Most men – and some women too – could probably spend many hours looking at “Transformers” beauty Megan Fox, either on film or in photos. With this is mind, if there is one person on this Earth who can’t stand the very idea of looking at the gorgeous actress, then it’s Megan herself, as she tells The Sun she literally had to force herself to sit through “Transformers 2.”

Fox has made a habit out of not looking at images of herself, whether they are finished movies, paparazzi shots or photo spreads. Though the actress does not specifically say what it is that bothers her about it, she is adamant it’s an unbearable thing for her.

“I usually don’t watch myself. I don’t watch playback. I don’t look at still photos. I have a phobia of it. But, I forced myself to sit down for ‘Transformers 2.’ I shot an entire glass of champagne, so that I could get through it.” Megan is quoted as saying by the aforementioned publication.

Since, not long ago, Megan was also saying she wanted to be taken as a serious actress, at the same time, blasting the “Transformers” franchise and director Michael Bay, her statement that she relies solely on what she knows of her performance on the set does not really speak in her favor, it has been said.

As a rule, actors use their own scenes and movies to learn from their mistakes and improve their performance, wherefrom watching their own work is vital, several movie-oriented publications say. By refusing to do this, Megan Fox is actually agreeing to remain at the level of competence where she is now – which is not really saying that much, they claim.

On a different note, Megan has gone on a break from movie-making and is seeing to her personal life, apparently trying to mend things with on-and-off boyfriend Brian Austin Green of the “90210” fame. The actress was spotted house-hunting several times this week, which has prompted speculation that she and Green have decided to give the affair another go, and move in together in the hope that this would fix whatever has gone wrong between them.

As she was surrounded and, to some extent, hounded by the paparazzi, Megan was also snapped in a situation people don’t get to see her that often, flipping the bird to the cameras.
