Michael Bay On Megan Fox: She Can Say Some "very ridiculous things"

Tell us how you REALLY feel, Megan!


No Caption Provided

Looks to me like Fox is getting,...well...cocky. At least she's a realist, though. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Megan Fox voiced her real feelings about the film that turned her into a star virtually overnight.


“I can’t s**t on this movie because it did give me a career and open all the doors for me. But I don’t want to blow smoke up people’s a**. People are well aware that that this is not a movie about acting.”


Well, she isn't known for her ingenuity; but at least the girl is honest. She has a lot to owe to Michael Bay, and if I were her, I would keep my mouth shut, or at least refrain from using "Sh**" and "a**" in an interview.

We've previously reported how sentimental Director Michael Bay has gotten in the past when he's had to come to the defense of his summer blockbusters; this time was no different. Seems Bay took what Fox said pretty personally.

“Well, that’s Megan Fox for you. She says some very ridiculous things because she’s 23 years old and she still has a lot of growing to do...“Nic Cage wasn’t a big actor when I cast him, nor was Ben Affleck before I put him in Armageddon. Shia LaBeouf wasn’t a big movie star before he did Transformers - and then he exploded. Not to mention Will Smith and Martin Lawrence, from Bad Boys...Nobody in the world knew about Megan Fox until I found her and put her in Transformers. I like to think that I’ve had some luck in building actors’ careers with my films.”


Michael Bay is certainly very modest, isn't he?

I think Megan should be grateful that Transformers isn't and acting movie, considering that she can't act.

Oh people are just so funny squabbling over how they became this big star and all.  I will tell you this though, Megan Fox's choice of vocabulary just shows how well educated this one really is.  Way too funny, just too damn funny.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that I don't think most people like Megan Fox.  Not sure what it is but something is just screaming that to me.....  Or is it just me?

Megan Fox better not burn any bridges she doesn't have alot of talent and needs the autobots and decepticons, and she wasn't as hot in the first movie as the blonde haired australian actress in the first movie or Isabel Lucas in the second movie.

Lol yeah Martin Lawrence's latest movie was Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins i believe i saw it and it was probably the worst movie i seen him in, i just watched National Security today and even being as old and low budget as it was i even liked that better, he seems to be a great guy with potential with movies but i hope if he is in another movie he steps his game up...

Micheal Bay is a whinny b!tch. I agree with what Fox said 100% Its not like she said anything hurtful or even about Bay himself. The dude is just hyper sensitive. And it cracks me up how he takes credit for Afleck, Smith, Cage, and Martin Lawrence's careers. As if they weren't already famous before he blessed them with roles in his movies. Bay needs to go get himself a Hug and a Pepsi and stop crying.

I think some of the actors Bay mentioned were somewhat star worthy before working with him. Fox should complain too much even though she has a point

Damn you gotta admit the guy is right in that sense,  He just named so pretty huge actors and backed it up.  But if there's one thing I learned from (what might be a bad example) Entorage is you have to do the ceritfiably marketable movie in order to get the rolls you really want.  Prove you can do a popcorn movie and then you get to pick the rolls you want.  "You do Aquaman you dumb ^%$#."

Megan Fox shouldn't put her nose up at what Bay has done for her career. Plenty of...ahem...face time.

I can understand Bay's disdain and haughty reply. After all, he did way more for the movie than Fox did (or could probably imagine); he felt slighted by her remarks. And seriously? A** and s**t? That's profound and ladylike...*sarcasm!*

I thought the 2nd was done better then the first. More humor, action, better camera work Etc. But really I enjoy MB films. I see his name on it, and I know I'm going to get his signature Coloring, Camera Work and Blockbuster Action. That's what I want from his films, That's what he tries to give us, and that's what we get. He's a lot like Tony Scott in that regard. Whom I also enjoy btw. I don't think that someone who does what he does should be expected to make art films or whatever. To be honest I think what guys like TS and MB do is a art in and of itself, one that critics seem to be trying to do away with. But in reality many of us, in fact most of us, still want to see them and enjoy them. Which is why the movies they make are always the big high grossing blockbusters. It's the few that yell and cry and moan about how awful these guys are, not the many. If it were the many I wouldn't get feedback from people saying they've seen their film 2,3 or even 4 times at $10 a ticket during a recession.

To be honest Me and lot of other fans wish he would have never been director for this Movie Franchise. Alot of reasons I can spill. But this in particular is another one.

Ben Afleck didnt blow up cause of Armageddon, he blew up cause he helped make Good Will Hunting. Martin Lawrence blew up in House Party and Do the Right Thing. Will Smith was the Fresh Prince looong before Bay came along. I'm not saying they didn't go on to have great success after working with Bay, but for him to take credit for it, as if these names wouldn't have gone on to bigger things had they never met him is what I find ridiculous. Not Fox's comments.

Maybe he meant Martin Lawrence and Will Smith as a team. That would be true. They weren't famous for being together before Bad Boys.
