12 things you didn't know about Megan Fox
You probably know that Megan Fox made her acting debut in the 2001 family movie Holiday in the Sun and that her starring role came six years later when she played Mikaela Banes in the hit Transformers.
And you surely know that she is considered to be one of the greatest sexual symbols of the 21st century. But there are probably many things that you don't know about the woman who always seems to have a place in the media.
There are twelve things here that you probably don't know.
1. She knew she wanted to be an actress from an early age
Megan Fox knew she wanted to be an actress from an early age. In fact, the moment he realized he wanted to act was when he was watching The Wizard of Oz when he was only two years old.
Fox was so fascinated by the film that she, for over a year, asked her mother to call her Dorothy. But once Fox realized that the film's Dorothy was being played by an actress, she quickly decided to become an actress.
Megan was raised by her mother and stepfather and grew up in a very strict family.
She was not allowed to invite friends over to her house. She wasn't even allowed to date while she was still living at home. So it's no surprise that Fox left home as soon as he was able to earn enough money to support himself.
3. She was bullied at school
Few people now would like to bully Megan Fox, but as a child she was regularly bullied at school. She stated in various interviews that she hated high school because of how bullied she was.
Bullying can significantly affect people's lives. But at least Fox got the last laugh, as she became a bona fide star.
You probably know that Megan became a model at a young age, but you may not know how young she was. In fact, she started her modeling career when she was just thirteen. And during her first year as a model, she won numerous awards at the South Carolina American Modeling and Talent Convention.
5. He publicly supports marijuana
On numerous occasions, Megan Fox has publicly endorsed the use of marijuana and has spoken out about using it herself. She once asked for full legalization and said she would be "the first in line to buy a pack of rods".
While many people fear the sound of nails on a chalkboard, Fox feels the same feeling of fear when he touches newspaper or tissue paper. She once told Wonderful magazine that she can't bear to touch newspapers or tissue paper because they give her the chills. She added that touching anything laminated is fine.
7. Once a tattoo was removed
When Megan Fox was in her early twenties, she got the big screen icon Marilyn Monroe tattooed on her right forearm. But he soon decided that the tattoo might have negative energy attached, so he had it removed when he was twenty-five.
Although she changed her mind about the Marilyn Monroe tattoo, Fox now has eight tattoos. You may know some of them, but you probably don't know what all of them are. Well, she has the Chinese symbol of strength behind her ear, a star and a crescent moon on her left ankle, and the word "Brian", after her ex-husband and father of her three children, Brian Austin Green, on her lower abdomen. . . .
She also has poem tattoo on the left side of her ribcage, a quote from Shakespeare's King Lear on her shoulder, an ocean-inspired yin-yang symbol on her left wrist, and a quote from the philosopher Nietzsche paying homage. Mickey Rourke on the right side of the bust. His most recent tattoo is of a kitten playing the piano with the words "Play Him Off" underneath. The meaning and location of the last tattoo are unknown.
9. He had to gain muscle for his role in Transformers
Everyone knows that Megan's starring role came in the Transformers movie. But did you know he had to put on ten pounds of muscle for his action scenes?
Now you know, you're sure you'll look at it differently the next time you watch the 2007 movie.
Rock band Linkin Park provided the famous song What I've Done for the end credits of Transformers. But the band reportedly did so only after the members personally met Fox at one of its concerts when it asked them to provide the song for the film.
Eleven. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles scenes were edited after Fox found out she was pregnant
Well she, when she found out she was pregnant with her second child, she had already started shooting Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Even if only briefly. She had two weeks of filming when she found out she was pregnant. As a result, some Fox action scenes have been rewritten or cut out entirely. So the end result of the film could have been very different if Fox hadn't gotten pregnant.
Did Megan Fox dress up as a banana? For real? Well, it's not as weird as it sounds, since he did it for work. When Fox worked in a small smoothie shop in Florida before she became famous, once a week she promoted the shop by wearing a giant banana dress and standing by the side of the road. She has certainly come a long way since then.
