- Honey Boy, released back in 2019, was seemingly based around Shia LaBeouf’s real-life experience as a child star in the early 2000’s (Even Stevens, Holes etc.). In addition to writing the screenplay, he also played his father in the indie drama.
- During a recent appearance on Jon Bernthal's Real Ones (LOL), LaBeouf (finally) got honest about his work on that movie, including that some of the abusive sequences were totally fictional.
- "I wrote this narrative, which was just fucking nonsense. My dad was so loving to me my whole life. Fractured, sure. Crooked, sure. Wonky, for sure. But never was not loving, never was not there. He was always there ... and I'd done a world press tour about how fuckeded he was as a man."
- Honey Boy was a movie that was centered around young protagonist Otis (Noah Jupe) and the toxic relationship he had with his father James (LaBeouf) while dealing with the pressure of leading a TV show. And despite what Shia LaBeouf might have said during press for the movie, it turns out that his father was seemingly never abusive IRL.
i never thought i'd say this when i grew up with a poster of him on my bedroom wall for years but fuck shia labeouf. also fuck jon bernthal for having this pos on his podcast and associating with such shitty people
