Megan Fox: “I’m Not A Robot Or A Self-Absorbed Ice Queen”
September 13, 2011 by Hollywoodite
Megan Fox can’t really win. She’s either being evasive and admittedly lying in interviews about her personal life and then people are left to come to their own conclusions. Or she’s giving away the farm and people are free to take words and phrases out of context making her look worse.
Fox admitted she used to evade questions or tell lies in interviews as a way of keeping her personal life intact. She only admitted it after it backfired spectacularly and started to affect her career. Then she started telling the truth… for example about Michael Bay being “like Hitler” on set. And she was effectively fired from Transformers 3 for that.
In a new interview with Moviefone, Fox seems a little more mature and human and it’s like she’s really over the more juvenile games. It doesn’t appear to be the Fox who waxed on and on about her sex life or things equally shallow and asinine. She seems to have learned her lesson (incidentally, after telling no less than two outlets the details of sex with Fox on the set of Transformers, Shia LaBeouf learned the same).
“I just think the media, in general, I just don’t really get portrayed as someone who has feelings or who is sympathetic. Or I sort of am portrayed as this… I feel… like a self-absorbed ice queen,” said Fox.
“Maybe… But, you know, I care about people. I care about my life and I love people. I’m not this robot. I feel people think I’m almost like a robot, like an android… I used to have a lot of fun in interviews; I’d be playful, I’d be sarcastic. But there’s too much room for someone to take what I was saying and cut it up, rearrange it, and throw it on Extra. It’s insane. You have to be really strong. You have to just shut yourself off to the criticism at some point.” – via Mediafone.
Fox is currently at TIFF where she sat for another interview with The Hollywood Reporter (below).
