Shia Labeouf 'Found God' During 'Fury's' Shooting : The Actor Says 'He Became Christian Man In Real Way'
Shia Labeouf "found God" while filming "Fury". In an interview with the Interview magazine, the actor revealed that during the film shoot he turned into a devout Christian in a "real way," and "surrendered" himself to the religion. The 28-year -old actor's new found faith in Christianity is said to be because of his co-actor Brad Pitt.
"I became a Christian man, and not in a fu----ng bull---- way, in a very real way. I had good people around me who helped me. Brad [Pitt] was really instrumental in guiding my head through this," Shia said to the magazine. Shia plays a man of religion in "Fury," and his character is spiritually inclined. He further revealed that he could not have said the prayers on screen if he would not have understood the religion.
The actor also talked about Brad Pitt hinting that not many people know the real Brad Pitt. Shia said that Pitt is a very "thoughtful actor" and he really takes his work seriously. Apparently, Pitt puts a lot of efforts before playing a role in front of the camera, as reported by the magazine.
In the last three years, Shia has done a slew of drama movies including "Nymphomaniac, "Charlie Countryman," "The Company You Keep," Lawless, "and "Fury." Speaking about choosing these movies, he said that he as a person is undergoing existential crisis and "Metamordanism" has influenced his decisions. It is apparently a theory which comes into being after going through various forms of crisis.
Shia also revealed that he thinks he is a "sh--" actor and has a lot of insecurities. In other news, Shia may not return for "Transformers 5." He is reportedly ready to do another film with Michael Bay but he said that things have changed since "Transformers 3"and he does not see himself returning with Rosie Huntington, according to Christian Post.
While "Transformers 5" has already been announced, it is not known after "Fury" which is the next film Shia is doing. He is currently basking in the success of the film which has proved to be a major box office success and has reached the no.1 spot in Australia.
