Why is megan fox famous

Fox's most visible recent work: a short-lived Travel Channel series about ancient cultures called Legends of the Lost. So what happened to the actress for whom the Maxim "Hot " list was basically created? Here are some reasons why she may have fallen off the A-list. When most people verbally attack their boss and it gets back to them, they might get reprimanded or fired.

When a movie star criticizes their high-powered director, it just might get them blacklisted throughout Hollywood.

In the middle of what was supposed to be a fluff piece for the British magazine Wonderland in , Fox issued a controversial reply to a question about working with Michael Bay. Then Fox kept talking. Fox also disparaged the Transformers franchise in Entertainment Weekly.

People are well aware that this is not a movie about acting. Fox signed up to reprise her role of Mikaela Banes for the third Transformers movie, Dark of the Moon, and even attended some rehearsals. That's all in spite of her comparing director Michael Bay to Hitler, and he was apparently willing to let bygones be bygones.

But his boss — producer Steven Spielberg — couldn't. After he directed the film Schindler's List, he founded the Survivors of the Shoah Visual History Foundation to combat bigotry and keep alive the stories of Holocaust survivors. It's maybe not surprising, then, if he doesn't take such talk lightly. You gotta stay focused. And you know, the Hitler thing. Steven said, 'Fire her right now. Spielberg denied this version of the events, and Fox's reps told People , "It was her decision not to return.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley eventually got the gig. Megan Fox's comments about Michael Bay and subsequent angering of Steven Spielberg earned her a reputation that she was "difficult.

While she probably didn't express herself in the most thoughtful way, Fox bore the brunt of the backlash from her remarks about the guy who directed her in two star-making Transformers movies.

But it wasn't just Bay and Spielberg who took issue with Fox's attitude toward the franchise that made her a known entity. Transformers: Dark of the Moon screenwriter Ehren Kruger told GQ in that while Fox showed up for the film's early rehearsals, "she seemed like an actress who didn't want to be a part of it. She was saying she wanted to, but she wasn't acting like it. After Fox's famous "Hitler comments," three crew members who'd worked on Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen released a savage statement trashing an actress they called "Ms.

Sourpants," "dumb-as-a-rock," and an actress who would likely wind up "a porn star in the future. Megan Fox's follow-up to Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen seemed like a sure bet on paper. Penned by freshly Oscar-minted Juno screenwriter Diablo Cody, directed by up-and-coming filmmaker Karyn Kusama Aeon Flux, Girlfight , and costarring rising Mean Girls and Chloe star Amanda Seyfried, Jennifer's Body was a wry, satirical high school-based horror comedy with feminist themes.

All that didn't quite mesh with the film's marketing campaign — primarily images of popular sex symbol Fox in skimpy cheerleading and schoolgirl uniforms.

Fox isn't totally to blame for the film's failure — Roger Ebert gave her credit for "playing the role straight" of a superficial cheerleader who kills her male classmates during a demonic possession — but she certainly endured the blame.

Producers likely interpreted its lackluster commercial showing to the presence of Fox, implying that Fox couldn't open a movie unless her costar was a CGI robot. As proof of how much easier men have it in Hollywood than women, star Josh Brolin has continued to work steadily in movies — even comic book-related movies like Deadpool 2 and Avengers: Endgame.

But for Fox, the film's failure was as damaging to her big-screen career as her character's corset was to her internal organs. I developed a fear of flying when I turned All of a sudden I got afraid to get on airplanes. I had to come up with ways to deal with it," she explained on an episode of TBS' " Conan. The actress also revealed one of her less common fears during a interview with Wonderland Magazine.

Anything laminated is fine. Actual dry a-- paper I can't touch. It gives me chillbumps. It's like nails on a chalkboard. Or like tissue paper. People can't touch me with dry things like that. I get really upset. It's something about how dry it is that I can't touch it. Those are my main fears," she said. After telling Wonderland Magazine that she's read nearly every book written about Marilyn Monroe's life, she explained that she does worry she may have a similar fate as the late actress, who had emotional struggles.

Or that I have bouts of mild schizophrenia. I definitely have some kind of mental problem and I haven't pinpointed what it is. I feel like I could easily go in that direction and I need to know everything there is to know about it because I feel like it'll keep it from happening to me," Fox explained. The following year, she also told Cosmopolitan that she's confident in her personality but said that she's "completely, hysterically insecure," "self-loathing," "introverted," and "neurotic" about her physical appearance.

The actress told Esquire that she began speaking in tongues at church when she was around 8 years old. I've seen people be healed. Even now, in the church I go to, during Praise and Worship I could feel that I was maybe getting ready to speak in tongues, and I'd have to shut it off because I don't know what that church would do if I started screaming out in tongues in the back.

The actress went on to describe speaking in tongues as "a lot of energy coming through the top of your head. And you just start speaking, but you're not thinking because you have no idea what you're saying. Words are coming out of your mouth, and you can't control it. The idea is that it's a language that only God understands. It's the language that's spoken in heaven.

It's called 'getting the Holy Ghost,'" she said. And I know what you're thinking, 'Then why would I want to go to church and speak in tongues? I was raised to believe that you're safe in God's hands. But I don't feel safe with myself," she explained. During a appearance on " The Ellen DeGeneres Show ," Fox spoke about her job before she caught her break in the acting world. Once a week, usually on Fridays, someone had to dress up as a fruit, a piece of fruit and go out and stand by the highway," she said.

She had a large image of the late bombshell's face on her forearm before deciding to get it removed. It's like when you visualize something for your future. I didn't want to visualize something so negative," she told Esquire in Fox added, "She wasn't powerful at the time. She was sort of like Lindsay [Lohan]. She was an actress who wasn't reliable, who almost wasn't insurable She had all the potential in the world, and it was squandered.

I'm not interested in following in those footsteps. During a interview with GQ , she recalled her relationship with a woman named Nikita. 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," she explained. Fox continued, "I was there all the time—I would go there by myself.

I bought her things—perfume, body spray, girlie stuff. I turned into a weird middle-aged married man. I felt like I had this need to save Nikita. Critics, especially those who were fans of the first film, thought "Bad Boys II" was over the top and lacking in plot.
