Jewish-born actor Shia LaBeouf has converted to Christianity after he "found God" while working on his new film Fury.

In a tell-all conversation with Interview Magazine, the star said he decided to reject Judaism and become a Christian while playing a devout Christian character on the set of his new movie, out this year.

"I became a Christian man, and not in a f*cking b*llshit way – in a very real way. I could have just said the prayers that were on the page", LaBouef told reporters.

The 28-year-old, who is photographed in the magazine posing shirtless, says: "It was a real thing that really saved me... It's a full-blown exchange of heart, a surrender of control."

LaBeouf, who climbed to the top of the Hollywood A-List for his role in Transformers, told Interview Magazine that Fury director David Ayer and co-star Brad Pitt helped him through the conversion process.
