Shia LaBeouf Confirmed Into Catholic Church

According to a Capuchin Franciscans – Western America Province Facebook post recently, Shia LaBeouf has “fully entered” the Catholic Church.

The 37-year-old actor, who has starred in the blockbuster films “Transformers,” “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen,” “Transformers: Dark of the Moon,” and “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull,” told Interview Magazine in 2014 that he “found God” during the filming of “Fury.”

Throughout his career, LaBeouf has weathered his share of controversies, including being arrested for disorderly conduct, harassment, criminal trespassing, and public intoxication. In 2020, LaBeouf was a accused of sexual battery and physical and verbal abuse by actress FKA Twigs, a former girlfriend he met on the set of “Honey Boy.”

LaBeouf has admitted that he isn’t proud of some of the things he’s done in his life and has said that he’s “hurt a lot of people, and I’m fully aware of that. And I’m going to owe for the rest of my life,” adding that there is a “long list of people that I need to make amends to.”

But last year, during an interview with Bishop Barron, the actor shared that he had fallen in love with the Catholic faith while preparing for his role as a Franciscan friar in the 2022 film “Padre Pio.”

“We are thrilled to share that our dear friend Shia LaBeouf has fully entered the Church this past weekend through the sacrament of confirmation!” Capuchin Franciscans’ post said. “The Capuchin Franciscan friars are overjoyed to welcome him into the fold and witness his deep commitment to his faith journey.”
