These have been difficult years for Shia LaBeouf as she has faced numerous allegations and claims regarding her behavior on and off the set. Although his acting career has remained stable, his final role as a true brother-turned-San Padre Pio in an upcoming biopic may have been a turning point for him. As a method actor, LaBeouf chose to live in a monastery to feel closer to his deceased Catholic brother. But the search for him led him to convert to Catholicism without problems.
According to New York postthe Honey The actor discussed his conversion to Bishop Robert Barron of Word on Fire’s Catholic ministries on the bishop’s YouTube page. Being a complete actor, living in a monastery was nothing to Shia LaBeouf. But when LaBeouf began to live among the priests, little by little something began to take an interest in Catholicism. The former Disney star admitted that the search for him to play Padre Pio has come to a low point in his life.
The reconciliation had taken place. I was already there, I had nowhere to go. It was the last stop on the train. There was nowhere else to go, in any way. Now I know that God was using my ego to draw me to Him, distracting me from worldly desires. Everything was happening simultaneously. But I didn’t want to get in the car, drive [to the monastery] if I didn’t think, “Oh, I’ll save my career.” And when I got here, a change took place. It was like Three-Card Monte. It was as if someone had tricked me into doing it, it seemed. Not in a bad way. In a way I couldn’t see. She was so close to him that she couldn’t see him. I see it differently now that time has passed.
It seemed that making the biopic was a case of “right role, right time”. LaBeouf already seemed to walk away from his life in Hollywood before landing the role of the Catholic saint. It seemed that going to the monastery was a life changing event for him. But his conversion seemed more instantaneous than gradual for the Transformer star.
Shia LaBeouf admitted to Bishop that he does not feel worthy of seeking salvation in any religion. That was until she met other people who dealt with moral issues while they lived there. The 36-year-old actor revealed who he felt seen among the inhabitants of the monastery.
It was seeing other people who have sinned beyond what I could ever conceptualize and who are also in Christ that I thought to myself, “Oh, that gives me hope. I started to feel the experiences of other depraved people who had been there and it made me feel like I had permission.
Prior to her conversion to Catholicism, Shia LaBeouf was at a low point in her life as she faced a personal and professional crossroads. She was dealing with her relapses following a lawsuit for alleged abuse by ex-girlfriend FKA Twigs and for her alleged firing of Olivia Wilde. don’t worry honey. LaBeouf revealed to Bishop Barron where his mentality was before finding his faith.
He had a gun on the table. I was out of here. I didn’t want to be alive when all this happened. Shame like you’ve never known it before, the kind of shame that makes you forget how to breathe. You don’t know where to go. You can’t go out and order a taco. But I also had this deep desire to resist.
So LaBeouf’s darkest hour seemed endless at that moment. Of course the Anger The actor was open about his struggles with PTSD and anger. The trauma was deep enough that Shia LaBeouf thought it would end her life.
Father Pio it will be Shia LaBeouf’s first project since gaining critical acclaim in 2020 women’s pieces. The Catholic-themed biopic will have its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival. Meanwhile, several films will be released in 2022.
