Childhood and youth of Megan Fox
Megan Denise Fox was born on May 16, 1986, in the small town of Oak Ridge, Tennessee (USA). The family was small – father, Franklin Fox, a parolee overseer, mother, Gloria, a housewife, and older sister Christie. Megan was hardly 3 years old when her parents filed for divorce and soon her mother remarried a man much older.
My Stepfather took Megan and Christie with her mother to Florida. Life is warm Florida turned out to be not so sunny for the sisters. The stepfather was very strict in raising Christy and Megan – they were forbidden to communicate with the opposite sex, invite guests and spend a lot of time with friends. Such a tyrannical upbringing had a negative impact on Megan’s psyche. Already in adolescence, the girl suffered from nervous breakdowns and uncontrolled attacks of aggression.
Due to such mental health problems, the future actress found it difficult to communicate with her peers. Classmates did not want to communicate with her, so most of Megan’s friends were boys. This also left its mark on the character and behavior of the actress.
Megan’s actions often became a cause of conflict – she stole from stores, behaved defiantly, and once even stole a car. In high school, classmates began to hate her because Megan was very popular among boys. Constant conflicts forced Megan to finish school as an external student and go on a free swim, earlier than expected.
Path to fame
At the age of 5, Megan first came to the theater studio. Despite a strict upbringing, her parents encouraged Megan’s act and dance. At the age of 13, the girl was noticed by a scout of one of the modeling agencies who offered her a job as a model. The parents approved this proposal. At the same time, the aspiring model continued to study in the drama club.
At the age of 15, Megan moved to Los Angeles with her mother. There, the girl dreams of realizing herself as a movie actress and goes to all possible auditions. Success was not long in coming. In 2001, Meghan landed her first role in Sunny Vacation, where she co-starred with the Olsen sisters. The film itself was unsuccessful and was not even released, but with its help, Megan was able to make herself known.
In 2004, the young actress received one of the main roles in the movie Star of the Stage. At the same time, she starred in the TV series “Queen of the Screen.” These works became a serious impetus in the career of a young actress, and in 2007 a truly successful role came to her. The film “Transformers” made Megan popular.
The actress herself says that she got the role of Michaela Bays only because of her appearance. The success of the film was simply stunning – in a couple of days, the film grossed almost $ 71 million. After filming in Transformers, hundreds of offers rained down on Fox. In the same year, Megan was awarded MTV’s Breakthrough of the Year Award, and glossy magazines dreamed of getting her on the cover. Megan was even recognized as the sexiest woman on the planet.
In 2009, the actress starred in the film Jennifer’s Body, where she starred alongside Amanda Seyfried. Thriller with elements of comedy, the audience accepted with a bang. In the same year, the sequel “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” was released. For the sake of the role of the beauty Michaela, Megan gained 5 kg. And apparently not in vain. The picture again collected a lot of positive reviews and high fees.
Unfortunately, in the third film “Transformers” Megan Fox did not appear. She left the set with a big scandal. The actress accused director Michael Bay and producer Steven Spielberg of mocking the actors, and they, in turn, stated that they were tired of putting up with Megan’s constant antics.
After the scandalous departure, Megan did not agree to film roles for a long time. In 2010, she nevertheless appeared in Mitch Glaser’s film “Games of Passion”. Despite her rather defiant appearance, Megan appeared in the form of an innocent angel. Alas, the film did not do well at the box office.
During filming, Meghan starred in Rihanna and Eminem’s music video for “Love The Way You Lie”. Fans appreciated the work of the actress and made her appear more often in this way. The bright appearance of Megan Fox could not be overlooked in the fashion industry. In 2010, the Italian brand Emporio Armani invited her to be the face of their Spring/Summer 2010 collection.
Another iconic picture in the career of the actress was the film “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” in 2014. Fox played the role of journalist April O’Neil. Critics smashed the film, but the fans liked the film and it was decided to make a sequel. In 2016, Megan appeared in the continuation of the action.
During the filming of the second part of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the actress was offered a role in the sitcom New Girl. She needed to replace Zooey Deschanel, who went on maternity leave. Meghan fit into the comedy so well that her character Reagan stayed on the following season.
In one of her interviews, Megan stated that she would no longer act in explicit scenes. Firstly, this can negatively affect the psyche of her sons, and secondly, she wants the directors to pay attention to her talent, and not her sexuality, and give her the opportunity to try herself in serious roles.
Megan Fox’s personal life
The image of the stealer of hearts has nothing to do with Megan in real life. The actress has been in a relationship with her husband Brian Green since 2004. The couple dated for 6 years before legalizing their relationship in 2010. By the way, the spouses have a rather big age difference – 12 years.
2 years after the wedding, Megan gave birth to their first son, Noah Shannon. And a year later, in 2013, fans learned another good news – the couple was expecting their second child. The boy was born in February 2014 and was named Bodhi Ransom. Megan and Brian seemed like the perfect couple, and the news of the divorce in 2015 shocked everyone. The couple said that their marriage is full of disagreements and divorce is inevitable. But the relationship was saved by Megan’s third pregnancy. In 2016, the couple had another boy, Journey River.
Brian and Megan are often criticized by the public – their sons periodically appear in public in dresses, especially the eldest son Noah. Parents do not forbid the boy to wear clothes for girls, they believe that the child himself has the right to choose what to wear.
The unpredictable nature of the actress often put her in awkward situations, so a drug scandal appeared in the biography of the actress. Megan once said that she used drugs. And she had a chance to try almost all types of drugs. Moreover, the actress has repeatedly advocated the legalization of marijuana. Also on the body of the Hollywood beauty, there are several tattoos that she is proud of. Megan once said that she was ready to give up film roles, but not her tattoos.
The actress also admits that she has repeatedly resorted to facial plastic surgery. Megan changed the shape of her nose, greatly enlarged her lips, and removed Bish’s lumps. By the way, Fox is one of the few actresses who were lucky with facial plastic surgery.
