After having a successful career as a model, Fox launched her acting career in 2001, in which she played a supporting role as Brianna Wallace in Holiday in the Sun, starring opposite Mary Kate Olsen and Ashley Olsen. Fox then guest starred in various television series, including What I Like About You, Two and a Half Men, The Help, Ocean Ave. and having a recurring role on Hope and Faith.

In 2004, Fox went on to have a film career starring opposite Lindsay Lohan in Confessions Of A Teenage Drama Queen. Her other films include Crimes Of Fashion (2004, TV), How to Lose Friends & Alienate People (2008) and Whore (2008). Fox's breakout role was playing Mikaela Banes, Shia LaBeouf's character's love interest in the 2007 blockbuster film Transformers, a role for which Fox was nominated for and won various Teen Choice Awards.[1] She appeared in the sequel, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. Her upcoming films include Jennifer's Body,[2] Jonah Hex, and The Crossing.[3][4][5]

Early life

Fox was born in Oak Ridge, Tennessee,[6] to Darlene Tonachio, former Roane County, Tennessee Tourism Director,[6][7] and Franklin Foxx.[8] Fox's father dropped an "x" from his surname. Fox has one older sister.[9] Fox's parents divorced when she was young and she and her sister were raised by her mother and her stepfather.[10][11][10] Fox said of her mother and her stepfather that they "were really strict" and Fox said of her childhood that "I was grounded for all of my childhood. Not most — all” and Fox said that “I wasn’t doing anything particularly crazy,” and that “I just never appreciated authority figures preaching to me.”[10] Fox is of Irish, French and Native American ancestry.[12] Fox grew up in nearby Rockwood, Tennessee and she began her training in drama and dance at age five, in Kingston, Tennessee.[8] She attended a dance class at the community center there and was involved in Kingston Elementary School's chorus and the Kingston Clippers swim team. At 10-years-old, after moving to St. Petersburg, Florida, Fox continued her training. She attended Morningside Academy, a private Christian school, in Port St. Lucie, during her middle school years and finished her high school education at St. Lucie West Centennial High School, in Port St. Lucie, though when Fox was 17 she tested out of school via correspondence from St. Lucie West Centennial High School.[6][13][14]

Fox said that in middle school, she was bullied and picked on and that she ate lunch in the bathroom to avoid being "pelted with ketchup packets". Fox said that the problem was not her looks, but that “[she had] always gotten along better with boys,” and that “rubbed some people the wrong way.”[15] Fox also said of high school that "but I was not, ever for a second, popular — I mean, never" and that "everyone hated me, and I was a total outcast, my friends were always guys, I have a very aggressive personality, and girls didn’t like me for that. I’ve had only one great girlfriend my whole life."[16] Fox also said of school that "I just hated school, period. I wasn’t interested and I wasn’t getting anything from it. I’ve never been a big believer in formal education and I always knew what I wanted to do, which was be an actress — the education I was getting seemed irrelevant. So, I was sort of checked out on that part of it."[16] Fox said of her living condition as a teenager that "My mom lived with me until I started making enough money to support myself,” and that “I was asking her to leave the entire time. I’d been ready to move out since I was, like, 14.”[10]

Career

Early work

At 16, Fox made her acting debut in the 2001 film Holiday in the Sun, as the spoiled heiress Brianna Wallace and rival of Alex Stewart (Ashley Olsen). The film was released Direct-to-DVD on November 20, 2001. She made her television debut on the television series Ocean Ave. as Ione Star.

Fox at the premiere of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen in Paris

Fox reprised her role as Mikaela Banes in the Transformers sequel, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. There was some controversy surrounding Fox's appearance while filming the sequel of Transformers when Michael Bay, the movie's director, ordered the actress to gain 10 pounds.[24] During interviews promoting the film in June 2009, Fox was asked how she would stop Megatron from demolishing the world. She replied, "I'd make a deal with him and instead of the entire planet, can you just take out all of the white trash, hillbilly, anti-gay, super bible-beating people in Middle America?"[25][26][27] This response was panned by the conservative NewsBusters, writing that "While Fox may be a star on the big screen, her words certainly don’t make her shine."[28] The Naples Daily News was also highly critical of her comments.[29] Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen premiered on June 8, 2009 in Tokyo, Japan.[30] After its UK release on June 19, 2009, the film was released in regular and IMAX theaters in the United States on June 24.[31]

In addition to Seyfried, Fox will star alongside Adam Brody in the Academy Award-winning screenwriter Diablo Cody's second feature film.

