Actor Shia LaBeouf has signed on to play a young Padre Pio, the Italian Capuchin friar who later received the stigmata, worked miracles and was canonized a saint. In preparation for his role as St. Padre Pio, LaBeouf recently visited a community of Capuchin friars. “I’m completely immersed in something way bigger than myself,” LaBeouf said in a video he shared on social media.
