Megan Fox: 'Fallen' Angel-My Favorite

Transformers made her one of Hollywood's hottest commodities and yes, she knows she's a commodity. With the sequel about to hit, she talks a blue streak about fame, creepy men, jealous women, and refusing to be a "publicity android".Here simple chat with her.

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY:

Transformers turned you into an overnight star. Looking back, how do you feel about the movie?

MEGAN FOX: I'm terrible in it. It's my first real movie and it's not honest and not realistic. The movie wasn't bad, I just wasn't proud about what I did.

What percentage of your range have people seen so far?
Seven percent. On the new one, I tried. But unless you're a seasoned veteran, working with Michael Bay is not about an acting experience.

What was it like the first time you worked with him?
I was actually an extra on Bad Boys II [in 2003]. There's a club scene, and I was one of the club kids. I was in a stars-and-stripes bikini and a cowboy hat, dancing under a waterfall.

Wait, what?
Yeah, I was still in ninth grade. I liked it at the time, because I was getting out of school. So I was like, F--- yeah, I don't care! And I got paid extra because if you allow them to put water on you, you get paid extra. I got probably $600.

How did you feel about being sexualized like that when you were 15?
I thought it was awesome. I was going to a Christian high school and I wasn't a feminist yet. I hadn't sat back and analyzed society yet. I was 15! I just did what I was told to do.

What did your parents think?
My mom was with me! I was always übersexual, so she wasn't shocked. I was always wearing the smallest clothes I could find. I would go to the mall like that — in a short, short skirt and a giant wedge heel. That's what you do when you're a teenage girl in a small town.

Were you rebellious as a teen?
I would steal my mom's car because I was always grounded and she would never drive me anywhere.

When you were how old?
[Laughs] Fourteen.
