Megan Fox opens up about body dysmorphia

In a new, joint interview with her boyfriend and “Midnight in the Switchgrass” costar, Machine Gun Kelly, Megan Fox reveals she suffers from body dysmorphic disorder.

“BDD” is mental health condition “in which a person is preoccupied with an imagined physical defect or a minor defect that others often cannot see.” That often leads those who suffer from the disorder to avoid social situations for fear they’ll be judged on the appearance they believe to be “ugly.”

Megan, 35, has opened up about “the work” she did to make peace with early criticism of her acting skills, saying she’d gotten to the point where she was “never leaving the house” and had to do a lot of spirituality reading and meditation “to make sense of” how she was perceived early on in her career. Was Megan Fox nude / naked scenes part of this?

Megan may have been criticized at that time because men found her beauty and intelligence “intimidating,” she points out that the way someone looks doesn’t necessarily tell us anything about them.

“We may look at somebody and think, ‘That person’s so beautiful. Their life must be so easy,'” she says. “They most likely don’t feel that way about themselves.'” Asked if that’s how she feels about herself privately, Megan replies, “Yeah, I have body dysmorphia. I have a lot of deep insecurities.”

Despite being known as one of the sexiest women on the planet, the actor highlighted how she came close to her “breaking point” after the success of her movie, Jennifer’s Body. Megan explained how, after the hit film was released in 2009, she felt consistently sexualised by the media and the public.

“It wasn’t just that movie, it was every day of my life, all the time, with every project I worked on and every producer I worked with,” she said, “It preceded a breaking point for me.”

Megan continued: “I think I had a genuine psychological breakdown. I didn’t want to be seen, I didn’t want to have to take a photo, do a magazine, walk a carpet, I didn’t want to be seen in public at all.”

On a wild summer’s night in Los Angeles, Machine Gun Kelly and Megan Fox explain their whirlwind courtship, from first meeting on set to their deepening spiritual connection, and how love has seared them together for life… through joint tattoos