Fox has often been compared to actress, Angelina Jolie by the media dubbing her as an "Angelina clone", "Angelina 2.0" and "Angelina Jr." among others.[50][51][52][53][54][55][56] Fox has been compared to Jolie because they each have a "tattoo collection", and status as a "built in sex-symbol".[57][58][59]

Fox said of the comparisons that "I think it’s a lack of creativity on the media’s part. Because I have tattoos and dark hair and I was in an action movie? That’s as far as the similarities extend. I’m not the next anyone."[57] Fox was also said to have been replacing Jolie in the next Lara Croft film, but Fox turned down the role, saying "There have been a lot of films I've had to pass on because I don't want people thinking I'm trying to emulate her."[60][61][62] Fox said of meeting Jolie that "I haven't had the opportunity to meet her and I try to avoid that because I'm afraid," and "She's a powerful person and I bet she would eat me alive."[60][63] Fox remarked, "I'm sure she has no idea who I am. But if I were her, I'd be like, 'Who the fuck is this little bullshit brat who was in Transformers that's going to be the next me?' I don't want to meet her. I'd be embarrassed."[57][64]

Tattoos

Fox has eight known tattoos,[65] including her fiancé's name "Brian" on her lower hip and a picture of Marilyn Monroe's face on her right forearm.[66] Fox also has another tattoo on her right shoulder that reads, "We will all laugh at gilded butterflies" a line adapted from William Shakespeare's play King Lear, a yin and yang tattoo on her left inner wrist, a poem on her left side rib cage that reads "there once was a little girl who never knew love until a boy broke her HEART," and a Chinese word for strength on her neck.[citation needed] Fox also has a crescent moon overlapping a five pointed star on the inner aspect of her lower leg above her right ankle. This tattoo is the one known colored tattoo that Fox has.[67]

Fox said she has a Marilyn Monroe tattoo because "She was one of the first people I saw on television, like, literally moments after I was born. Every time I heard her voice growing up I always would cry. I wouldn't know why when I was younger but had my own theories. I've just always empathized with her."[68] Fox also said of that tattoo that "I know a lot about her but I empathized with her before I knew any of those things so that’s why I was driven to actually ink it on my arm. It was between her and Kurt Cobain and I went with her."[65] Fox also said on her yin/yang tattoo that "The guy was smoking weed while he tattooed me and he didn't do it correctly. Now it's nothing and I'm gonna get it removed. I was told he was a really amazing tattoo artist but he wasn't on his game that night. He was distracted." However, Fox still has that tattoo as of May 2009.[68] Fox has said of her tattoos that "Every time I get a tattoo, it's a little 'fuck you' to anyone who tells me not to."[69]

Personal life

Megan Fox at Spike TV's 2007 Scream Awards

Fox has been involved with actor Brian Austin Green of Beverly Hills, 90210 and Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles fame since 2004, having first met on the set of Fox's show Hope & Faith.[70][71] It was reported that the couple had ended their relationship in July 2008[72][73] and in February 2009;[74][75] however, Fox and Green both confirmed on both occasions that the two are still in a relationship.[70][76] On June 15, 2009, Fox confirmed that she is single again.[77]

Fox has openly stated that she's taken drugs saying that, "I've done drugs, and that's how I know I don't like them.", saying that she'd "tried several things" in order to "make an informed decision" but that she "didn't enjoy anything other than marijuana.". Fox also said that "Cocaine is back with a vengeance ... Celebrities aren't trying to hide it, except when people have camera phones," and commenting that "I know about five people who aren't on drugs today, and I'm one of them."[78][79][80] Fox has also openly stated that she supports the legalization of marijuana, saying "I don't even think of it as a drug -- it should be legalized," and continuing with "When they do, I'll be the first person in line to buy my pack of joints," and "I can't tell you how much bullshit I've been through because I will openly say that I smoke weed. People look at it like it's this crazy, hippy, fucked-up thing to do. And it's not. I hope they legalize it."[81][82][83][84][85]

In a frank interview with GQ Magazine, Fox claimed that she once fell in love and sought to establish a relationship with a female stripper when she was 18 years old. Fox used the experience to illustrate her belief that, "all humans are born with the ability to be attracted to both sexes."[86] On May 14, 2009 Fox stated that she is bisexual, saying "I have no question in my mind about being bisexual."[87]

On June 15, 2009, at the premiere of the film Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, she revealed to "have a crush" on British singer Cheryl Cole and to "love her tattoos". [88]

Fox has recently stated that she is romantically interested in Korean pop singer Rain.[89][90] On June 10. 2009, Megan Fox was on an Australian Radio Show titled "The Kyle and Jackie O Show" and was asked who she wanted to date next. Fox responded by saying, "There's this Korean Justin Timberlake named Rain. And I'm really on this situation right now, I'm trying to fix this up."[91]
