Amid the attempt to “cancel” Shia LaBeouf on Twitter, Zack Gottsagen’s mother, Shelley, spoke with TooFab to set the record straight, further emphasizing the “beautiful” relationship the two men share.
“I would hate to see any misconception out there. I mean, you know, Shia is just wonderful, you know, we really love him. If anything, I think they were grinning because it was hard to get the envelope open,” she said. “We just love Shia and the respect that Shia and Zack have for each other is beautiful. Their friendship is really, really beautiful. And, you know, it just, it upset me when I thought that somebody was thinking that Shia could have ever had a kind of negative attitude ’cause he’s been nothing, nothing, nothing but supportive.”
Shelley added that LaBeouf has been very supportive of Gottsagen’s acting career. “He’ll really seek out opportunities for Zack and did a lot with promoting the movie, you know, which, Shia always doesn’t—that’s not really his thing, but he did it for Zack.” And the unwavering support definitely isn’t one-sided. “This is the least judgmental friend that I have, the most supportive, the most consistent,” LaBeouf told The Associated Press.
All that to say, it sounds like the two are BFFs who have each others backs no matter what. And it seems like the Oscars moments that sent the internet into a tizzy was nothing more than a funny moment between friends.
