Super Patient With Obnoxious Fans

Shia LaBeouf has truly turned a new leaf … ’cause the dude showed a lot of patience with some obnoxious fans who would not leave him alone as the actor walked along a boulevard in Cannes, France.
Here’s the deal … the Hollywood star — known as much for his stellar acting as his bad boy behavior — played it super cool Sunday night when a few overzealous dudes would not back off for a picture.
As you can see for yourself, Shia is hounded by a small group of fans … and a couple in particular wouldn’t stop pestering him — even after already snapping a few with SL!
It’s pretty clear by Shia’s face he is over one dude in particular, fast … and then he calmly — but sternly — tells the guys to back the F off.
It’s pretty commendable since in the past, the actor very well may have snapped … and then the real trouble would have started.
Shia is in Cannes for a kinda shocking reason … to support the doc “Slauson Rec,” which is a hardcore, unforgiving look at the rise and fall of the theater company LaBeouf launched in Los Angeles in 2018.
Footage reportedly shows moments of SL in a rage and being super aggressive with participants in the company. A Sunday screening at the Cannes Film Festival received a two-minute-long ovation … and marked the first time Shia saw the doc, per Variety.
Perhaps the unflattering documentary was working as a chill pill for the actor … demonstrated by his strained patience later that night.
