Years ago, there were rumors that Megan Fox might be playing the lead actor in a film version of a 90s comic called Fathom. The comic, created by Michael Turner, focuses on Aspen, an aquatic heroine.
In 2014, Fox said that if the film is going to happen and she is going to be the lead then they better film it soon before she gets any older – “Who knows, that’s a property I got my hands on, thank God, because I was a fan of the comic books and I love Michael Turner bless him, he’s passed on, but I don’t know. I was joking the other day because I forget how old she is but she’s mid-20s and I’m passing that soon so we gotta jump on that horse quickly if we’re going to do it. Logistically it’s just difficult because a lot of that takes place underwater so unless James Cameron is going to direct it I don’t know how we’re going to make it happen.” Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem like the project is ever going to go ahead.
4. She Became A Mother And Doesn’t Seem To Care About Anything Else
Becoming a mother is not a terrible thing, but what happened after pregnancy for Megan was not a good thing.
Now that Fox has three children she is no longer as interested in her acting career, or any other career. Fox has said – “I’ve never been an extraordinarily ambitious girl or career-oriented, but especially once I got pregnant with my first son and now (having) my second, it’s so hard to be a working mom especially when your heart is not in your work, when your heart is with your family.”
We’re glad that Fox is happy with her personal life but you have to admit that you have to have something else in your life too. After all, children eventually grow up and leave.
3. She Never Got Into Another Successful Franchise
Unfortunately, after Megan Fox was fired from Transformers, she was unable to get into a successful franchise ever again. Perhaps this failure was just bad luck or perhaps no film director wanted to hire the actress who trash-talked Transformers director Michael Bay.
Plus, let’s not forget that Fox is considered a difficult actress to work with – apparently, she’s a grump on set and is constantly late to filming.
Transformers crew members have also said that it didn’t even look as if Fox wanted to be in the film anyway, even if she said she did. Recently, Fox has kind of confirmed that by basically saying that she’s in it solely for the money – “I have to make one movie a year because I have to invest in their future and I have to be able to pay their way through college and be able to provide for them.”
2. She Became Disheartened By The Movie Industry
Megan Fox has also said numerous times that she has become disheartened by the movie industry and especially of gender inequality in Hollywood – “Women are undervalued. Equal pay for equal work.”
In addition, Fox has revealed that film directors and studio executives care very little for human life and health because money is just so much more important to them.
Apparently, Fox has been injured countless of times on set, including the Transformers set, but nothing was done about it – “You can’t shut down a movie set – it’s $2 million a day halted – even though insurance covers it. We usually fight through the injuries. As long as your face looks OK, they don’t care and they want you to keep shooting anyway.”
1. She Realized That Her Hitler Comment Was Way Out Of Line
Over the years, Megan Fox has realized that her Hitler comment and other mean things she said about Transformers director Michael Bay were way out of line. And she knows now that the stupid remark has literally cost her a successful career.
In a recent interview, Fox called the episode in her life when she was fired from Transformers as the “low point” of her career – “That was absolutely the low point of my career. But without – ‘that thing’, I wouldn’t have learned as quickly as I did. All I had to do was apologize – and I refused. I was so self-righteous at 23, I couldn’t see [that] it was for the greater good. I really thought I was Joan of Arc.”
