“I have always loved my father deeply,” LaBeouf said. He also “toned down” the portrayal of his father to not “make him look evil,” as LaBeouf exclusively told IndieWire. LaBeouf additionally released text messages, emails, and a video Olivia Wilde sent him to prove that he was not fired from upcoming film “Don’t Worry Darling.” LaBeouf stated that he “ quit” the feature over a lack of rehearsal time opposite Florence Pugh he was later replaced by Harry Styles.īack in 2019 while promoting “Honey Boy,” LaBeouf called himself “nuclear for quite a while,” sharing that even his mother “told me to fuck off.” Penning “Honey Boy” was not “thinking it was material for a movie” but rather with the intention of being a cathartic therapy exercise for LaBeouf at the time. LaBeouf recently admitted that he “hurt that woman” in reference to Twigs, and claimed he is trying to be accountable in the wake of #MeToo. The actor, who is over 600 days sober, additionally denied causing “Honey Boy” co-star and former partner FKA Twigs “any injury or loss” and said she is not “entitled to any relief or damages whatsoever” as their April 2023 court dates approaches amid abuse allegations. “My dad was going to live with this certain narrative about him on a public scale for a very long time, probably the rest of his life,” LaBeouf summed up. Since the “Honey Boy” premiere, LaBeouf shared that he called his father and “took accountability for all of that and knew very clearly that I couldn’t take it back.” LaBeouf admitted to “bullshitting” his father to get permission to make the film, but his own reality “didn’t position me as this wounded, fractured child that you could root for, which is what I was using for.” I remember getting on the phone with him, and him being like, ‘I never read this stuff in the script you sent.’ Because I didn’t put that shit in there.” The “Transformers” alum added, “I wronged him. LaBeouf called “Honey Boy” a “big ‘woe is me’ story about how fucked my father is.” And the story that gets painted in ‘Honey Boy’ is this dude is abusing his kid all the time.” I turned the knob up on certain shit that wasn’t real. LaBeouf continued, “Here’s a man who I’ve done vilified on a grand scale. He was always there… and I’d done a world press tour about how fucked he was as a man.” But never was not loving, never was not there. “My dad was so loving to me my whole life. “I wrote this narrative, which was just fucking nonsense,” LaBeouf said.
