Megan Fox Compares Michael Bay to Napolean

September 8, 2009 By Michael Hickerson 13 Comments

Actress Megan Fox was discovered by many movie-goers in her role in both “Transformers” films.

In both films, Fox was directed by noted action director, Michael Bay.  And while Fox admitted this summer that the films weren’t exactly stretching her depth as an actor, she seemed to be positive about the working experience.

Now comes an interview by Fox in which the actress talks about what she didn’t like about working on the summer popcorn thrillers.

“God, I really wish I could go loose on this one,” she tells Wonderland Magazine. “He’s like Napoleon and he wants to create this insane, infamous mad-man reputation. He wants to be like Hitler on his sets, and he is. So he’s a nightmare to work for but when you get him away from set, and he’s not in director mode, I kind of really enjoy his personality because he’s so awkward, so hopelessly awkward. He has no social skills at all. And it’s endearing to watch him. He’s vulnerable and fragile in real life and then on set he’s a tyrant. Shia and I almost die when we make a Transformers movie. He has you do some really insane things that insurance would never let you do.”

    I suppose she won’t be doing Transformers 3.

    If she was under contract to do 3 Transformers movies, I’m sure Michael Bay will make sure she honors the deal but cut her part to as little as possible or invent ways to tell her she’s not showing the proper emotion when he has her killed off in the script.

    I was quite impressed that she didn’t he was a little chocolate, a little vanilla, and all fruity.

    Um, Megan, HE is the one with no social skills?

    I suppose if I were a director I now know the one actress on the bottom of my list.

    With every interview she does, I feel more and more vindicated about not liking her.

    Uh-huh. Whatever gets you to sleep at night Buddy! 😉

    They really shouldn’t let her talk…. Ever….

    Arkle, sweetie, we know why you don’t like Megan. She doesn’t have a penis. 🙂

    Mitch, let’s follow your logic here.

    My taste in WOMEN is different from yours, ergo I must be gay?

    Let me guess; Republican?

    Just because we don’t buy into the whole white trash, slutty, vapid waste of flesh that is Meghan Fox doesn’t mean we are gay. I can appreciate the actually beautiful women of Sci-Fi (Jewel Staite, Amanda Tapping, Gina Torres, Morena Baccarin, Milla Jovovich and many others) and just pretend that Meghan Fox doesn’t exist. I like Transformers but I am not watching it because of Meghan Fox. I will never watch a movie just because Meghan Fox is in it and based on her recent actions may intentionally stay away.

    I hate to say it buy I’m with Arkle on this one. If all she has to offer is eye candy (and not a lot at that) then why would anyone put her on such a high pedestal. Ok, she’s attractive but she is nowhere near the hottest actress let alone one of the hottest women in the world (insert International Sexy Ladies Show as just one example). For all of those Megan Fox fantatics, I encourage you to take a trip to Europe (Netherlands, Rome, and Prague were enough for me) where you won’t be surrounded by just attractive women but smokin’ hot women that actually might know more about the world around them than about themselves.

    Very well put Matt. very well put.

    I am one more insulting VM away to start a thread at the Forums called “Women Who I Think’re Hotter Than Megan Fox.”

    Oh, a P.S. to that caller from Berlin; Ferraris are for guys who’re insecure about their penis size.
