Megan Fox

Does this image even need a caption?

Megan Fox (born May 16, 1986) is an American actress. She is best known as the second actress to play Sydney Shanowski in the sitcom Hope & Faith and as Carla in Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen. An allegedly self-described comic book geek (be still our hearts), she collects books such as Witchblade and the more obscure Fathom and Gen¹³. She takes umbrage with her character in Transformers for not wearing a seatbelt. Fox was originally scheduled to appear in the third live-action Transformers movie, but was suddenly dropped from the cast on May 19, 2010.

I told them that I would literally commit suicide if they made an action figure of me. I will kill myself.Megan Fox, not practicing what she preaches, reported by Entertainment News International.

I'm terrible in [Transformers]. It's my first real movie and it's not honest and not realistic. The movie wasn't bad, I just wasn't proud about what I did.Megan Fox on Transformers, "Megan Fox: 'Fallen' Angel" on EW.com

I’d barter with [Megatron] and say instead of the entire planet, can you just take out all of the white trash, hillbilly, gay, super Bible-beating people in Middle America?Megan Fox (not realizing Megatron would be doing this and much, much more anyway) in Total Film UK interview.

Notes

• During the publicity in the lead up to the release of Revenge of the Fallen and articles thereafter, there has been a war of words between Fox and Transformers director Michael Bay. Fox has commented negatively on the Transformers sequel, claiming that it was "not a movie about acting" and she spends most of the time "running or screaming, or both"; furthermore, that she "still didn't know what was happening" in the film despite appearing in it and having read the script, and anyone who understood the movie had to be a "genius". Bay, in return, condescendingly remarked that Fox "says some very ridiculous things" and "still has a lot of growing to do". Following the release of the movie, Fox stated in a Wonderland magazine interview that Bay had a Hitler-like dictator persona on set, and off the set was very socially awkward in an otherwise warm review of the man. Evidently having not read the entire interview, three members of "Bay's crew" anonymously responded in an open letter praising Bay and derogatorily citing the difficulty in working with Fox. The letter was quickly removed and Michael Bay himself soon responded, saying he doesn't condone either the letter or Fox's outlandish comments, but noted her "crazy quips" was part of her "crazy charm", and since they had a good relationship, he expects further outrageous comments from Fox in the lead up to the third Transformers installment. This was soon followed by a (this time signed) open letter by another crew member who described Fox in a much more positive light, and put much of the original letter's criticism into context. During her acceptance speech at the 2009 Scream Awards, Fox explicitly objected "a lot of false reports" about how she feels about Revenge, and stated that she always was an "ordinary part of an extraordinary film".

• Following all of that, gossip site TheWrap said she quit Dark of the Moon because Bay had been verbally abusive and "she had enough". They were told this by "an individual close to the actress" and when asked, her publicist responded to them with "left the project on her own and wishes the franchise well".

• In 2008, she was voted the number one sexiest woman in the world by FHM Magazine. In 2009, she only made the second place, beaten by Cheryl Cole.

• In the Revenge of the Fallen game, Mikaela only appears briefly in the game itself, with only a page's worth of dialogue. Despite her small part in the game, Fox was nominated for the "Best Performance by a Human Female" award in the 2009 Spike TV Video Game Awards. In reality, the nomination was not based on voice work, but merely to have some stars in attendance. After all, it is the video game channel.

• It has been suggested that the persona Megan Fox hints at in interviews is a construct, and the real Megan Fox is mostly boring. She keeps a low public profile, doesn't attend parties, has never been in a scandal and has been dating the same guy for five years, without so much as a rumor of an affair. So essentially, all her interviews are conscious attempts at creating a fake media persona that is a lot more interesting than the real person Megan Fox. Sorry, guys.

• As noted above, Megan Fox stated that she "would literally commit suicide if they made an action figure of" her. On September 3, 2009, Human Alliance Skids with Arcee and Mikaela was found in stores. So far, Megan is still enjoying the publicity.
