Controversial actor Shia LaBeouf is reportedly embracing a more holy lifestyle.

LaBeouf, 37, who grew up with a Jewish mother and a Christian father, reportedly converted to Catholicism after playing the titular Italian priest in Abel Ferrara’s 2022 biopic “Padre Pio.” 

On Wednesday, the Catholic News Agency reported that the former “Even Stevens” child star was confirmed on Sunday by Bishop Robert Barron — of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Winona-Rochester in Minnesota — in a ceremony at Old Mission Santa Inés Parish in Solvang, California.

“We are thrilled to share that our dear friend Shia LaBeouf has fully entered the church this past weekend through the sacrament of confirmation,” the Western chapter of the Capuchin Franciscans said in a statement posted to Facebook.

LaBeouf’s confirmation sponsor, Capuchin Alexander Rodriguez, told the Catholic News Agency that the “Transformers” star wants to become a deacon “sometime in the future.”

“He just spontaneously said, ‘I want to become a deacon,’ and he still feels that way,” Rodriguez said.

Unlike priests, deacons can be married — however, according to the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, if LaBeouf were to become a deacon while he is not married, then he may need to remain celibate.

According to LA Catholics, “at the Mass, the deacon proclaims the Gospel, may be invited to preach the homily, and assists at the altar. The deacon may also baptize, witness and bless marriages, preside at the Liturgy of the Hours, and preside at funeral liturgies among many other duties.”

LaBeouf’s pivot toward a more religious life comes after the “Honey Boy” actor had several bouts of legal trouble in 2020 and was accused of abusing an ex-girlfriend.

That October, LaBeouf was charged with two misdemeanors — petty theft and battery — after he stole a man’s hat in a fight that turned physical. Two months later, pop star FKA twigs, who dated LaBeouf in 2019, sued him for sexual battery.

“It’s a miracle I came out alive,” the British musician, now 36, told Elle in February 2021 regarding her relationship with LaBeouf.

“I used to get this feeling of intense fear and shame, and I would evaporate from people’s lives. If you’re not talking to your friends or your family about what you’re going through, then there’s no one to regulate your emotions or affirm how you’re feeling. There’s no one to tell you that you’re in a dangerous situation.”

That May, LaBeouf was ordered by a judge to attend therapy and anger-management classes, wear a Soberlink device and submit to random alcohol testing.

In August 2022, LaBeouf, who wrote and starred in his critically acclaimed 2019 movie “Honey Boy” about his childhood, also admitted that he made up the parts about his father being abusive. 

During an appearance on Jon Bernthal’s “Real Ones” podcast, LaBeouf called his own screenplay “f–ing nonsense.”

“My dad was so loving to me my whole life,” he said, admitting he lied about the abuse. “Fractured, sure. Crooked, sure. Wonky, for sure. But never was not loving, never was not there. He was always there … and I’d done a world press tour about how f–ked he was as a man.”

The Post reached out to representatives for LaBeouf for comment.
