Megan Fox's first crush was on a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle
Longtime Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fans have been roundly skeptical of director Michael Bay's upcoming blockbuster reboot. But maybe they don't need to worry after all; in a recent interview with MTV News, star Megan Fox revealed her borderline-disturbing devotion to the Turtles.
"My first crush, and everyone thinks this is really weird, but little girls have crushes on animated characters, and my first crush was Michaelangelo,” said Fox, who will play April O'Neil in the movie. "So I'm super excited."
Though Fox's admission does assuage some fears about her commitment to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise, it also calls her taste in romantic partners into question. Come on, Megan — Michaelangelo? He's a party dude.
