From what I remember, early 2000s Megan Fox was a very beautiful person who got a lot of shit for complaining about a director who once had her wash a car in a bikini for an audition (and later retracting those complaints) and for possibly getting Botox. In a new InStyle profile, Fox, who has been out of the limelight for quite some time outside of her high-profile romance with Machine Gun Kelly, is not so much over the shitty treatment she’s received in the past as she is ready to talk about it:
“I was brought out and stoned and murdered at one point,” [Fox says about the past decade]. “And then suddenly everybody’s like, ‘Wait a second. We shouldn’t have done that. Let’s bring her back.’”
She’s also irritated that male critics didn’t give the (very good) film Jennifer’s Body a fair shake because they didn’t know what to do with two girls kissing if the kiss was not specifically meant to appeal to their specific boners:
“I think the men [the studio] tried to market to were confused…It’s not like that [kissing] scene was even particularly sexual for men. It was more so for any woman who’s ever thought, ‘I really love my best friend, and I don’t necessarily know what that means, but I’m going to figure it out.’”
She’s also rewatched Jonah Hex, decided it wasn’t that bad, and would now like a part in a Marvel movie, but not an awards season prestige film:
“People hate on you as an actor for that because it doesn’t get you the big awards. I don’t give a fuck. Give me an MTV award. I don’t need a fucking BAFTA.”
The whole interview is worth reading, but know going in that Machine Gun Kelly, who looks at Fox and says “Wow” a lot apparently, is actually named Colson because I was very confused.
