Juggling in Movies

Honey Boy (2019)

[Shia LaBeouf, Lucas Hedges, Noah Jupe, Byron Bowers, Laura San Giacomo]

Shia LaBeouf plays James Lort, the abusive father of Otis Lort, a young movie star suffering from alcoholism. In many flashbacks, Otis at age 12 is played by Noah Jupe, and at age 22 is played by Lucas Hedges. This is loosely based on LaBeouf's life and struggle with mental health, and his relationship with his father.

At 16:16, Shia LaBeouf and Noah Jupe take turns juggling 3 balls as they alternately pass one to the other, for about a minute. For every time Otis drops, he has to do 10 pushups.

At 38:54, Lucas Hedges juggles 4 balled up socks alone in his room for about 12 seconds.

Melissa Kaplan is credited as the juggling coach, while Malaika Abramson is credited as the assistant juggling coach. The credits also list The Gballz Factory as providers of juggling balls.
