Why would he do this outside of mental health issues?
This movie isn't even a major movie and because of Covid19 theater closures it is being released "On demand" in August.

Looks kinda fake, hard to tell though.
shareconsidering its vanity fair, this could be fake news
shareIn the name of extreme method acting obviously, lol. Tattoo aside (and what a tattoo), nothing he does to himself to prepare for an acting role surprises me anymore. I mean... whether that stuff he did to prepare for his role in Fury is true or not, he’s clearly become known for going all in for his roles. And it’s been paying off if I do say so myself. Shia‘s gonna Shia.
shareThe tattoo is real he had it for months now, so it's real
I think it's a tattoo of his mother and him in a clown makeup, so it has a personal side.
I hate tattoos in general honestly, but hey, it's not on my skin.
I hope he got it for personal reasons,
and not for what looks like straight to DVD B movie that no one will ever remember.
Although, I will watch it.
