Shia LaBeouf Says 'Peanut Butter Falcon' Co-Star Zack Gottsagen 'Softened' Him!

Shia LaBeouf keeps it cool and casual as he holds onto a cup of coffee while making his way inside the Good Morning America studios on Wednesday morning (August 7) in New York City.

The 33-year-old actor stopped by to promote his latest film The Peanut Butter Falcon and opened up about how his co-star Zack Gottsagen changed him.

“He softened me. He’s magnetic. We became like brothers quite quick,” Shia expressed. “There is no like lead time to his love. It’s just instant.”

“As you can see when he talks, you lean in,” Shia continued. “You know, you listen hard and I wasn’t listening like that, you know, I wasn’t greeting the world like that. He greets the world like this, you know, and that’s — With an open heart.”

“Everybody starts at 100 with him and I wasn’t moving like that and I have been moving different since knowing him,” Shia concluded on Zack Gottsagen. “Leaning into people, you know?”
