Shia LaBeouf<\/a> was spotted in El Paso \u2014 again.<\/p>\n

The actor took selfies with fans over the weekend at the El Paso International Airport,<\/a> according to a post by FitFam El Paso, which shared photos of LaBeouf posing with fans and United Airlines employees.<\/p>\n

The “Transformers” star is no stranger to the city, having visited El Paso several times.<\/p>\n

In January, he was captured outside El Paso’s Finest<\/a>, a souvenir and fine arts shop across from San Jacinto Plaza, according to a video the store shared on Instagram. The video also appeared to show LaBeouf looking at merchandise inside the store and taking photos with El Pasoans.<\/p>\n

The actor also visited El Paso on Feb 5. 2025 and was spotted in the same area \u2014 in and around San Jacinto Plaza. A day later, photos emerged of the\u00a0actor visiting Bucks Cabaret,<\/a>\u00a0an adult entertainment club, on Feb. 6. LaBeouf was accompanied by his father, according to an employee at the gentlemen’s club.<\/p>\n

FitFam El Paso has shared that LaBeouf’s visits to El Paso are tied to rodeo training for his upcoming movie, “God of the Rodeo.”<\/p>\n

The crime thriller is set in Louisiana’s Angola Prison in 1967 \u2014 the deadliest prison in the American South\u2014 and tells the story of Buckkey, a hardened inmate serving a life sentence who finds a glimmer of redemption in an unlikely opportunity: the prison’s first-ever inmate rodeo, according to Deadline.<\/a><\/p>\n

“As Buckkey and his fellow inmates prepare for a last grasp at glory, they’re confronted with the reality that the rodeo is nothing more than a gladiatorial showcase \u2014 a grueling fight for survival designed to satiate the public’s bloodlust and fulfill the warden’s delusion of godliness,” Deadline writes.<\/p>\n
