Megan Fox details struggles with fame and paparazzi while filming \u2018Jennifer\u2019s Body\u2019<\/p>\n
PEOPLE<\/a>\u00a0reported Megan Fox\u2019s confession on dealing with fame and paparazzi after \u201cJennifer\u2019s Body.\u201d She said she would not try to change who she was back then because the turmoil is part of why the role worked. Fox said, \u201cI think where I was at that point in my life, so lost, so full of that rage that I had towards how I had been treated in the industry,\u201d explaining that she was \u201cdealing with fame\u201d when production began.<\/p>\n She added that paparazzi behavior at the time often crossed a line. Recalling a premiere that same year, she said photographers shouted insults as she tried to reach her car.\u00a0Fox\u00a0recalled someone asking, \u201cMegan, do you think you\u2019re overrated? The internet says so,\u201d all while she was only doing her job.<\/p>\n Those experiences, she said, fed into Jennifer Check, a popular teen who becomes a monster after a violent ritual in the film. She told the audience, \u201cI felt like I was being persecuted at that time in my career, and I was struggling a lot with fame and kind of traumatized by fame.\u201d Playing Jennifer \u201cgave me a place to put those qualities of myself that are really unhinged, that are not appropriate to express every day of your life,\u201d the actor recalled. As such,\u00a0Fox\u00a0called the work \u201cvery cathartic.\u201d<\/p>\n Finally, Fox suggested that the raw emotions of dealing with her fame and paparazzi after \u201cJennifer\u2019s Body\u201d helped the final result. As she concluded, \u201cIf I had been able to warn myself or give myself advice or have any sort of grounding or clarity, I don\u2019t think you would\u2019ve gotten the performance that you got.\u201d Now, years later, the movie and Fox\u2019s legacy continue to grow.<\/p>\n Originally reported by Ishika Mishra on Reality Tea<\/a>.<\/p>\n The post Megan Fox Once Felt Lost & Rageful Over Newfound Fame<\/a> appeared first on Mandatory<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Megan Fox\u00a0recently reflected on the years surrounding \u201cJennifer\u2019s Body,\u201d admitting it was not easy to manage fame and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":102360,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[458,146,85,46,27365,27367],"class_list":{"0":"post-102359","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-celebrities","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-il","11":"tag-israel","12":"tag-jennifers-body","13":"tag-megan-fox"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/102359","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=102359"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/102359\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/102360"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=102359"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=102359"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=102359"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
