Megan Fox Was Uncomfortable With Her Sexuality

I linked to this in the morning but I felt it deserved its own post. Shia LaBeouf did an interview with Hero Complex about the different vibe on the set of Transformers now that Megan Fox has left. He says it’s different. Obviously.

Shia explains that Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is better prepared to shoot in a way Fox was not. Basically, being a Victoria’s Secret model, Huntington-Whiteley is more comfortable with people telling her to push her tits out and arch her back than Megan Fox was. Shia attributes it to this woman-empowerment thing Fox developed. Oh, one of those people.

“Megan developed this Spice Girl strength, this woman-empowerment [stuff] that made her feel awkward about her involvement with Michael, who some people think is a very lascivious filmmaker, the way he films women,” LaBeouf said. “Mike films women in a way that appeals to a 16-year-old sexuality. It’s summer. It’s Michael’s style. And I think [Fox] never got comfortable with it. This is a girl who was taken from complete obscurity and placed in a sex-driven role in front of the whole world and told she was the sexiest woman in America. And she had a hard time accepting it. When Mike would ask her to do specific things, there was no time for fluffy talk. We’re on the run. And the one thing Mike lacks is tact. There’s no time for [LaBeouf assumes a gentle voice] ‘I would like you to just arch your back 70 degrees.’”

“Rosie comes with this Victoria’s Secret background, and she’s comfortable with it, so she can get down with Mike’s way of working and it makes the whole set vibe very different,” LaBeouf said.

Ugh. Don’t you hate it when actresses develop a sense of empowerment and stop wanting to be treated like objects? Where do they think they are, some liberal arts college? No, it’s Hollywood, baby, where women are passed around like a joint at one of Matthew McConaughey’s parties. At least, that’s what tv has taught me.

On the other hand, what did Megan Fox expect. Michael Bay made a private video of her washing his Ferrari for her audition. At least Bay seems pretty forward about what he needs. He’s not like those other directors who you have to decipher. If Bay wants a blowjob in exchange for a part in his movie,  he’ll probably ask for it straight up. It’s quite refreshing.
