The World According to Megan Fox
It’s Megan Fox’s world and we’re just living in it — er, or something like that.
On Tuesday, the pregnant star appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live and revealed some unique beliefs about her unborn child. But this is hardly the first time Fox has shared her unconventional thoughts about both this world and the great beyond. Here’s a roundup of our favorite quotes from the eccentric star.
1. She thinks her unborn baby sends her messages. During her interview with Kimmel, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles actress, 30, explained her (very) special ability to communicate with her unborn child — her third with (possibly estranged?) husband Brian Austin Green. “You don’t hear an audible voice, but I feel like you receive messages from the child if you’re open to it,” Fox said. “For instance, this baby wanted me to live somewhere else, so we’re moving to a whole different place in Los Angeles because I feel like that’s where this baby wants to be raised.” Hmm. “I know I sound crazy,” she added.

2. She thinks her unborn baby is going to be a pioneer in the world of technology or engineering. In the same interview, Fox called her baby a “super genius,” predicting, “This baby is telling me it’s kind of like a Wernher von Braun or Elon Musk.” For his part, Kimmel speculated a real estate agent might be more likely since the baby already got her to move.

3. She believes in leprechauns. “I believe in all of these Irish myths, like leprechauns,” Fox told Esquire back in 2013. “Not the pot of gold, not the Lucky Charms leprechauns. But maybe was there something in the traditional sense? I believe that this stuff came from somewhere other than people’s imaginations.”

4. And the Loch Ness monster. While she didn’t offer specific evidence for its existence to the magazine, she asserted, “There’s something to it.”

5. And aliens. In the same interview, she said, “I believe in aliens.” A few years later she told MTV, “I believe in everything,” she said. To be clear, “everything” encompassed aliens, ghosts, and Bigfoot. She later defended her statement, basically arguing that the reason more people haven’t seen aliens is because the aliens don’t want to be seen. “If they are a more advanced species, why would we be able to find them if they don’t want to be found?” she asked. OK, she has a point. Maybe.

6. She speaks in tongues at church. A devout Pentecostal, Fox claimed she began speaking in tongues at the age of 8, when she attended church in Tennessee. “The energy is so intense in the room that you feel like anything can happen,” she told Esquire. “They’re going to hate that I compare it to this, but have you ever watched footage of a Santeria gathering or someone doing voodoo? You know how palpable the energy is? Whatever’s going on there, it’s for real.”
She then added, “It feels like a lot of energy coming through the top of your head — I’m going to sound like such a lunatic — and then your whole body is filled with this electric current. And you just start speaking, but you’re not thinking because you have no idea what you’re saying. Words are coming out of your mouth, and you can’t control it. The idea is that it’s a language that only God understands. It’s the language that’s spoken in heaven. It’s called ‘getting the Holy Ghost.’”

7. She’s called herself a “doppelgänger for Alan Alda” and “a tranny.” During an interview with Giuliana Rancic on the Golden Globes red carpet back in 2009, Fox revealed just how she sees herself — and it’s not the way the rest of us see her. “I am pretty sure I am a doppelgänger for Alan Alda. I’m a tranny. I’m a man,” she stated. “I’m so painfully insecure. I’m on the verge of vomiting now. I am so horrified that I am here, and embarrassed. I’m scared.”

8. But she finds Olivia Wilde sexy. While she might consider herself a tranny, Fox thinks Olivia Wilde is the epitome of sex appeal. “Olivia Wilde is so sexy, she makes me want to strangle a mountain ox with my bare hands,” Fox explained. We’ve never been tempted to strangle a wild animal with our bare hands because we saw someone we thought was hot, but something tells us if anyone might actually go through with this, it would be Fox.
Maybe some aliens and leprechauns could help too.
