Megan was born as Megan Denise Foxx, with two Xs in her last name but she changed it to Fox after entering showbiz. She grew up in a very poor household and has one older sister.
Fox began her training in drama and dance at the age of 5 in Kingston, Tennessee where she grew up. In 2001, Fox made her film debut in Holiday in the Sun as the spoiled heiress Brianna Wallace and rival of Alex Stewart played by Ashley Olsen.
Megan’s big break came when she was casted the lead female role in the highly-anticipated 2007 live-action film Transformers as Mikaela Banes. The movie director of Transformers, Michael Bay asked Megan to gain 10 lbs stating that he “does not like skinny girls.”
Megan has always been compared to Angelina Jolie for the amount of tattoos she has and their resemblance. Who’s better looking to you


A slender, olive-skinned actress whose elegant beauty is somewhat offset by a collection of vivid tattoos (including a portrait of Marilyn Monroe on her right forearm and the King Lear quote "We all laugh at gilded butterflies" on her right shoulder blade), Megan Fox knew she wanted to be an actress from age three, and never once considered another line of work. A native of Memphis, TN, Fox began taking dance lessons when she was five years old and continued perfecting her graceful movements even after her family relocated to Florida five years later. At 13, the aspiring starlet enrolled in modeling and acting classes. It didn't take long for all of Fox's hard work to pay off, with a role in the 2001 Olsen twins comedy Holiday in the Sun marking the ambitious actress' official screen debut. Over the course of the next few years, Fox became a frequent fixture on television thanks to roles on What I Like About You, Two and a Half Men, and Hope & Faith. In 2004, Fox would torment a fledgling Lindsay Lohan in Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen, though it was Fox's performance as a human caught in the middle of an epic robot battle that would truly prove her calling card to Hollywood. Cast as the love interest of Shia LaBeouf in Michael Bay's 2007 blockbuster Transformers, Fox turned more than a few heads while fighting for the future of the human race. In 2008, Fox could be spotted opposite Kirsten Dunst, Simon Pegg, Jeff Bridges, and Gillian Anderson in the Robert B. Weide-directed comedy How to Lose Friends and Alienate People. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
