If looks could kill! Megan Fox<\/strong><\/a> is an unmistakable Hollywood beauty who has ultimately won over fans with her charismatic onscreen presence and blunt personality.<\/p>\n Fox appeared on the sitcom Hope & Faith<\/em> and in the film Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen<\/em> before landing her breakout role in 2007\u2019s Transformers<\/em> film. From there, she appeared in the second Transformers<\/em> installment and starred in the cult classic Jennifer\u2019s Bod<\/em>y.<\/p>\n Fox shares sons Noah, Bodhi and <\/a>Journey<\/a> with her ex-husband, Brian Austin Green<\/strong><\/a>. After the birth of her eldest son, Noah, the New Girl<\/em><\/a> alum opened up about the very strict diet she was following.<\/p>\n \u201cI cut out all bread and those sort of carbohydrates,\u201d she revealed to E! News<\/em><\/a> in 2014. \u201cNo crackers, no pretzels, no chips. Nothing unhealthy. The worst thing I put in my body is coffee, once a day. I don\u2019t have any cheat days but if I did, it would be pizza or cake.\u201d<\/p>\n In addition to keeping up with a healthy food regimen, Fox made sure to incorporate exercise. While training for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles<\/em>, her trainer at the time, Harley Pasternak<\/strong>, exclusively told Us Weekly<\/em> what she was doing to get in shape<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cShe\u2019s someone who naturally doesn\u2019t love working out traditionally,\u201d the fitness expert explained in 2014. \u201cShe has really adopted this great consistency and this great approach to working out; it started during her first pregnancy and has carried on through now.\u201d<\/p>\n The Holiday in the Sun<\/em> actress has often been subjected to sexualization by the industry and has been vocal about such treatment over the years, including in regards to Jennifer\u2019s Body<\/em>.<\/p>\n \u201cIt wasn\u2019t just that movie, it was every\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 day of my life, all the time, with every project I worked on and every producer I worked with,\u201d she told Entertainment Tonight<\/em><\/a> in September 2019. \u201cIt preceded a breaking point for me. I think I had a genuine psychological breakdown where I wanted just nothing to do.\u201d<\/p>\n Fox continued, \u201cI didn\u2019t want to be seen, I didn\u2019t want to have to take a photo, do a magazine, walk a carpet, I didn\u2019t want to be seen in public at all because the fear, and the belief, and the absolute certainty that I was going to be mocked, or spat at, or someone was going to yell at me, or people would stone me or savage me for just being out\u2026 so I went through a very dark moment after that.\u201d<\/p>\n As of June 2020, Fox began dating<\/a> rapper Machine Gun Kelly<\/strong><\/a>, and the two got engaged in January 2022<\/a>. One year later, Fox opened up about her struggles with body dysmorphia. \u201cI don\u2019t ever see myself the way other people see me,\u201d she said in her cover story<\/a> for Sports Illustrated<\/em>\u2019s 2023 swimsuit edition<\/a> that May. \u201cThere is never a point in my life where I loved my body, never, ever.\u201d<\/p>\n She went on to note that she\u2019s had an \u201cawareness\u201d of her body image from a young age. \u201cIt definitely wasn\u2019t environmental because I grew up in a very religious environment where bodies weren\u2019t even, like, acknowledged,\u201d Fox continued. \u201cThe journey of, like, loving myself is gonna be never-ending, I think.\u201d<\/p>\n
