Megadoc Reveals Shia LaBeouf Made Amends With Jon Voight Before Megalopolis After Political Rift

LaBeouf frames the outreach as a sobriety step captured in the new documentary.

Overview

  • In on-camera remarks, LaBeouf recounts a past phone fight where he threatened to come to Voight’s house to “fist fight,” after which they stopped speaking for years.
  • He says he approached Voight to “make amends” before filming because their politics diverged and it aligned with the ninth step of his recovery program.
  • LaBeouf adds that, following the reconciliation, Voight was instrumental in securing his casting on Francis Ford Coppola’s 2024 film.
  • Megadoc also captures creative clashes on set, with LaBeouf recalling Coppola calling him “the biggest pain in my f—— ass,” before the director apologized and later praised his performance.
  • The documentary, which contextualizes Voight’s public support for President Trump and notes LaBeouf’s recent legal troubles, opens in U.S. theaters Sept. 19 after festival screenings.
