Actor Shia Labeouf converted to Catholicism after filming Abel Ferrara‘s Padre Pio. The biographical movie follows the first free election in Italy after World War I and delves into the spiritual struggles of Padre Pio, a priest.
Inspired by the story, Labeouf has become Catholic and is considering becoming a deacon “sometime in the future,” according to the actor’s sponsor, Brother Alexander Rodriguez, in an interview with Catholic News Agency.
Rodriguez said Labeouf had “just spontaneously said, ‘I want to become a deacon,’ and he still feels that way.”
Labeouf was confirmed on New Year’s Eve during a Mass celebrated by Capuchin Franciscan friars. Bishop Robert Barron of Winona-Rochester, Minnesota, confirmed him.
On X, formerly known as Twitter, Barron shared the news that Labeof had been “fully received into the Church.” Then, he quoted St. Augustine of Hippo.
The Capuchin Franciscans from the Western American Province also shared a statement on Facebook.
