While on The Late Show with David Letterman on Monday night, the host wasted no time before asking actor Shia LaBeouf about his recent beef with actor Alec Baldwin.

Baldwin and LaBeouf were slated to act alongside each other on a Broadway production titled Orphans. However, LaBeouf left the play in February for "creative differences."

LaBeouf said to Letterman, according to Inquisitr, "Me and Alec had tension as men. Not as artists, but as men. In a room, that became hard to deal with."

The Transformers actor added, "He's a good dude and the show is terrific. I got nothing bad to say. I'm pretty passionate and impulsive, and he's a very passionate individual as well and I think that impulsiveness and passion make for some fireworks."

LaBeouf was on Letterman to discuss his upcoming film, The Company You Keep, directed by Robert Redford.

After LaBeouf left Orphans, Baldwin said of the actor in an interview with Vulture, Baldwin told Vulture: "I can tell you that, in all honesty, I don't think he's in a good position to be giving interpretations of what the theater is and what the theater isn't. I mean, he was never in the theater."

LaBeouf was replaced by Ben Foster and Orphans opens on April 18 at the Schoenfeld Theatre.
