Megan Fox Interview

Megan Fox has hit back at claims that she is an ”idiot or air-head” for embracing her sexuality.

The ‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ actress has hit back at the critics who have branded her an ”idiot or air-head” just because she is confident with her body.

Megan – who has been in an relationship with her husband Brian Austin Green since 2004 – told the Mail: ”You are made to feel that if you embrace your sexuality, you are an idiot or an air-head, or you have to make yourself seem more masculine. Why would you ever want to do that? Women are beautiful, but we are also intelligent – and some of us are very strong.

”People insist on seeing me as a wild child, a bad girl, a naughty girl and I don’t know why. Because my life is the exact opposite.

”People have a hard time looking at me, knowing that I accept my sexuality and then understanding that I’m not promiscuous – they just can’t put that idea together. But I have been with Brian for ten years.”

Megan, your character in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is continually thwarted by her looks. Do you relate to that?

Megan: I don’t feel like being beautiful is a hindrance when you are an actress. I feel like it’s probably something that’s helpful. But in terms of being critically acclaimed, that has to come from me giving a worthy performance. That lies within myself — it’s not someone else’s fault.

What about her fearlessness?

Megan: I definitely relate to that. I feel like I am not afraid to say what needs to be said, or do what I need to do, if I believe in something. If I have a cause I will fight for it. I am fearless that way — sometimes, in the past, to a fault.

We also live in an age where intimate photos can be stolen off the i-Cloud. Given the dangers, why would celebrities take nude photographs of themselves in the first place?

Megan: I don’t keep anything like that on i-Cloud for that very purpose. That is my worst nightmare. I don’t think that it’s strange — especially within a relationship. But the only images I have are of being pregnant, of my belly growing. That’s about as undressed as it gets.

You found out you were pregnant after you started filming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Did that limit what you could do?

Megan: It did hold me back a little bit. I wanted to be able to do as much as possible — it always looks better if you can have your face in the stunt.

Megan: Towards the end, there wire stunts I couldn’t do.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is produced by Michael Bay, who, in 2007 plucked Fox from the obscurity of daytime soaps by casting her as the love interest in Transformers. Their subsequent relationship has been fractious to say the least, and it was widely assumed they would never work together again.

Ninja Turtles is doing well – its global box office already stands north of $320million – and will almost certainly revive Fox’s career
