All about Sexy Megan Fox

Megan Fox

Megan Fox has one of the prettiest faces in Hollywood. She’s one of the hottest Hollywood starlets of the day, she graces magazines covers and tops sexiest women lists. Megan Fox knows how to attract attention, she knows how to make men want her. She knows women are envious of her beauty, her looks and great body. She doesn’t seem to care but she likes to provoke excitement. Megan Fox loves talking about sex, her personal life and her career. She’s open and honest. She’s a real person, which is refreshing, as her mom once said.

Before she became famous

Megan Denise Fox was born May 16, 1986 in Oak Ridge, Tennessee to Darlene Tonachio, former Tourism Director, and Frank Fox. Though born in Oak Ridge, Megan grew up in nearby Rockwood, Tennessee. She’s the second child in the family and has an older sister. Megan Fox has Irish, Italian, French and Cherokee ancestry. When Megan was 10, her family moved to Florida. Her mom still lives there.

When she was a child Megan was grounded almost all the time and didn’t have many opportunities for doing crazy things. “She’d be punished for something silly, and she’d mess up again before her grounding period was over,” her mother recalls. “When I was 14, I thought I was the coolest kid in school because I told everyone the jokes in FHM,” Megan confessed in one of the interviews.

Anyway, when Megan was out of parents’ watchful eye she was open to adventures. In her interview for Blender June 2007 issue, Megan said that once she went to Bible camp. She was 11 that time. One night, she snuck out to meet the first boy she ever had a crush on. “Each cabin had two counselors, so it was really difficult. I had the balls, but he was too chickenshit. After a couple of hours, I snuck back into bed and went back to sleep, very disappointed.”

There’s also a rumor that when Megan Fox was 16 she and some friends went to a strip club in Lake Worth and she gave everyone a show by performing gyrations on the pole, though with her clothes on. When asked about it, her mom, 56, said she doubted Megan could do that while living with her family.

Megan started training in drama and dance when she was 5. She attended a dance class at the community center, and was involved in Kingston Elementary School’s chorus and the Kingston Clippers swim team. She started career as a model when she was 13 winning several awards at the 1999 American Modeling and Talent Convention in Hilton Head, South Carolina. Her first job was for Elite Pictures London where she was given her first opportunity to star in a movie.

Getting famous

Modeling provided Megan with great opportunities. With the awards she received at the 1999 American Modeling and Talent Convention she headed to LA to pursue her dream to become an actor. In 2001, Megan made her feature film debut in the Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen movie, Holiday in the Sun, where she played the spoiled, snobbish antagonist, Brianna Wallace.

For the next three years she didn’t have any more films to make and only starred in TV series, sit-coms and soap operas. In 2002 – 2003 she starred in 122 episodes of the low-key soap opera Ocean Ave as Ione Starr. In 2003 she also appeared in Season 2 episode 5 (Like a virgin) of the Amanda Bynes sitcom What I Like About You starring as Shannon.

From 2003 to 2004 Megan Fox landed roles in Two and a Half Men (Prudence on Season 1, episode 12, Camel Filters and Pheremones), The Help (Cassandra Ridgeway) and the comedy pilot News to Me. Also in 2004 Megan acted as Candace in ABC Family TV movie Crimes of Fashion and secured a spot on the Kelly Ripa-led sitcom Hope & Faith in which she portrayed Sydney Shanowski for the next two years. While shooting Hope & Faith, Fox spent most of her time in New York but often went back to LA, where she studies acting with her coach, Sharon Lane.

Her next big screen role was of Carla Santini in Walt Disney’s Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen (2004) alongside then-rising star Lindsay Lohan. Megan portrayed the most popular girl in the high school. Lindsay’s character was competing with Megan Fox’s over getting the leading role in the big school play Pygmalion and attracting attention of the band’s lead singer, both had a crush on. Megan gained mainstream recognition for the role.

As for the filming and her costars, Megan said she didn’t get along with Lindsay Lohan. “We were 16-year-old girls. I haven’t seen Lindsay since then, but I imagine she’s grown and become a different person. From what I’ve experienced, women aren’t good friends to one another,” she said adding that because she looked older than Lindsay, “she’d be nice to my face so I would buy her cigarettes. We got away with it every time.”

