(Image via Kevin Winter/Getty)s American actor Shia LaBeouf revealed that he has converted to Catholicism after studying the religion for his forthcoming film, Padre Pio. In an interview with Bishop Robert Barron posted on August 25, the 36-year-old star, who comes from a mixed Christian and Jewish background, talked about how he was spiritually drawn to the religion as he researched the late Italian saint and lived with the Franciscan Capuchin friars to prepare for his role. While speaking with Barron, the Honey Boy actor said he was at a very low point when he started filming Padre Pio. "It was seeing other people who have sinned beyond anything I could ever conceptualize also being found in Christ that made me feel like, 'Oh, that gives me hope.' I started hearing the experiences of other depraved people who had found their way — in this — and it made me feel like I had permission." Shia LaBeouf has been facing accusations of abuse and sexual battery from his ex-girlfriend FKA Twigs since 2020. After the singer filed the lawsuit, the actor underwent inpatient treatment and even broke ties with his agency, Creative Artists Agency. Moreover, he was also fired from Olivia Wilde's directorial film Don't Worry Darling in 2021.

"I had a gun on the table. I was outta here. I didn't want to be alive anymore when all this happened. Shame like I had never experienced before — the kind of shame that you forget how to breathe. You don't know where to go. You can't go outside and get like, a taco." However, the former Disney star was determined and had a "deep desire to hold on." LaBeouf added that he feels that it was all God's plan for him to play the role of the Italian priest, which is eventually helping him.

But there would have been no impetus for me to get in my car, drive up [to the monastery] if I didn't think, 'Oh, I'm gonna save my career.'" Further, he commented on the allegations he faces and called his actions "depraved" and "disgusting." Shia's previous actions made him feel unworthy to turn religious, but as he started researching, he felt an "invite" to "let go." old.money_new.money__babyjesus@thepopularhomieShia LaBeouf converts to Catholicism.1Shia LaBeouf converts to Catholicism. https://t.co/NnIeSoBdEQ On a personal front, Shia recently became a father as he welcomed his child with actress girlfriend, Mia Goth.
