I was in the midst of doing my ninth step in this program I'm in, and I had to go make amends to Voight because Voight's politics and mine are very different. I love him very much, LaBeouf said, according to Entertainment Weekly. LaBeouf, 39, and Voight, 89, both worked on 2003's Holes and 2007's Transformers before Megalopolis, Coppola's self-financed passion project released in 2024. He was like my mentor from a young age. He was like the first real actor I ever met, and he's the first one who put me on to [Dustin] Hoffman's repertoire, LaBeouf said.
In 2017, while directing Bohemian Rhapsody amid chaotic conditions and repeated absences from set, Singer was fired from the production, which was ultimately completed by filmmaker Dexter Fletcher. Still, Singer's name remained on the project, which went on to gross more than $910 million worldwide and win four Oscars.
