Megan on "Jennifer" and "Jonah"

A virtual unknown until she exploded onto the big screen in Transformers, Megan Fox has quickly become one of the most desired women in Hollywood. One of FHM Magazine's "Sexiest Women in the World," included on the Maxim Magazine "Hot 100" list, one of Interview Magazine's "Future Stars of Tomorrow" and #1 on Moviefone's list of "The 25 Hottest Actors Under 25," the undeniably beautiful, the 23-year-old Tennessee native is about to make things even hotter, with her roles in the ultra-sexy Jennifer's Body and the comic book adaptation Jonah Hex.

About a small town high school student, named Jennifer Check, who is possessed by a hungry demon, Jennifer's Body puts Megan Fox in the title role. Based on the legendary DC comic book of the same name, Jonah Hex sees the actress in a smaller, but equally memorable role as a prostitute, alongside the film's star, Josh Brolin.

Currently one of Hollywood's most sought-after young actresses, the dark-haired, blue-eyed beauty spoke to TeenHollywood, during her visit to the San Diego Comic-Con, about having a career on the rise.

TeenHollywood: How was it to play a character that is so over the top and so incredibly outrageous, for Jennifer's Body?

Megan: What I loved about the movie is that it's so unapologetic and completely inappropriate at all times. That was my favorite part about the script and about the character. It's fun to be able to say the stuff that she got to say and get away with it, and see how people find it charming.

TeenHollywood: A vomit scene we saw was pretty outrageous. How did you shoot that?

Megan: That day, I think what I was actually throwing up in the scene was chocolate syrup, initially. We did a few takes where I would just do this scream and puke chocolate syrup. And then, special effects did a rig that clamps onto my ear and you revisit it in the pool scene, later on in the movie. It clipped on and went around the back of my ear, and then I had to bite down on it, on the side of my face, and it projectile vomited whatever that material was. I'm not sure. It was pretty intense. I think it was worse for Amanda Seyfried because she's the one that got puked on. I was the one doing the puking.

TeenHollywood: Did you have any trepidation about playing this type of role? And, once you actually started doing some of these scenes, how was the experience for you, in terms of the acting?

Megan: Obviously, there are not distractions, like robots, to distract you from whatever performance I do give. So, if it's terrible, you're gonna know that it's really terrible. That, of course, is intimidating, but the character was so much fun for me. I wasn't really sure what I was doing. I was just trying to have fun with it and I felt like I was able to make fun of my own image, as to how some people might perceive Megan Fox to be. I was just flying freely and I hope some of it works.

TeenHollywood: We got a sense of how scary and how funny this film can be, but how sexy is it?

Megan: Oh, this movie is so sexy. You better put on your sexy shoes for this movie. There's a relationship that happens, between my character and Amanda's character. There's a girl-on-girl kiss. I feel like it's an homage to that, but also we poke fun at how common that is in horror movies. And, beyond that, before every kill, there's a seduction that occurs. These boys have to be seduced into getting close enough to this dead girl for her to devour them. So, it does get sexy. I think I'm pretty sexy in it.

TeenHollywood: Do you think a lot of guys, given full disclosure that you were going to kill them, would opt to have a night with you?

Megan: I don't think so.

TeenHollywood: Are you a fan of horror? Is it a genre that you're naturally drawn to?

Megan: I'm actually not. I don't ever, ever watch scary movies because I have a very intense fear of the dark. The last horror movie I saw was called Tooth Fairy, and it was out in 2001. I saw it and I slept with my mother for 2 weeks, afterwards. I get really affected by them. So, for me to be able to play something that I would normally be frightened by was really intriguing and interesting.

TeenHollywood: How did you react when you saw the movie?

Megan: I was doing ADR (additional dialogue recording) on it recently and I didn't know that they had done more sound design since the last time I'd seen it. So, we were watching the clip that I was going to add a scream to, and I remember the screams that I did on set, but I didn't know they had added more. And, when I got to that part, I literally jumped and screamed inside the looping booth. It frightened me and it shook me up for five minutes. I couldn't do my ADR because I was like, 'That was really scary!' It's cool to see myself being able to scare people because I'm just a little girl. Look at me, I'm so sweet!

TeenHollywood: Who do you play in Jonah Hex?

Megan: I'm Jonah's love interest, I guess you could call it, but it's not that conventional. She's a prostitute that he's been visiting for years, and they have a special relationship. He doesn't want to get too close to her or allow her to get too close to him because everyone that he loves dies, but she doesn't really understand that concept. It's a push and pull situation.

TeenHollywood: You've said that this was the most serious role you've ever done. Why is that?

Megan: I think I just meant having to try to keep my head above water in scenes with Josh Brolin, which is a really, really difficult thing to do. It was only five days that I filmed, and I've never been more exhausted, at the end of filming something. I shot 108 days on Transformers and the five days I spent on this film were a lot more difficult. It was just hard. I was way out of my league. Everything was so far over my head that I was just trying to stay alive.

TeenHollywood: How did you like doing a period film, in the sense of the costumes and everything that entailed?

Megan: That was a lot fun. The corset, obviously, changes the way that you walk and your breathing patterns, and things like that. So, I wanted that cinched as tightly as possible.

TeenHollywood: How did you get that old-fashioned look, since you're a very modern-looking girl?

Megan: I don't know. I showed up and they did my hair and make-up.

TeenHollywood: Did you do any research for this, or spend time with any women in her occupation?

Megan: No, not really. The kind of prostitution that existed back then is very different from the kind that exists now. That was a very common way for women to make a living. And, we don't really show that. If there had been more graphic scenes, I probably would have, but the only sex scene that is in there is between Jonah and Leila, and they're lovers, so that wasn't really the same sort of situation.

TeenHollywood: What's it like to work five days on a film and be second billed?

Megan: I'm the only girl, so I guess that's what it is.
