Here's a funny bit of news for you. When you're going to go see the “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” at the cinema, you're going to notice that hot actress Megan Fox who plays the role of the inquisitive reporter April O'Neill is oddly very well clad throughout the movie.

This is because the actress was contractually obliged to show as little skin as possible, believe it or not. In a day and age where actresses compete to show outrageous amounts of skin just to remain relevant, Megan was told to keep her goods to herself, so as to not draw attention from the real stars of the movie – the turtles.

The actress said in an interview quoted by Heat that “I’m completely clothed for the entire movie. There’s no gratuitous skin or anything. Jonathan [Leibesman – the director of the film] was really insistent on not wanting her to be sexualized or to take that sort of typical role we’ve seen women take in movies thus far, and that I’ve taken in particular.”

That suited 27-year-old Megan just fine, as she's recently made a decision to choose her roles more carefully in the future, in light of the fact that she's now a mother and she doesn't want to embarrass her growing children.

Smart move for her, but fans are going to be disappointed when going to see the movie, because they were certainly expecting at least one hot scene like the one Megan did in the “Transformers” movie.
