Shia LaBeouf, 38, Is Nearly Unrecognizable at Cannes
The actor sported a white t-shirt with a black jacket and a pair of slacks as he posed for photos. His hair was slicked back and more salt-and-pepper than it has been and he sported a full mustache and a light beard. He also wore sunglasses as he posed for photos at the event.
Prior to flying across the pond for this year's Cannes Film Festival, LaBeouf spoke with The Hollywood Reporter about Slauson Rec, a documentary about the Slauson Recreation Center in Los Angeles, which he founded in 2018.
'When this thing comes out, it isn't any worse than what's been said about me previously. Maybe it reifies people's ideas about me. I think, at heart, I'm a good guy. Am I f----- up? Yes. Is my process ugly and disgusting? Yes. Have I done horrible s--- in the past that I'm going to have to make amends for the rest of my life? Yes. Does this movie change any of that? No. Does it also allow my people to get a foot into this f------ industry? Yes. So gas pedal down, green light go," he told the outlet.
The doc's Cannes debut was announced just one week prior to the festival's start.
These days, LaBeouf doesn't often make public appearances. The 38-year-old has made headlines for all sorts of negative things, including public outbursts and arrests, and, in 2014, the actor said that he was "retiring" from life in the public eye.
"In light of the recent attacks against my artistic integrity, I am retiring from all public life," he wrote on X, according to CBS News. "My love goes out to those who have supported me." The post has since been removed from the platform.
Last year, LaBeouf turned heads in Cannes when he walked the red carpet for the premiere of the film Megalopolis with bleached blonde hair.

Malcolm-Jamal Warner's ‘Cosby' sister Keshia Knight Pulliam pays tribute: ‘I gained an angel'
Keshia Knight Pulliam, who shared the screen with Malcolm-Jamal Warner on 'The Cosby Show,' highlighted the Emmy-nominated actor's musical talents as she broke her silence on his death. Pulliam on Sunday shared an Instagram video of Warner playing the bass at Atlanta's City Winery. She shared the video of Warner, best known for his portrayal of clean-cut Theodore Huxtable, a week after he drowned while swimming in the Caribbean off Costa Rica. He was 54. 'A week ago I lost my big brother but I gained an angel,' Pulliam captioned her video. She played Rudy Huxtable, the youngest of the TV family's children. 'I love you... I miss you,' she added, before referencing the other Huxtable children. 'We got our girls.' 'House of Payne' star Pulliam, 46, is the latest 'Cosby Show' star to mourn Warner. As news of the actor-musician's death spread last week, co-stars including Bill Cosby, Geoffrey Owens and Raven-Symoné paid tribute. Cosby told CBS News last week he and co-star Phylicia Rashad were 'embracing each other over the phone' when they learned of Warner's death. 'He was never afraid to go to his room and study. He knew his lines and that he was quite comfortable even with the growing pains of a being a teenager,' Cosby said of Warner. Owens, who appeared as Warner's on-screen brother-in-law, Elvin Tibideaux, said in a statement shared with Deadline that his co-star's death had left him speechless. 'Malcolm was a lovely man; a sweet and sensitive soul. I respected him for many reasons, including the fact that he genuinely loved the act of creation,' he said. Warner, also a TV director and a Grammy-winning musician, was on vacation with his family at the time of his death. He was swimming when a current pulled him deeper into the ocean. The Red Cross in Costa Rica confirmed to The Times last week that its first responders also tended to another man in the same drowning incident that claimed Warner's life. The patient, whose identity was not disclosed, survived. First responders found Warner without vital signs, and he was taken to the morgue. As news of his death spread last week, his Hollywood peers, including Morris Chestnut, Tracee Ellis Ross, Viola Davis and Niecy Nash also paid tribute on social media. Beyoncé honored the actor, briefly updating her website to include a tribute to the TV star. Pulliam also thanked fans on Sunday for their support as she mourned. 'Thank you for every text, call and all the love that you have sent my way,' she said in an Instagram story. 'I've just needed a moment.' City Winery in Atlanta, the venue from Pulliam's video, will host an event in Warner's honor on Wednesday. 'This tribute is our communal offering to say: Thank you. For the way he gave, for the work he created, for the bridges he built between TV, poetry, music, and love,' says the event website. According to the site, all profits will go to Warner's family. He is survived by his wife and daughter.

WWE star Chelsea Green leaves social media after fallout over Hulk Hogan tribute
WWE star Chelsea Green is taking a break from social media after she faced a wave of backlash for honoring the late Hulk Hogan following his death. Hours after Hogan died July 24 at 71, the 34-year-old Canadian wrestler appeared on CBS News' 24/7 show to pay her respects, calling him an 'absolute icon' while acknowledging his 'polarizing political views.' Many fans appeared to interpret her comments as 'dismissive' of the WWE icon's divisive politics and the scandal over his use of racist language. 'I've tried to keep my page positive and comedic, but today, a lot changed… and it hit harder than I expected,' Green said on X the next day. 'The name calling, the death threats, the faceless accounts. Social media was supposed to be a fun place and it hasn't been for a while,' she added. 'It's been overwhelming and I need to step away for a little bit.' She had initially addressed her remarks on Hogan, affirming her stance on racism is 'unwavering. I do not condone it—period.' She explained that 'a significant part of my role at @WWE involves engaging w the public & responding to questions, often on live platforms.' 'If my response (or tweet) seemed dismissive of real concerns, I sincerely apologize,' Green said. 'That was never my intention. I tried to acknowledge a death respectfully, even when the legacy is complicated. I am learning one day at a time and will continue to learn.' Years before his sudden death, Hogan had been involved in one of his biggest controversies: the release of his 2006 sex tape by gossip blog Gawker. The footage, published in 2012, proved troublesome not only because it revealed his extramarital affair with Heather Clem — the wife of his then-best friend, radio personality Bubba the Love Sponge — but also because it captured Hogan making a string of racist comments about his daughter dating a Black man. He was consequently dropped by WWE over his remarks. Hogan later issued a public apology, insisting: 'This is not who I am. I believe very strongly that every person in the world is important and should not be treated differently based on race, gender, orientation, religious beliefs or otherwise. I am disappointed with myself that I used language that is offensive and inconsistent with my own beliefs.' In recent months, Hogan had also become known for his controversial allegiance to President Donald Trump. He famously joined Trump on his 2024 presidential campaign, even speaking at the Republican National Convention, where he performed his popular shirt-shredding stunt. Trump led MAGA tributes to the wrestling legend on Truth Social, writing: 'We lost a great friend today, the 'Hulkster.' Hulk Hogan was MAGA all the way — Strong, tough, smart, but with the biggest heart.'
