Megan Fox March Magazine Covers: “I Was Never The Pretty Girl”
February 24, 2012 by Hollywoodite
Megan Fox covers Angeleno Magazine and Miami Magazine March 2012 with basically the same shoot and interview. The covers and shoot are below along with interview quotes ascribed to both issues.
In her interview, Fox attempts to garner a little sympathy for being the quirky girl, the “loner” girl, her wording, in high school. Except it’s a crock, since Fox looked like this in high school. Correcting even for early-2000′s styling and over-plucked eyebrows, she pretty much looked exactly the same a decade ago. She actually looked then like she would now, plus five pounds and minus the styling and facial tweaking.
On growing into her looks: “I was never the pretty girl,” the actress says, describing herself as an “abrasive” and “obnoxious” “loner” in high school.
On her latest project: “I’d rather be with good people in a movie than the other way around,” Fox says. “Most of the [Friends With Kids] cast knew each other very well already; Kristen and Maya are BFFs. It was such a nice, welcoming, supporting environment… I always try to choose something different than what I’ve done before.”
On religion: Until about age 10, Megan Fox attended a Pentecostal church and religion still plays an essential part in her life. “I’ve always been intrigued and repulsed by how divisive and hateful different Christian denominations are to one another despite their obvious commonalities and interconnections,” she says. The 25-year-old actress regularly attends an L.A. church that she presents as being “not judgmental, does not close its doors to anybody, and has a young, active, passionate congregation, which is how I like to experience church.”
On going to a Christian school: Before turning 16, Fox left high school and moved to southern California. Consequently, she earned her diploma via a correspondence program. “It was the deal I’d made with my mom: I had to have a real diploma before she allow me to drop out of Christian school and move to Los Angeles.”
On her attitude: “I’ll fight to death for something I believe in, and I’ll be completely honest, even when being completely honest is maybe not the wisest way to be… I’ve learned you can do yourself a disservice by being too honest too quickly.”
On Brian Austin Green: “I was too young to remember Beverly Hills, so I didn’t know who he was. But I knew I was instantly in love.”
On her secret power if she were a comic book heroine: “Invisibility. It’s how you gain the most advantage, at least in practical situations. I would also need super strength, but that’s a given.”
On alien conspiracies: “Come on! You don’t think everything that’s learned is released to the public, do you? Surely you know one of my favorite shows is Ancient Aliens?” – via Angeleno/ Miami Magazine.
