Since Honey Boy first made its premiere at the Sundance Film Festival back in January, audiences have surely been curious to get a first look at the critically acclaimed drama written by famously outlandish actor Shia LaBeouf. Based on his personal experiences as a child star on Disney Channel fare such as Even Stevens, the film also stars LaBeouf as a version of his own father, portrayed as an “ex rodeo clown and felon.” The younger versions of LaBeouf—except not named “Shia LaBeouf,” as this is not being treated as a straight autobiography—are played by both Noah Jupe as a young child and Lucas Hedges as a grown man.
