Opening up in her most candid and revealing interview in years, Megan Fox speaks to GLAMOUR’s Emily Maddick about sexism, being a sex symbol, her psychological breakdown, pressures of parenting, her feminist revival and rejection – and passionate blood-drinking rituals with her fiancé, Machine Gun Kelly…


Megan Fox is having a moment. This much we all know. Every red carpet she steps on to, every Kardashian she steps out with and every outfit she wears is analysed idolised or meme-ified generating headlines on a near daily basis. Despite not having an account herself, on TikTok she’s a goddess, celebrated for her wit, style and unapologetic honesty. And then, of course, there’s her equally unapologetic, PDA-packing, internet-breaking romance and exceedingly extra engagement – complete with claims of mutual blood drinking – with rapper and actor Machine Gun Kelly.


But Megan has not always been as celebrated, appreciated or – crucially – understood.


Her rise to fame in the early Noughties saw her emerge as an almost cartoon-like sex symbol whose pin-up, all-American good looks garnered her a reputation for some roles that seemed solely to serve the male gaze. And the public and the media treated her accordingly. I, too, was guilty of underestimating Megan Fox in the past, buying in to the sex-symbol narrative and not taking her seriously enough. But no longer.