International success

Small and supporting roles helped Megan Fox acquire significant media attention. Megan had her first five-page spread in FHM’s November 2005 issue. She was named number 68 in FHM magazine’s “100 Sexiest Women in the World 2006”. And later in 2008 she was voted the Sexiest Woman in the World by FHM beating out Jessica Biel and Jessica Alba.

But it was only in 2007 that she woke up famous overnight. She was cast as Mikaela Banes, the lead female role in Michael Bay’s live-action film Transformers (2007). “Michael Bay’s name, if it’s attached to a script, you know it’s going to be a huge blockbuster released in the summer, with jets flying over at the premiere and all that kind of stuff. So, I knew it was going to be a huge movie,” the actress said on the film and the director. Transformers was based on the toy and cartoon saga of the same name. The film was released July 4th, 2007. The film was nominated for three Oscars in the following categories: Best Achievement in Sound, Best Achievement in Sound Editing and Best Achievement in Visual Effects, as well as for MTV Movie Awards in the category “Best Summer Movie You Haven’t Seen Yet” (2007). In the States the film earned over $70m during its opening weekend making $36.7m on the opening night. Thus, the movie was Best 4th of July opening ever.

In the movie Megan Fox played the love interest of Shia LaBeouf. “There are no big love scenes. At this point Shi and I have been dating for two years so we’re at the bickering stage, like an old married couple,” she said later about him adding that she considers him to be one of her favorite people ever. When asked about her character, Megan said that though in the film, she was an Optimus Prime girl in real life, she would go with Megatron. “I’m always forced to behave and be nice to people, so being bad is very appealing. Everybody longs for the day when they could be a real asshole if they felt like it.”

Soon after the release of the flick it was reported that Megan had signed on for two more Transformer sequels.

In 2007 she graced July 2007 Maxim issue and the September 2007 issue of Arena. Also in June 2007 she was cast for How to Lose Friends & Alienate People, starring alongside Jeff Bridges, Simon Pegg, Kirsten Dunst and Gillian Anderson. The film is based on Toby Young’s memoir of the same name and documents his five years working at Conde Nast Publications’ Vanity Fair as a contributing editor. Fox portrays a young Hollywood starlet getting her first taste of fame.

Simon Pegg says Megan Fox is the “most beautiful geek” he has ever met stating he was surprised to find out she was as much of a nerd as he is. “She’s really sharp and actually a bit of a geek. Queen of the geeks – the most beautiful geek I’ve ever met. Megan is perplexingly beautiful. She walks into a room and your eyes go out of focus,” he confessed.

How to Lose Friends & Alienate People opened October 3, 2008.

Among the latest films starring Megan Fox are Whore that opened October 20, 2008 and Jennifer’s Body that’s to be released on September 18, 2009. Whore tells about a group of young Hollywood hopefuls, who find that in order to succeed in the industry, they must give up a lot more than they bargained for. Megan Fox costars alongside Rumer Willis and Ron Jeremy.

Diablo Cody’s Jennifer's body features Fox as Jennifer Check, a newly possessed cheerleader who turns into a killer who specializes in offing her male classmates. The film has already caught media attention due to nude and love scenes with Megan Fox. “It’s always awkward and it’s never fun. It was hard not to just laugh hysterically and endlessly,” Megan said of making love scenes for the film.

”In order to live in this new state of undead, she has to feed on human flesh,” Fox told EW about her character Jennifer. ”So she takes revenge on men who she secretly hated her whole life anyway…. I’ve always hated boys, so I identified with that very easily.”

Presently Megan is filming the second part of the Transformers sequel, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. The filming began June 2, 2008 and the film is expected to hit theatres in summer 2009. For her role in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, the movie’s director Michael Bay has reportedly ordered the actress to gain 10 lbs stating that he “does not like skinny girls.”

Megan Fox said she was “genuinely terrified” by the experience she had while filming. “It makes you run fast because you are genuinely terrified. And you still feel blanks - with that many guns going off, you never really know,” she said in one of the interviews in January 2009.

In early March 2009 it was reported that the 22-year-old actress is set to star in the Western-based action flick Jonah Hex opposite Josh Brolin and John Malkovich.
Fox will play Leila, a gun-wielding beauty and love interest of Hex (Brolin).

She’s also attached to star in the comic book-based underwater adventure Fathom, the story that follows a young woman named Aspen who learns she is a member of a race of aquatic humanoids who possess the ability to control water.

