Shia LaBeouf was in family mode on Tuesday when he took his young daughter and her father to Disneyland.
The 37-year-old actor, who appears in Megalopolis, Francis Ford Coppola’s lively comeback film premiering at Cannes, was seen holding hands with two-year-old Isabel.
He also helped by pushing his father, Jeffrey LaBeouf, 76, in his wheelchair around the park.
LaBeouf’s on-again, off-again partner Mia Goth, 30, who was last seen with him in January after they hadn’t been seen together for 10 months, was apparently absent from the trip.
Shia was dressed casually in a set of eye-catching hot pink shorts and a white T-shirt with an Indianapolis 500 print.
Shia LaBeouf, 37, was in family mode when he was spotted at Disneyland with his two-year-old daughter Isabel. His wife Mia Goth, with whom he received her in 2022, was not sent with him.
Shia also helped by pushing his father, Jeffrey LaBeouf, 76, in his wheelchair throughout the park. The two rarely appear together, as Jeffrey lived in Costa Rica for several years until recently.
He sported a thick, dark beard and had his blonde-highlighted hair styled in black, and he blocked the harsh light with dark sunglasses.
The actor completed his theme park outfit with distressed white and gray sneakers and tall white sports socks.
He alternated between walking hand in hand with little Isabel and carrying her on his shoulders when the crowd got thicker.
She looked adorable in a white Minnie Mouse cap, pink pants and a white Spice Girls t-shirt.
At one point, Shia and her daughter took a break from the rides to enjoy ice cream.
They stopped to sit on some stairs while enjoying a mixed swirl of Dole Whip with half a pineapple flavor.
The actor welcomed his daughter with Mia Goth, whom he calls his wife although it is unclear if they are legally married, in 2022.
The couple had reunited after two years of separation, but since then they have only been seen together sporadically.

Shia and Mia were not seen together in public between March 2023 and January of this year, and have not been seen together since the beginning of this year.
Shia appeared to have someone help push Isabel in a stroller while near her father Jeffrey, who switched from a manual wheelchair to an electric scooter.
He sported a long white beard that contrasted with his dark ‘Unsavory’ trucker cap and navy blue military-style jacket.
Jeffrey was dressed in a black and white striped shirt and was wearing dark blue jeans and sunglasses, along with some comfortable black Crocs.
The appearance of Shia’s father was surprising, since he has been living in Costa Rica for the last few years.
Jeffrey had stayed out of the US after previously admitting he had become “tired” of the restrictions and publicity that followed him due to Megan’s Law sex offender registration.
LaBeouf’s father was permanently added to the sex offender registry after his 1981 convictions for assault and attempted rape of a minor.
In 2020, DailyMail.com reported that Jeffrey could have his name removed from the registry if he had not committed any subsequent crimes.

He and actress Mia Goth, whom he calls his wife, welcomed Isabel in 2022.
Shia and Mia had reunited after two years apart, but have only been seen sporadically in the last two years.
LaBeouf’s father has claimed to have kept his record clean since his conviction in 1981, and said in 2019 that he had agreed to return to the United States if his son ever received a major nomination.
Shia played a fictional version of his own father in the 2019 drama Honey Boy, which was directed by Alma Har’el from Shia’s original script.
In the film, he portrayed his father as an alternately neglectful and abusive showbiz father, but in 2022 he claimed on Jon Bernthal’s Real Ones podcast that he had invented the on-screen abuse.
He described his performance as “damn nonsense” and stated: “My dad was very affectionate with me all my life.” Fractured, for sure. Twisted, sure. Clumsy, sure. But he never stopped loving, he never stopped being there. He was always there…and I had done a world press tour about how screwed up he was as a man.’
The film was critically acclaimed at the time, but was negatively re-evaluated after LaBeouf apparently admitted to inventing its most dramatic elements.
In 2022, Shia became involved in the seemingly endless drama surrounding the film Don’t Worry Darling, starring Florence Pugh, Harry Styles and Chris Pine and directed by Olivia Wilde, who also had a supporting role.
Shia was originally cast in the film as Florence’s on-screen husband, before being replaced by Harry.
After his ex-girlfriend FKA twigs came forward with abuse allegations against the Honey Boy actor, Olivia later claimed that she had fired him from the production due to his conduct on set.
She doubled down on those claims in a recent Vanity Fair profile, explaining: “My responsibility was to her.” I’m like a mother wolf. Making the call was complicated, but she sort of understood it. I don’t think it would have been a process she would have enjoyed. He comes to her work with an intensity that can be combative. It was not the spirit that I demand in my productions.’
He added: “I want him to recover and evolve because I think it’s a big loss for the film industry when someone so talented can’t work.”
LaBeouf denied Wilde’s claims that he had been fired and instead stated that it was a pretty good production.
Shia was seen with Isabel on the carousel
Shia appeared to have someone help push Isabel in a stroller while near her father Jeffrey, who switched from a manual wheelchair to an electric scooter.
Jeffrey lived in Costa Rica for several years because he became “tired” of being a registered sex offender after a 1981 conviction for attempted rape of a minor.
Shia’s partner Mia Goth (pictured with him in 2014) has not been photographed in public with him since January.
Controversy arose when LaBeouf’s ex, singer FKA twigs, who dated him from late 2018 to June 2019, filed a lawsuit against him in December 2020, accusing him of sexual assault, battery and infliction of emotional distress.
She also accused him of knowingly giving her a sexually transmitted disease.
In an email to the New York Times shortly after the lawsuit was filed, LaBeouf admitted that he had been “abusive to myself and everyone around me for years” and also said he was addicted to alcohol.
‘I have a history of hurting the people closest to me. I am ashamed of that story and sorry to those I hurt. I can’t really say anything else,” he added.
