Hollywood star Shia LaBeouf has shocked onlookers after being spotted on the streets of Barry in Wal
Hollywood star Shia LaBeouf has shocked onlookers after being spotted on the streets of Barry in Wales - the hometown of BBC sitcom couple Gavin and Stacey.
The Transformers and Indiana Jones actor, 37, posed for photos with locals while filming a new movie about a boxer in Barry Island, while the crew tucked into fish and chips.
The film, called Salvable, is about an ex-boxer in his 40s being given the chance to revive his career with underground fights.
LaBeouf's co-stars include British actors Toby Kebbell, in the lead role of pugilist Sal, and Michael Socha, who previously appeared in This Is England.
This new spotlight on Barry comes not long after it was revealed that a new episode of Gavin And Stacey is being planned for next Christmas Day.

Co-writers Ruth Jones and James Corden, who play Nessa and Smithy in the show, had previously downplayed suggestions of a possible follow-up to the last Christmas special broadcast in 2019.
LaBeouf and fellow cast members were seen taking shelter in a high street tattoo studio Tattoorana - with Socha even having the word 'Rebel' inked on his chest.
The tattoo store's owner Bianca Oliveira has spoken of her brush with Hollywood movie stardom, saying: 'Shia LeBeouf was sitting on my couch in my studio where my clients sit - it was madness.
'My brain is still processing the whole thing. Shia was extremely busy filming, but he was very nice - they were all absolutely lovely.'
The crew were fed for free by local chippie Fryer Tuck - while Kebbell was also spotted training for his role in a nearby boxing gym.
LaBeouf is the subject of a lawsuit filed in 2020 by his ex-girlfriend, the singer FKA twigs, who has accused him of sexual battery, assault, and emotional distress - with a trial scheduled for October this year.
The couple dated for just under a year in 2018, after meeting on the set of American drama Honey Boy', with Twigs later accusing him of 'relentless abuse' and 'knowingly passing on a sexually transmitted disease'.
She branded their relationship 'the worst thing I’ve ever been through in my life'.
Shia LaBeouf was seen on the red carpet last Thursday for a showing of his new film Megalopolis at the 77th annual Cannes Film Festival in France
The Hollywood actor was confirmed into the Catholic church in January this year
His co-stars in Megalopolis include Grace VanderWaal, pictured beside him at the Cannes Film Festival in France last Thursday
Also filming Salvable alongside LeBeouf in Wales is English actor Michael Socha, seen here in last year's BBC2 drama series The Gallows Pole
Another English actor, Toby Kebbell, has also been involved - playing a boxer named Sal
He admitted in a 2022 interview: 'I hurt that woman. And in the process of doing that, I hurt many other people, and many other people before that woman.
'I was a pleasure-seeking, selfish, self-centered, dishonest, inconsiderate, fearful human being.
'When I think about what my life has become, and what it is now, like what my purpose is now - I need to be useful.'
LaBeouf was confirmed into the Catholic church in January this year, with photos posted online of the ceremony at the Old Mission Santa Inés Parish in Solvang, California.
He had previously spent time at the mission to prepare for his role in 2022's Padre Pio.
The announcement of a new Gavin And Stacey episode - with Matthew Horne and Joanna Page as the lead couple - was made by Corden and Jones on social media.
The two co-writers both shared a black and white photo of themselves holding up the script.
They accompanied the picture with the message: 'Some news... It's official! We have finished writing the last ever episode of Gavin and Stacey. See you on Christmas Day, BBC One. Love Ruth and James!'
James Corden and Ruth Jones have written the last ever episode of Gavin And Stacey, set to air on Christmas Day - and recently revealed the news on social media
The pair reunited in secret to pen a new episode of the much-loved BBC series after recently denying any update was in the works
The sitcom follows the lives of Gavin from Essex and Stacey from South Wales, documenting key points in their long-distance relationship and events that bring their two families together
Gavin And Stacey - starring Matthew Horne and Joanna Page as the titular couple - first aired in 2007 and ran for 21 episodes, spanning three seasons and two Christmas specials
Page reshared James and Ruth's photo to her Instagram and wrote: 'Oh my God it's happening! So excited! Last ever Gavin And Stacey! Christmas Day @bbcone Can't wait to start filming!'
The actress also revealed she 'can't wait to find out what happens' next on the BBC show as she does not know what happens after the 2019 Christmas cliffhanger in which Nessa proposed to Smithy.
Speaking on the Off The Telly on BBC Sounds podcast, Joanna said: 'I’m so excited to see the gang again and start filming, and I can’t wait to find out if Smithy has said yes. I can’t wait to find out what’s happening to everybody!'
And Horne seemed excited for the reunion as he reshared the snap of Ruth and James holding up the new script, adding: 'Happy Christmas.'
