Shia LaBeouf discusses what he shares with Dune star Timothée Chalamet and making peace with Alec Baldwin.

Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, the Transformers star discussed what he sees of himself in Chalamet, noting, "" When asked if he views himself as a narcissist, LaBeouf responded, "To get into this field, there’s a certain level of ego — a certain ego sickness that gets you into acting. And now I’m trying to figure out what the healthy version of that looks like."

LaBeouf went on to discuss the ways in which that ego streak hurt his career in prior years, specifically when he left the production of Orphans he would have starred in opposite Alec Baldwin in 2010, At the time, LaBeouf left the production due to creative differences, though only after letting things get "contentious" behind the scenes and on stage. When the pair reconnected years later after LaBeouf enrolled in Baldwin's acting class at NYU, they were "able to send each other love and make it right before all the madness happened on both sides. We made it right. He's a good guy."

Following a handful of film and television roles as a child actor, LaBeouf found early success as one of the stars of the hit Disney Channel sitcom Even Stevens. In 2003, the same year the series ended, LaBeouf had his breakout film role in the live-action adaptation of Holes. While the star has had a rocky career thanks to multiple controversies that have cropped up around him over the years, he has maintained his work in Hollywood with roles in features ranging from the Transformers series from Michael Bay to Francis Ford Coppola's Megalopolis. Most recently, LaBeouf signed on for producer Ridley Scott's next feature, God of the Rodeo, which will be loosely based on stories of incredible violence within the walls of Angola Prison.

Fans of Chalamet's work are eagerly awaiting his return to the silver screen as Paul Atreides in acclaimed director Denis Villeneuve's Dune: Messiah. Set to arrive in theaters sometime in 2026, Dune: Messiah will mark the third and presumably final film from the fan-favorite director. The director previously opened up about his personal impetus for working on Dune: Messiah and closing out the trilogy, saying that he was "really moved by the way Part Two was recieved by cinephiles around the world, and I felt an appetite and a desire to see more and a responsibility to finish that story."
