Megan Fox kisses and tells
At just 23, the actress and pinup girl has already acquired a reputation for extreme candor, whether the topic is her own sex life or what she thinks of other people.
Megan Fox doesn’t think much of the acting profession. Actors, she tells Alex Bilmes in British GQ, “are the worst a--holes to hang out with.” They are “either narcissistic douche bags or raging alcoholics.” At just 23, the actress and pinup girl has already acquired a reputation for extreme candor, whether the topic is her own sex life or what she thinks of other people. Mostly, she doesn’t think very highly of anyone or anything. Fame? “It doesn’t mean anything. Anyone can be famous.” The men who fawn all over her? They’re “weak,” she says. “Retards. Ridiculous. So pathetic.” She’s no less disdainful of what she does for a living. “Acting is a very weird thing. We get paid to feign attraction and love. When you think about it, we’re kind of prostitutes.” The worst part, she says, is kissing strange men for the camera. “It’s a super-intimate thing to do. Touching mouths? I really have to enjoy someone’s personality, not just their looks, before I kiss them. This one kid I had to kiss had just eaten. And he passed a piece of whatever it was [from his mouth to hers]. I swear to God. That’s gross. I was a bitch the rest of the day.”
