Shia LaBeouf wants to clear the air about some things in his film Honey Boy. As you may know, the filmmaker wrote the screenplay for his quasi-autobiographical 2019 project, which was inspired by his complicated relationship with his father, Jeffrey LaBeouf.

Shia actually played a version of his dad in the movie, a character named James Lort — a former rodeo clown and abusive alcoholic.

But it turns out the Transformers star took some creative liberties when it came to how his father was depicted in the movie… Related: Shia Says He ‘F**ked Up’ While Talking FKA Twigs Abuse Claims: ‘I Hurt That Woman’ During an interview with host Jon Bernthal on the Real Ones podcast, the 36-year-old actor spilled that the portrayal of his father as abusive in the film was “f**king nonsense.” Whoa!

He expressed regret over how he “wrong” Jeffrey with the movie, stating: Shia continued: The Even Stevens alum explained that he was “bulls**tting” his father to receive permission to make the film by “just trying to get him to sign this piece of paper” before confessing: He claimed the only time Jeffrey ever spanked him was when he was caught smoking as a child.
