Megan Fox made enemy out of Steven Spielberg
Megan Fox has clearly made an enemy out of Steven Spielberg. According to Transformers director Michael Bay, Spielberg — who produces the film series and is Jewish — was left furious when the actress compared Bay to Nazi leader Adolf Hitler, so demanded that she was removed from Transformers: Dark of the Moon.
“You know the Hitler thing,” Bay recalled, “Steven said, ‘Fire her right now.’ ”
Megan Fox — who was replaced on the film by British model turned actress Rosie Huntington-Whitley — had claimed she left the project to pursue other roles.
After she departed the film, crew members were less than complimentary about the star. In a letter posted on Michael’s website, one wrote, “Michael found this shy, inexperienced girl, plucked her out of total obscurity thus giving her the biggest shot of any young actresses’ life.
“He told everyone around to just trust him on his choice. He granted her the starring role in ‘Transformers’, a franchise that forever changed her life; she became one of the most googled women on earth. She was famous! She was the next Angelina Jolie, hooray! Wait a minute, two of us worked with Angelina — second thought — she’s no Angelina. You see, Angelia is a professional.
“We know this quite intimately because we’ve had the tedious experience of working with the dumb-as-a-rock Megan Fox on both Transformers movies.”
Screenwriter Ehren Kruger also said that when she arrived at rehearsals for Transformers: Dark of the Moon, Megan didn’t appear interested in the film.
