Megan Fox: I’m No Slut
Megan Fox may is clearly open about her feelings and she’s tired of one thing - girls thinking she’s something she’s not.
“Girls think I’m a slut,” told the actress. “I’ve been in the same relationship since I was 18,” she added, speaking of Brian Austin Green.
“If they think you’re attractive, you’re either stupid or a whore or a dumb whore. The instinct among girls is to attack the jugular.”
But Fox isn’t trying to perceive herself as a sexual person.
“If I had been a typical starlet and said all the right things, I wouldn’t have escalated to this level. I sit down and do an interview and I talk like a person and that, for some reason, is shocking. All women in Hollywood are known as sex symbols. You’re sold, and it’s based on sex. That’s O.K., if you know how to use it.”
But what about posing for magazines? When it comes to that, “there’s a certain character that I play,” she explains. “She’s not fully fleshed out-she doesn’t have her own name-but she shows up to do men’s-magazine interviews. There’s something so ridiculous about always being in your underwear in those magazines, and you know the interview is going to run opposite those pictures. So, there’s a character that talks to all of them.”
Meanwhile, the Transformer star has many times been compared to Angelina Jolie, but she says they have no similarities.
“She’s so serious and stoic. I’m the opposite. When I do interviews, I say things that I think are hysterical. But because we live in a world of sound bites, you’re not allowed to have a sense of humor.
Sarcasm doesn’t translate in print at all. And neither does self-deprecating humor. I’m not a tigress like Angelina. Of course, people want me to be. But I want to be the contradiction of that.”
Fox adds that it has been “a crazy year. I’ve learned that being a celebrity is like being a sacrificial lamb. At some point, no matter how high the pedestal that they put you on, they’re going to tear you down. And I created a character as an offering for the sacrifice.” And because of that she adds she will have to “pull back a little bit now.”
“I do live in a glass box. And I am on display for men to pay to look at me. And that bothers me. I don’t want to live that character.”
