Headline : Fantastic Ms. Megan Fox: The Personalities Interview
By : Jorge Carreon @ Examiner.com
Say what you will about Megan Fox, and plenty have of late. One of the most polarizing actresses of the moment, she has evolved into that rare breed of celebrity. Candid, unfiltered and positively fearless, it is easy to see and read why she draws such intense reactions. (And by the way, for some, her utter carnal heat runs a close second.)
In 2009, Fox had a bit of a mixed year in terms of box office success. While she re-teamed with Shia LaBeouf and director Michael Bay for the year’s biggest hit, “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen,” her first starring role in the Diablo Cody-penned “Jennifer’s Body” proved a bit of a disappointment in the end. Regardless, Ms. Fox is here to stay. And chances are, she really doesn’t care if people like it or not.
Here’s more with Megan Fox on being herself, being beautiful and making “Jennifer’s Body,” the unrated version of which has just been released this week on Blu-ray and DVD.
JORGE CARREON: What was your initial reaction to Diablo Cody’s script, which was such a departure from “Juno?”
FOX: The way Diablo writes is so original. And so it’s bizarre. She’s writes in a very bizarre way, this very youth-driven language that you don’t often find in film scripts. I loved it. I have a really bad sense of humor. I find really tragic things funny, so this movie was perfect for me. I’m always the person making a joke. Actually, Amanda (Seyfried) and I have that in common. We always make jokes and everyone else is horrified. Not only do they not laugh, they’re like really upset. And we think it’s very funny. We are alone in that relationship.
CARREON: How would you define your role as Jennifer Check?
FOX: There’s always something about playing a character that is superficial. She’s not healthy as far as her relationships with men and boys are concerned. And you never see her parents. You see her mother once in this film. She’s very sad. Even though the exterior she gives off is one of a confident, Valley girl-esque teenager, she becomes a real bad ass. She gets kind of hardcore there for a second.
