Shia LaBeouf seems to be returning to his normal life after being arrested earlier this week. The 39-year-old actor was spotted running without a shirt on in a New Orleans neighborhood on Thursday, February 19th.

This happened shortly after he was arrested outside a bar following a fight where he was accused of battery. The situation has gained more attention as details from the police report are released.

According to the report, LaBeouf repeatedly used a homophobic slur during the altercation. The person involved told police that LaBeouf directed the offensive language at them, and officers also noted he continued using similar language towards others while being investigated and arrested.

Shia LaBeouf is facing new legal issues at a time when he’s been working to consistently appear in films. He recently finished filming The Rooster Prince, where some on set noticed he was behaving erratically and experiencing significant mood swings. While some colleagues were worried, others believed his intense dedication to playing a character with mental health issues may have affected his behavior.

In May 2025, LaBeouf starred in the British boxing drama Salvable alongside Toby Kebbell, playing a determined street boxer. The film, which required extensive physical training, received mixed reviews, but critics praised his powerful performance. He also appeared in Francis Ford Coppola’s Megalopolis, playing the seductive and scheming Clodio Pulcher, alongside Adam Driver and Aubrey Plaza.

Shia LaBeouf has several exciting projects coming up. He’s starring in Assassination, a new thriller about the JFK assassination told from the mafia’s point of view, alongside Al Pacino and John Travolta. He’s also set to play a dishonest police officer in the action-thriller Mace, with Trevor Jackson.

Amidst these career developments, LaBeouf’s personal life continues to draw public attention. He recently bought a house in New Orleans after separating from Mia Goth and has shared that converting to Catholicism has brought him peace. However, with a court date scheduled for March 19th, people in the film industry are watching to see if his personal issues will affect his career.
