Mini Biography

Megan Fox was born May 16, 1986 in Tennessee. She has one older sister. Megan began her

training in drama and dance at the age of 5 and, at the age of 10, moved to Florida where she

continued her training and finished school. She now lives in Los Angeles. Megan began acting and

modeling at the age of 13 after winning several awards at the 1999 American Modeling and

Talent Convention in Hilton Head, South Carolina. Megan made her film debut as "Brianna

Wallace" in the Mary-Kate Olsen and Ashley Olsen movie, Holiday in the Sun (2001)

A slender, olive-skinned actress whose elegant beauty is somewhat offset by a collection of vivid

tattoos (including a portrait of Marilyn Monroe on her right forearm and the King Lear quote

"We all laugh at gilded butterflies" on her right shoulder blade), Megan Fox knew she wanted to

be an actress from age three, and never once considered another line of work. A native of

Memphis, TN, Fox began taking dance lessons when she was five years old and continued

perfecting her graceful movements even after her family relocated to Florida five years later. At

13, the aspiring starlet enrolled in modeling and acting classes. It didn't take long for all of Fox's

hard work to pay off, with a role in the 2001 Olsen twins comedy Holiday in the Sun marking the

ambitious actress' official screen debut. Over the course of the next few years, Fox became a

frequent fixture on television thanks to roles on What I Like About You, Two and a Half Men,

and Hope & Faith. In 2004, Fox would torment a fledgling Lindsay Lohan in Confessions of a

Teenage Drama Queen, though it was Fox's performance as a human caught in the middle of an

epic robot battle that would truly prove her calling card to Hollywood. Cast as the love interest of

Shia LaBeouf in Michael Bay's 2007 blockbuster Transformers, Fox turned more than a few

heads while fighting for the future of the human race. In 2008, Fox could be spotted opposite

Kirsten Dunst, Simon Pegg, Jeff Bridges, and Gillian Anderson in the Robert B. Weide-directed

comedy How to Lose Friends and Alienate People. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Personal Quotes

Michael Bay's name, if it's attached to a script, you know it's going to be a huge blockbuster

released in the summer, with jets flying over at the premiere and all that kind of stuff. So, I

knew it was going to be a huge movie.- On working with Michael Bay

[on George Clooney] He's sarcastic, and he has a different girlfriend constantly. It's considered

charismatic. He's like this James Bond, sexy dude. The older he gets, the better he gets. It's a

double standard. To be outspoken, or different at all, is a problem for women. As soon as you

curse or, God forbid, make some sort of sexual reference that's a joke, you're labeled a party girl.

They don't do that with men, so I feel it would be a lot easier.

[Director Michael Bay] doesn't like really skinny actresses. He's been traumatized by them for

some reason in the past. So I always try to put on eight to ten pounds before [filming], and I'm

always the fattest I've ever been when making a Transformers (2007) movie.

[on her Marilyn Monroe tattoo] I committed to having her face on my arm for the rest of my life,

so I have to be a pretty big fan.

I don't want to have to go on talk shows and pull out every single Sat word I've ever learned, to

prove, like, 'Take me seriously, I am intelligent, I can speak.' I don't want to have to do that. I

resent having to prove that I'm not a retard.

Wonder Woman is lame. She flies around in an invisible jet, but she's not invisible. I don't get it.

Olivia Wilde is so sexy she makes me want to strangle a mountain ox with my bare hands. She's

mesmerizing.
