14 DAY TRIAL // Megan Fox, admittedly one of the most beautiful women now working in the industry, is no shrinking violet when it comes to speaking her mind, especially on topics that get her particularly hot under the collar. In the June 2010 issue of Allure magazine, the “Transformers” stunner talks being constantly in the spotlight and seeing online leaked photos of herself.
Though she did do her fair share of enticing photospreads, Megan has managed to keep everything about her classy. A while back, a photo of her snapped on the set of “Passion Play,” in which she wore nothing but panties, leaked online. Asked how she feels about that, an angry Megan says she’d gladly physically harm the person who made the photo available. Unlike reality stars, she’s not out courting the media or looking for attention for things other than her movies.
And this is precisely what irks her the most. Though already labeled with the “beauty” tag, therefore already fighting prejudice, Fox is, as per her own words, constantly trying to prove herself to the public, to show through her films that she’s more than just a pretty face. It’s because of this that she’s trying to be in the media as little as possible, which even means cutting down on public outings in order to prevent the paps from taking her picture. And then something like this happens (i.e. the leak of the photo), which further distracts people from her acting and consequently upsets her more.
Come to think of it, Fox hates the industry as a whole, not just the paparazzi culture. “Everyone blows sunshine up everyone else’s [backside]. I hate receiving compliments; I hate being told I’m talented or people think I’m going to be a movie star. I always feel that it’s forced and fake,” Megan says, sparing no nice words for the same people who perhaps make her career advancements possible.
In the same interview, the star also dishes out advice on plastic surgery. “I would encourage anyone to first speak with a therapist, to try and figure out where this want comes from, because a lot of times it’s not related to your teeth or your nose or your chin — the surgery is not going to alleviate that insecurity for you. If, then, you feel, This is something that I want to do, then do it. It’s amazing that we have the technology to do the stuff that we do,” the natural beauty explains.
