Megan Fox: She's So Hot Right Now

Monday, 01 September 2008 19:00

When you're standing between Decepticons and Autobots in a battle for human survival, what's a girl to do? For Megan Fox, not give a care in the world.

As if the handful of magazine covers haven’t given it away, this month, Megan returns for another danger-filled outing with Shia LaBeouf's Sam Witwicky in the comic-book-inspired Transformers 2: Revenge Of The Fallen.

The woman who was voted sexiest of all by FHM last year, and more recently grabbed the No. 2 spot on Maxim's Hot 100 List of 2009, confessed during this interview she would rather hug a warm bucket of KFC than be anybody's “It Girl.” Megan gets characteristically candid about everything from the Hollywood scene to sex scenes, and drops some hints about killer scenes in her next movie, Jennifer's Body.

Do you think you're a real “It Girl” since the first Transformers came out?

I don't think anybody really gives a shit. But my mom is incredibly proud of me. You know, I don't leave my home, ever. And if I do, it's to go to KFC. So I'm kind of unaware of how things have changed.

And I don’t interact with fans. But I did look at some blogs, and they were saying shit like, “What the fuck are Shia LaBoeuf and Megan Fox doing in this movie? We want to see robots!”

How about the Hollywood scene?

I'm not involved in Hollywood at all. I avoid that completely. It just doesn’t appeal to me. I see what it does to people. So I don’t go to clubs, because I’m not looking to hook up with anybody there. And why would I go out to dance around tables if I’m not looking for that kind of attention?

Does the tabloid stuff piss you off?

I don't read anything about myself. I can't. I think it would make me insane. Like people I know who have Google alerts on their phones, they're all crazy.

What's up with Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen?

It's good. It's gigantic! It takes place two years later. Shia and I have been dating for two years, so it's kind of like old news.

So what's not old news? Any sex scenes?

Nope, there are no big love scenes or anything. They're kind of a bickering couple now. You know, like an old married couple. That's all I can say!

What about doing all that physical stuff for a movie?

I’m very lazy. I hire a personal trainer. And I'll be like, “Not today!” Those scenes are hard, but fun. But I’m not interested in getting hurt. I’m a sissy.

How about comic book love, are you into that?

Yeah, I'm a big nerd. I'm a giant comic book nerd.

Would you say you're a Transformers know-it-all?

I can't retain all that information; there's just too much. So I know way less than I should, I guess. But I was never a huge Transformers fan. I would get it confused with the other robot stuff that had people in it.

What were you into when you were a kid?

I played with Ninja Turtles.

What else are you up to on your down time?

I like to draw, and I read a lot. I also like bowling. I’m pretty boring!

Is it true that you've got some strange killer sex scenes in your next movie, Jennifer's Body?

Yeah, I eat and seduce everyone. All kinds of craziness.  It was awkward. It’s always awkward. It's never fun. And it was really hard not to laugh hysterically and endlessly when I was making out with Johnny Simmons. You know, he's like my brother, so it was really awful.

What was the first big date movie that blew you away?

I wasn’t allowed to date like my whole life until I moved out. But I snuck out once and went to see Lord of the Rings with a boyfriend. I was like 16, and sneaking out. That was wild.
