The star of a film about California’s Chicano culture has said it was “natural and real” to have white actor Shia LaBeouf also appear in the movie.

Bobby Soto said LaBeouf’s character in the David Ayer film The Tax Collector mimics his own experiences of growing up on the west side of Los Angeles.
