Shia LaBeouf co-wrote 'Honey Boy' about the relationship between himself and his alcoholic father.

The script, which made the Black List, will be directed by Alma Har'el

The description from the Black List: "A child actor and his law-breaking, alcohol-abusing father attempt to mend their contentious relationship over the course of a decade."

Lucas Hedges will play Shia circa 'Even Stevens', and Shia will play his own father.

This is... a lot.

why does he look like a play doh version of lucas till

mixed with Matt Demon

whaaa

wait, is this heavily based on his life and they changed stuff, or does it use shia's name in the script?

he used a pseudonym to write it, so I am guessing the former, but it doesn't say in the article.

ah ok. i mean it sounds like an interesting yet disturbing concept, but: 1. they look nothing alike; and 2. shia's only a decade older wtf

Shia do you even remember what you look like because it’s not too different from what you currently look like.

lol I know Shia is my age but I can't buy him as old enough to be Lucas' father

Lucas could play the father if he grows a beard.... boy don't look young to be Even Stevens

this is weird

it’s some dumb self-important hipster bullshit and it’s a true representation of everything I don’t like about Shia the beef

lol how is it "hipster" bullshit to write about your personal life experiences?

ETA - this represents my face much better. Like he's going to be playing Shia from...12-15?? and Shia other than looking dirtier looks pretty much the exact same as he always has??

Shia was 12-15 when Even Stevens was on air, who is going to buy Lucas as a middle schooler?

Anyways, I'd be much more interested in a biopic on Kit and Macaulay Culkin

you know kit's deadbeat ass would sell that story in a heartbeat too

it was interesting to hear mac talk about his dad on the marc maron podcast and his own (bunny ears, i'd recommend it! it's one of like two male-only hosted podcasts that i like).