In April 2009 it was reported Megan Fox had been tapped to play one half of a married couple that is forced to smuggle drugs in the upcoming thriller The Crossing. Megan’s character and her husband are carjacked while on vacation in Mexico and with her husband kidnapped her only way to free him is to agree to smuggle drugs across the border. The thriller is set to start filming in July 2009.

Besides doing and promoting movies Megan Fox often graces sexiest magazine covers and presents readers with sultry spreads. Among the latest are her sizzling covers for Maxim and GQ October 2008 issues. In June 2009 she covered Esquire and Elle. For the first time in the Esquire’s history, the cover shoot was captured using a video camera. A RedONE video cam captured Megan at four times the resolution of hi-def images, as shot by photographer-director Greg Williams.

At the GQ men of the year party on November 18, 2008 Megan was given the title “Obsession by GQ,” and was the only female to make the magazine’s annual list of winners.

In February 2009 MSN Movie fans named Megan the sexiest sci-fi babe.

Personal life: Revealing it all

While some other celebs try to keep their private life away from cameras and paparazzi Megan Fox doesn’t seem to care somebody’s watching her. She’s open enough to speak up about her sex and love life. She makes no secret of her desires and of her love experiments. However, while living with her parents, Megan was not allowed to date anyone. She only did it after she moved out. “I have the libido of a 15-year-old boy. My sex drive is so high. I’d rather have sex with Brian all the time than leave the house. He doesn’t mind,” Megan revealed in her interview for Maxim.

“I’ve lived the life of a 35-year-old since I was 18. I’m so suspicious of boys-slash-men. I just don’t like them or trust them,” she noted in her interview for Elle June 2009 issue.

In November 2006 Megan announced her engagement to Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles actor Brian Austin Green. They’ve been an item since 2004. Presently they reside in LA together. “I like him. He’s a little bit older, but that brings Megan some stability,” Megan’s mom said about her daughter’s fiancé.

“He’s the one person,” Megan told Elle in June 2009. “He’s a man. He has an ego. He went through this already, and he doesn’t want it back - it was horrible. So he has sympathy. He’s the one person that I know that if I’m struggling and everything’s getting crazy, I can call.”

“It’s so odd. I like the bad-boy types. Generally the guy I’m attracted to is the guy in the club with all the tattoos and nail polish. He’s usually the lead singer in a punk band and plays guitar. But my serious boyfriends are relatively clean-cut, nice guys,” Megan Fox said once. She also confesses she’s not the one to be easy to deal with. “I’m horrible to live with. I don’t clean. My clothes end up wherever I take them off. I forget to flush the toilet. Friends will tell me, “Megan, you totally pinched a loaf in my toilet and didn’t flush.”

The 22-year-old actress doesn’t hide her zest for sex with her boyfriend. “I really enjoy having sex, and that’s offensive to some people. Women are the quickest to call other women sluts, which I think is sad. I haven’t met a lot of men who have said, ‘You like having sex? What a dirty whore you are.’ That’s because they wish their wives or girlfriends would have more sex with them.” Ms. Fox stated. “I’m young and have a lot of hormones – I’m always in the mood [for sex]! But I like sex with one person when I’m in a relationship. Sex with random people who I’ve met at clubs is not really my thing.”

At GQ Men of the Year party on November 18, 2008 the couple reveled their nuptial plans, saying they only wanted to invite a few people to teh ceremony and make it a very hush hush affair that the media would only learn about it “the week after.”

“She always looks hot. I stand next to her and it’s like beauty and the beast,” Brian confessed. “I like to see her in the morning. I like to see her at home. It doesn’t matter whether you put a bunch of makeup on her or not.”

“I’m not a ’sexy’ ‘beautiful’ woman. It takes a lot of work to make me look like a girl,” Megan responds.

“If you know how to take control of [being a sex symbol], then it can be powerful. But I have no idea how to handle it yet, how to deal with it.” Megan told Esquire’s June 2009 issue. “I’m just really confident sexually, and I think that sort of oozes out of my pores. It’s just there. It’s something I don’t have to turn on.”

In February 2009 it was reported that after five years together the couple called off their engagement deciding to focus on their careers. “The relationship had run its course,” an insider told UsWeekly. “It’s completely amicable, and they are remaining friends.”

“I feel like I need to set my career and do a movie other than Transformers,” Megan Fox said. “Then I’ll explore family.” “I’m not going to be married — I’m not the marrying type. And I know your next question is going to be — ‘Why are you engaged if you’re not the marrying type?’ I am impulsive and I love my boyfriend, but I have no plans of getting married any time soon,” She told Extra.

