Megan Fox redefines career after motherhood: No nude scenes ahead
Until recently, Megan Fox was considered one of the sexiest women in the world, captivating audiences with her scantily clad, provocative photos and films. However, her outlook on life has begun to change in recent years.
"Motherhood, in a sense, saved me. I needed an escape. Before I became a mom, I was lost. I was trying to understand how I could feel valuable or find purpose in this terrifying, patriarchal, misogynistic hell that Hollywood was at the time," the actress said in an interview with the "Washington Post".
Megan Fox had her first child at the age of 26, Noah Shannon Green, in 2012. In subsequent years, he was joined by Bodhi Ransom (2014) and Journey River (2016). The marriage of the "Transformers" star and actor Brian Austin Green ("Beverly Hills 90210"), who is 12 years older, lasted 12 years. The couple divorced in 2022.
"Now that I am a mom, I don't see myself in any nude scenes in my professional future. Boys should never watch hot scenes involving their own mother. Children may be unable to handle it because they can't distinguish reality from film fiction. It becomes very complicated when it comes to their mother," Megan Fox explained in an interview.
The actress admitted that in recent years, she had to turn down many offers to play in projects that, in her opinion, contained excessively bold scenes. "I even read a few very good scripts, which involved talented people and talented directors, but what the women had to do in them were things my sons should never see me do," the actress continued.
"I was offered a project that would air on HBO. It focuses on the life of a prostitute and contains very drastic (erotic - ed.) scenes, like in a movie only for adult viewers. These are things that are demeaning for a woman playing such a role" – summarized Megan Fox, who was recently seen in the fourth part of "The Expendables".
