Shia LaBeouf becomes Catholic devotee of Traditional Latin Mass

Hollywood movie star Shia LaBeouf has become a Catholic after playing the role of St Pio of Pietrelcina in a forthcoming film.

The Transformers and Fury actor also revealed his devotion to the Traditional Latin Mass in an 80-minute interview with Bishop Robert Barron of Winona-Rochester and Word on Fire ministries.

LaBeouf describes receiving Holy Communion for the first time as a turning point in his life and he now regularly attends Mass, including during the week, and prays the Rosary.

“I start feeling a physical effect from it,” he said about the Eucharist. “I start feeling a reprieve and it starts feeling, like, regenerative, and start enjoying it to such a degree I don't want to miss it, ever.”