However, since their split the couple have often been seen together, and in late March 2009 they were spotted what it seemd to be househunting in LA. “Megan wanted great ocean views because she loves the beach and spotting dolphins. And they said they need several bedrooms and lots of privacy,” a source reported. “She wasn’t wearing her engagement ring, but they were quite affectionate. They seemed totally in sync!”

Being really hot and apparently insatiable, Megan just has to have some secret passions. One of them, as it has been recently reported, is girls. In her revealing interview for GQ October issue Megan confessed she had a fling with a female stripper at the age of 18. “Well, that year my boyfriend broke up with me, and I decided — oh man, sorry, mommy! — that I was in love with this girl that worked at the (L.A. mammary Mecca) Body Shop. I decided that I was going to get her to love me back, and I went out of my way to create a relationship with this girl, a stripper named Nikita.”

The star also said she wishes to have a steamy girlie session with Angelina Jolie calling her “a superhuman goddess”, adding she also lusts after former porn queen Jenna Jameson.

“I just think that all humans are born with the ability to be attracted to both sexes. I mean, I could see myself in a relationship with a girl – (OC star) Olivia Wilde is so sexy she makes me want to strangle a mountain ox with my bare hands. She’s mesmerizing. And lately I’ve been obsessed with Jenna Jameson. Oh boy,” Megan said.

As to famous resemblance to Angelina Jolie, Fox said: “I guess I see a resemblance between us two, but I want to become my own person.” The two actresses do have a lot in common, pretty faces, beautiful eyes and sexy and sweet lips men dream to kiss, they both have it all. Another thing that brings them together is their love of tattoos. Megan calls her love of tattoos an obsession, she says once you start doing them you can’t stop it. So we never know when Fox gets a new picture on her body.

Megan Fox has nine tattoos, including a poem on her ribcage reading “there once was a little girl who never knew love until a boy broke her HEART”, a symbol for strength on her neck, Brian Green’s name on her hip, a bull’s eye on her lower back and a line from Shakespeare’s play King Lear: “We will all laugh at gilded butterflies” on her right shoulder. There’s also a picture of Marilyn Monroe’s face on her right arm. “I just had an incredible amount of empathy for her my whole life. I cry when I see her on camera,” she said about this tattoo. “People who don’t like me talk about it as though I’m trash because I have tattoos. I find that insane because it’s 2008, not the 1950s. Tattoos aren’t limited to sailors. It’s a form of art I find beautiful. I love it.”

Megan Fox is young but she’s already earned the following honors: she was number 16 in Maxim’s “Hot 100 2008” and No. 2 in “Hot 100 2009″; number 12 ranking on AskMen.com’s Top 99 in 2008 and number 2 in 2009. In 2007 she was ranked number 73 AskMen.com’s Most Desirable Women, and also ranked number 17 on “Future Stars of Tomorrow” list. Megan Fox also tops AOL's hottest hollywood stars aged till 25 years beating out Emma Watson (# 3), Keira Knightley (# 7) and Scarlett Johansson (# 25).

“You can’t be [a sex symbol] 24 hours a day. I can’t be a professional celebrity or a professional sexpot. I can’t do that to myself,” Megan confessed to Empire Magazine. “I just want to work and make the right choices, and study and develop as an actress. I don’t want to be on the cover of every magazine that exists. I want to try not to do that. It’s my job to show people something different.”

So what’s her secret of beauty and sex appeal? “The sun and the sea – things that suit me. I consider staying under the sun is much more useful, than most people think. For example, when I start going on a beach and bathing in salty sea water, my skin condition improves considerably,” She said. As to her figure, the secret is simply apple vinegar. “Only water and apple vinegar. It allows cleaning organism completely. I do not love diets and exercises – I am too lazy,” Fox added.

It might seem surprising but Megan Fox hates attending celebrity parties. She says she would much rather stay at home and relax than go to clubs and get drunk like some of her party girl peers. “I avoid that scene completely. I don’t do a lot of big parties – it just doesn’t appeal to me at all. I see what it does to people. I don’t like going to clubs because I’m not looking to hook up with somebody, so why am I going to go and dance around tables if that’s not what I’m looking for? I guess I’m boring. There’s nothing else to write about me because I don’t go to clubs or do drugs or fall out of cars drunk.”
