Megan Denise Fox was born on May 16, 1986, in the small provincial town of Oak Ridge, which is located in Tennessee. Her dad (Franklin Thomas Fox) was a representative of an atypical profession – he watched the freed intruders. Mom (Gloria Darlene), in turn, was a housewife. Also, the older sister of the future celebrity was brought up in the family.
Fox’s parents divorced when their youngest daughter was just 3 years old. The woman did not raise her children for long alone, after a while the girls had a stepfather. The family moved to Port St. Lucie, Florida. The new “father” was much older than Gloria, and also had a peculiar character. The strict upbringing system affected Megan’s health. She was tormented for a long time by panic attacks and outbursts of aggression.
Great talent
The active little girl attended a couple of circles, starting to study dance and theatrical art at the age of five! This was not enough for the restless girl, soon Megan joined the choir and the swimming team. She received her first awards thanks to her successes in a new field – in 1999, her talent was noted by representatives of the judging teams of several beauty contests at once.
A victim of bullying
Teenagers are often violent and unfair. Fox often fell prey to this behavior in high school. The girl even locked herself in the school toilet to eat her lunch properly. In the dining room, ketchup or other food was often thrown into it. Most often, the little girl was bullied by her classmates, they envied the sociable Megan, who had no problems with boys.
Strong character
The episodic bullying did not affect the girl in any way, she was not afraid to experiment with her appearance (hair color, image, and style), and also always defended her opinion. Fox was not going to stay in one place for a long time and tried with all her efforts to pave the way to the future. Already at the age of 17, she decides to graduate from school as an external student to quickly leave her parents and move to Los Angeles.
Career: First roles
The girl’s career started at a time when the American lived in Florida. The first time she appeared in a big movie was thanks to “Sunny Vacation”. Fox got used to the role of a sultry beauty who tried to harm other girls. The brunette also starred in Bad Boys 2 and Two and a Half Men.
After moving to California, the native of Tennessee for a long time could not apply for the coveted role. Thus, she had to agree to all promising projects. For example, she participated in “Star of the Stage” with the famous Lindsay Lohan. A special place in Fox’s career is occupied by the TV series “Queen of the Screen” since Megan was an integral part of the filming process for two years.
Long-awaited success
The world community saw the American fantastic action movie “Transformers” in 2007. The story of the war of alien robots on our Earth has sunk into the souls of men and women. The audience also noted the charismatic performance of Megan Fox, who played the key female character – Michaela Baines. The girl got the opportunity to star in the film thanks to her external data and popular works in fashionable glossy magazines. Such a bright performance gave her the chance to take home the MTV Breakthrough of the Year award. In 2009, she again played the role of Michaela Baines.
The audience expected to see Megan in the new iconic “Transformers-3”, but this event was not destined to happen. The interview with the famous British publishing house The Telegraph was a big mistake. The sexy brunette told reporters that director Michael Bay was reminiscent of Hitler with his antics. He made the actress gain weight and also work on her skin color.
Steven Spielberg (a well-known director and part-time producer of the picture) did not tolerate such antics of a promising girl and fired her. In turn, Fox denies the fact of dismissal and claims that she left the project of her own free will.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
In 2014 and 2016, Megan starred in two parts of action films that were dedicated to the Ninja Turtles universe. The girl played the role of the reporter April O’Neill, who, by chance, became the best friend of Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello, and Michelangelo. Film critics did not appreciate these works very well, this fact did not prevent “Turtles” from fully paying off at the box office.
Other best films
Megan has appeared in several popular films. Account of her appearance in the movie “Jennifer’s Body”, the comedy “Children are not a hindrance to sex”, the drama “Zerovil” and the dramatic thriller “Passion Games”. Also, many admirers of Fox’s work celebrate her cameo (the role where she plays herself) in the movie “The Dictator”.
