The actor became a household name with theTransformersfilms starring Shia LeBoeuf and directed by Michael Bay. Bay, whose films are known to be visually stimulating not just from the action point of view, but also in the manner in which he projects the female stars, was instrumental in making Megan Fox look sizzling on screen.

TheJennifer’s Bodyactor’s sizzling personality on screen made her one of the most desirable stars. Fox, in an interview, elaborated on the rather strange way in which Michael Bay cast her for the role. According to thePassion Playactor, Bay was concerned only about two aspects that he wished to see in her.
“The only thing Mike asked me when I was reading with him and auditioning, he just asked me if I could run. He’s like, ‘Can you run?’ I was like, ‘Well yeah, I think so.’ And the other thing he asked me, he goes, ‘Do you have a nice stomach?’ And I said, ‘Well, in my opinion, yes I do.’
Michael Bay’s instructions to Megan fox to look ‘s*xy and hot’ at all times during the filming, ultimately did not sit well with the star who felt that she was being typecast and objectified for her appearance. This led to her making a controversial comment about Bay that saw her leave the franchise permanently.

Though she confirmed that Bay was not preying on her or taking advantage of her, the star felt pushed into a corner where she was not allowed to move past her beauty. Fox vocalized these thoughts and said,
‘Who am I talking to? Where am I supposed to be looking at?’ And he responds, ‘Just be s*xy.’ I get mad when people talk to me like that. He wants to be like Hitler on his sets, and he is. So he’s a nightmare to work for.”
