Shia LaBeouf left the Don't Worry Darling production mid-pre-production, sparking controversy and rumors. Director Olivia Wilde said she had to terminate him for reasons of keeping the set safe; LaBeouf said that was not the case. He had left voluntarily over creative differences. Harry Styles replaced him, but on-set tensions with his exit are still being reported. Although drama surrounds him, LaBeouf performed in tough and not-so-glamorous projects such as Padre Pio (2022), where he received acclaim for his raw and introspective performance, showing his continued talent.
