Shia LaBeouf Seen Leaving for Rome for Dad's Baptism Following Court Approval
Shia LaBeouf Departing for Rome for Dad's Baptism After Court OK
It’s been a long, rocky road ... but Shia LaBeouf finally departed for Rome for a very personal moment ... his father’s baptism.
Check out the pic -- Shia stepped out of a car in a funky shirt on his way out. He looked surprisingly cool, calm, and collected, even though the trip wasn't exactly easy to pull off given all the recent drama swirling around him.
Quick reminder -- court docs show initially denied his request to leave New Orleans and travel March 1 to March 8 ... ordering him to stay put and continue substance abuse treatment.
His lawyer came back with a new request on March 4 -- and this time, the court gave him the green light. Even so, the itinerary is tight. Shia’s only allowed a week abroad, meaning he’ll be back in time for his next court hearing on March 19.
The legal mess stems from a rough Mardi Gras morning in February, when the former Disney star got into a bar brawl, ended up on the ground during the fight, and was arrested. He was picked up again Feb 28 on an additional battery charge tied to the same incident -- though he only spent short stints behind bars both times.
