LaBeouf has since admitted in an interview that he felt the need for friction and conflict to drive his performances forward, something that almost got him out of the industry.
“Right now it was like a nuclear bomb,” LaBeouf recalled of that moment in the interview. “No one wants to talk to me, including my mother. My manager is not calling. The agent is not calling. I am no longer connected to the business.” At that moment, he hinted to him, he was ready to commit suicide.
“He had a gun on the table. He was out of here”he said in the aforementioned YouTube interview with the Bishop of Word on Fire Catholic Ministries, Robert Barron. “I didn’t want to be alive anymore when all this happened. Shame like you’ve never experienced before, the kind of shame that makes you forget how to breathe.. You don’t know where to go. You can not go out”.
LaBeouf said that his life had been saved, that he had come to the other side of that dark period as a result of his conversion to Roman Catholicism, which in turn was fueled by research to play the title character in the upcoming Hollywood movie. Abel Ferrera about Padre Pio.
The film will have its world premiere in competition at the Venice Film Festival via festival parallel sidebar Giornate degli Autori.
The actor revealed that the genesis of the project was meeting Ferrara at a Zoom meeting for a “spiritual program” that they both signed up for. “I’m in this spiritual program. We have meetings. And another person who was in these meetings was Abel Ferrera”.
The actor continued: “He wrote me in the chat box: ‘Do you know about Padre Pio?'”
LaBeouf says the result is that he has been able to let go of what he calls the “Old Me” and see that “my life had led to inflicting serious pain and harm on other people.”
He even says of the person he calls “the woman who accused me of all this” that, while he “wanted to go on Twitter and write all this stuff… I wanted to justify all this and explain. Now I see that… The woman saved my life. She was, for me, a saint in my life. she saved my life”.
