Shia LaBeouf steps out dressed as monk in bizarre new photos

Scandal-plagued actor Shia LaBeouf has stepped out in public sporting a bizarre new look in puzzling paparazzi photos.

Shia LaBeouf turned some heads recently when he was spotted dressed up as a monk.

The actor has stayed out of the limelight following shocking abuse claims by his now ex-girlfriend FKA Twigs.

The Transformers star, 35, was seen outside his home as he said farewell to wife Mia Goth, 27, before heading off to LAX where he was later spotted again, The Sun reports.

What should have been just a normal outing was anything but though, as LaBeouf donned a brown monk robe which was tied together with rope. The actor also sported sandals.

Rosary beads were also seen hanging from the movie star’s pocket, however, no word yet if LaBeouf’s outfit was due to an upcoming project.

As for Mia, she wore black pants and a Harley Davidson T-shirt before saying goodbye to her husband.

While there has been no confirmation if the couple is expecting or not, TMZ previously reported the actress may be “pregnant”.

The famous duo were recently spotted at Chuck E. Cheese, where the outlet reported Mia’s “baby bump” was on display, and that she seems to be “about four to five months along”.

Plenty of fans chimed in as well, as one person on Twitter wondered: “Shia LaBeouf going to be a dad soon?”

Another suggested: “Word is Shia LaBeouf joins the ranks of parenthood soon with Mia Goth, congrats.”

The two first met in 2012 while filming Nymphomaniac: Vol. II, and exchanged wedding vows in Las Vegas 2016, according to People.

However, Clark County officials said at the time that the duo was not legally married.

Officials tweeted: “Our records show no marriage licence for Shia LaBeouf and Mia Goth. A commitment ceremony was performed #Vegas.”

While they have been on and off, they were spotted holding hands in Los Angeles during the coronavirus pandemic, according to the outlet.

Shocking claims

LaBeouf’s previous relationship with singer Twigs – real name Tahliah Debrett Barnett – made headlines late last year when she accused the actor of “verbal and sexual abuse”.

Twigs, 33, accused LaBeouf in a lawsuit of choking her, giving her an STD, and inflicting emotional abuse on her.

In court papers obtained by The Sun, Twigs claimed LaBeouf “knowingly transmitted a serious illness to Tahliah, without ever informing her beforehand that he suffered from this dreadful malady.”

Earlier this year, Twigs told Louis Theroux on his podcast Grounded With Louis that LaBeouf would “start an argument” with her, to make her feel like “the worst person ever”.

Twigs claimed: “He would wake me up in the night to accuse me of all sorts of things, accuse me of staring at the ceiling and thinking about ways to leave him, accuse me of masturbating, accuse me of not wanting to be with him, of wanting to be with someone else.”

Shia’s apology

In response to the claims, LaBeouf said in a statement: “I have a history of hurting the people closest to me. I’m ashamed of that history and am sorry to those I hurt. There is nothing else I can really say”

The star’s lawyer Shawn Holley also told Variety: “Shia needs help and he knows that.”

The troubled actor has also been arrested several times in the past on charges that range from assault to disorderly conduct.
