Is Shia LaBeouf Catholic? What is worth knowing about the conversion of the “Padre Pio” star?

A changed man.

Shia LaBeouf has revealed that he is now a Catholic and a member of the Roman Catholic Church after studying for his upcoming film “Padre Pio”.

Preparing for play italian priestLaBeouf recalled being in a very dark place after a series of scandals that included sexual beatings and accusations of abuse.

“I had a gun on the table. I got out of here “, 36-year-old actor” Transformers “, said in a YouTube interview with Bishop Barron posted on Thursday.

“I didn’t want to live anymore when it all happened. Shame like I’ve never experienced before – the kind of shame that you forget how to breathe. You don’t know where to go.

The actor – who recently welcomed his first child with girlfriend Mia Goth – explained that he began living with the Franciscan brothers to prepare for the role of the famous character. This led him to find solace through faith and religious community while he was isolated from the rest of society.

– It got to us. I was already there, nowhere to go. It was the last stop on the train. There was nowhere to go – in all respects, “Even Stevens” actor told Barron.

“Now I know God used my ego to draw me to Him. Pulling me away from worldly desires. Everything was happening at the same time. But there would be no incentive for me to get in the car, drive up the hill [to the monastery] if I hadn’t thought, “Oh, I’ll save my career.”

This discovery came after LaBeouf had several clashes with the law in 2020 that left the controversial actor out of a job.

The actor was charged with petty theft and battery after he got into a fight that took a physical form and stole a man’s hat.

Shortly after he was sued by his ex-girlfriend FKA Twigs, who accused him of being sexually assaulted, assaulted, and inflicted emotional suffering during their brief relationship. She claimed that the actor of “The Hole” had strangled her once in the middle of the night, along with other instances of physical and emotional abuse.

Another of the actor’s ex-girlfriends also came forward with allegations of abuse, claiming that he had hit her with his head on one occasion.

LeBeouf pondered these allegations in a 90-minute interview, calling his actions “disgusting” and “depraved.” His earlier decisions made the actor feel unworthy of the search for religion, but as he read the gospel, he felt “invited” to “let go”.

However, it was only after meeting other people who had gone through similar struggles that the actor was able to fully embrace the religion.

“Having seen other people sin beyond anything I could imagine was also in Christ, which made me feel like,” Oh, that gives me hope, “he said. “I began to hear the experiences of other depraved people who found their way through it, and it felt like I had permission.”

Although LaBeouf’s mother is Jewish and his father is a Christian, he has only now felt a strong bond with one religion.

Recently, Olivia Wilde explained that she fired LaBeouf from her movie “Don’t Worry Baby” to ensure the safety of its crew and crew. She then cast Harry Styles with whom she is now dating.
