US EditionShia LaBeouf Says He Almost Got Into A 'Fist Fight' With His 'Mentor' Jon Voight Over Politics
Shia LaBeouf reconciled with mentor Jon Voight over differing political views to work together on 'Megalopolis'; their past feud included a near physical confrontation, as shown in 'Megadoc'.
- Shia LaBeouf and Jon Voight, former co-stars and mentor, reconciled during the 2024 filming of Megalopolis after years of not speaking.
- Their estrangement followed a heated phone fight where LaBeouf threatened to come to Voight's house for a fist fight, largely due to their very different political views.
- Megalopolis production revealed tensions not only between LaBeouf and Voight but also between LaBeouf and director Francis Ford Coppola, who sometimes abandoned the set after disputes.
- Coppola called LaBeouf the 'biggest pain in his fucking ass' yet praised his performance and later apologized via email for losing his temper during filming.
- Their reconciliation and the struggles during production, shown in the documentary Megadoc released September 19, illustrate complex relationships amid creative challenges and personal conflicts.
