Megan Fox is sly like one

Actress Megan Fox is profiled in the New York Times Magazine by Lynn Hirschberg. We learn that Ms. Fox is not the character we see portrayed in the media.


The [Angelina] Jolie comparison would probably have been made by the media eventually, but Fox sped up the process. By linking herself to Jolie, she sped up every process. And when Jolie became a mom and a good-will ambassador, Fox was ready to step into her shoes. It was an easy fit. Fox enjoyed creating entertaining copy. If she invented or amped up the scenarios, she could (theoretically) manage her image. And, like Jolie before her, she told entertaining tales of darkness and lust. “When I sit down to talk to men’s magazines, there’s a certain character that I play,” she explained. “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.” READ THE REST
