events of the night, noting that LaBeouf was "just wasted" and "really messed up" at the theater.

"There was an atmosphere when I went down to go onstage and start the show, everyone was freaking out, because there was, you know, someone who seemed to be a crazy person, shouting and stuff," he said, adding, "He was smoking."

Cumming recalled how LaBeouf "whacked" him on the behind while he was doing a scene nearby the audience. Cumming didn't seem to mind, though, laughing about it now.

"We've all done things when we've been out of it and messed up," he said. "And not everyone has to deal with in such a worldwide scale and I think he made a great recovery."

For his part, LaBeouf talked about the "Cabaret" incident last week on "Jimmy Kimmel Live." See what he had to say here.
