   Megan Fox talks about the Olsen twins, says they’re “socially awkward”

Actress Megan Fox is not exactly famous for how she can keep interviews on the topic or not bad-mouth other people in the industry, whom she may have worked with. The same applies for the Olsen twins, whom she describes as socially “awkward.”

Though not many may know this, Megan and the Olsen sisters once worked together for a film, back in the day when the former was not that famous, but the twins were.

This, Megan says in a recent interview cited by GossipCenter, meant that they were rather awkward in public because they’d grown up in the spotlight and did not know how to interact with people in normal circumstances.

It was 2001, and Fox starred with Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen in “Holiday in the Sun.” All three were about 15, the “Transformers” hottie reckons, but she was the only one perfectly capable of relating to others on the set.

“They’re nice girls. The first time I had ever been around someone really famous was them. We were kids, I was about 15 and so were they,” the stunner explains.

Also then, Fox got to see for herself what this kind of media exposure and fame can do to a girl because the Olsens really didn’t know how to be themselves when surrounded by people.

“I saw how awkward socially they were with large groups of people because they had been famous their whole lives and looked at their whole lives and I didn’t understand why anyone would be like that,” Fox says.

“I had no understanding about why you would shut down and be afraid and have phobias, but as it happens to you, you sort of develop them and become crazy,” the star further says.

This is not the first time that Megan Fox talks about fame, though it is a first in terms of picking on the Olsens, who have long retired from of the spotlight and are now pursuing a career focused more on fashion.

In previous interviews, Fox said that she never wanted to be the celebrity she’s now because all she ever dreamed of doing was to act and make a name for herself in movies.

However, since the media would focus on her as a celeb, this meant she was not given the chance to show her worth as a thespian, Megan would often say, which has gotten her even more criticism because, if anything, she’s been given plenty of chances.
