Shia LaBeouf feels he has been transformed since welcoming his daughter Isabel.
The Fury actor, who shares the 5-month-old with wife Mia Goth, opened up about fatherhood on the Aug. 31 episode of Real Ones with Jon Bernthal podcast. Addressing how he had “f–ked up” and “hurt a lot of people” before the birth of his baby girl, Shia said becoming a dad was like hitting “some kind of weird reset button” in how he lives his life.
“She’s testing me,” he explained. “It’s almost like having the ultimate parole officer. I need someone to keep me accountable.”
Calling his child “so f–king joyful,” Shia went on to say that Isabel has given him “a new purpose” and how he’s now “learning to be a man of principles.”
“There’s a lot I need to work on,” the 36-year-old said, acknowledging that Isabel will one day be able to read about his troubled past online. “Having a daughter and knowing that your daughter is one day gonna search your name in a search engine and see that you are a deplorable, disgusting piece of s–t, that s–t hits. I have now until she’s literate to create a relationship with her where she knows me more than this idea of who I am in the public.”
