Shia LaBeouf Raves About Church, Sex in Wild Clip Recorded Week Before Arrest

Shia LaBeouf might not be considering the priesthood … but he does have some interesting ideas on how to bring people back to church … one that would make Sir Mix-a-Lot proud!

We’ve obtained exclusive video of the actor chatting with a group of people on February 7 … 10 days before getting into a brawl in New Orleans, which landed him behind bars yesterday.

In the clip, the group appears to be chatting about religion … with Shia admitting to being a Catholic — which he says makes him a “full-blown weirdo.”

He then loudly asks the group if they go to church … and, when it’s clear they don’t, he yells they would if there was “a bunch of ass” and “ass getting flopped around.”

It’s a super strange tangent … and the group mumbles some agreement before the short clip comes to an end — provoking more questions than answers, if we’re being real.

As you know … we’ve published a series of videos documenting Shia’s recent erratic behavior — including the clip of the actor getting manhandled and thrown down yesterday outside a New Orleans bar.

One man yells at Shia in the clip, “We gon’ beat the f*** out you, boy. Chill!” Shia was ultimately arrested on 2 counts of simple battery after allegedly punching 2 people earlier.
