Megan Fox was born in Rockwood, Tennessee, and has Irish, French, and Native American ancestry. She grew up in a “very poor” household and has one older sister.

Megan began her training in drama and dance at the age of 5. At age 10, after moving to Florida, she continued her training and finished her high school education. She then moved back to Tennessee and lived in Oak Ridge, Tennessee for 6 months before starting her acting career.

By age 13, Megan’s talent for dance created new opportunities for her in the modeling world. She began acting and modeling upon winning several awards at the 1999 American Modeling and Talent Convention in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina.

Megan made her film debut in the 2001 film Holiday in the Sun as the spoiled heiress Brianna Wallace and rival of Alex Stewart (Ashley Olsen). She then landed guest appearances on Ocean Ave., What I Like About You, Two and a Half Men and The Help from 2003 to 2004. In 2004, Megan starred in Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen alongside Lindsay Lohan. She was subsequently cast in her first recurring role in a television series on Hope & Faith, in which she portrayed Sydney Shanowski from 2004 until 2006.

Megan’s big break arrived when she acquired the lead female role of Mikaela Banes in the highly-anticipated 2007 live-action film Transformers, based on the toy and cartoon saga of the same name. She played the love interest of Shia LaBeouf’s character Sam Witwicky. In June 2007, Megan was cast in How to Lose Friends & Alienate People, starring alongside Jeff Bridges and Kirsten Dunst. Coincidentally, the character Megan will portray is that of a young Hollywood starlet getting her first taste of fame. The film will be relased in late 2008.

Megan has appeared in a five page spread for the November 2005 issue of the popular men’s magazine FHM. She also posed for the March 2007 issue of FHM, the June 2007 issue of GQ, the July 2007 issue of Maxim, and the September 2007 issue of Arena. She was voted the Sexiest Woman in the World by FHM magazine in 2008, beating out Jessica Biel and Jessica Alba. Megan is represented by The Gersh Agency.

Megan has been rumored to star as Cassie, in the comic book film adaptation Hack/Slash. In July 2007, Megan said that she was “really interested” in portraying Cassie in the film adaptation.

As of 2007, Megan has been engaged to Brian Austin Green, actor and former star of Beverly Hills, 90210.

Tattoos Junkie?

Megan has nine tattoos, which she says she gets when she has “a feeling about anything”.

They include a poem on her ribcage, a symbol for strength on her neck, her boyfriend Brian’s name near her genital region and a picture of Marilyn Monroe’s face on her right arm. She also has one on her right shoulder that says “We will all laugh at gilded butterflies,” a line from Shakespeare’s play King Lear.

Megan has stated she has tried illegal drugs, but says “that’s how I know I don’t like them,” additionally saying she is one of few in Hollywood not using them.
