megan fox been involved with actor Brian Austin

Personal life

Fox has been involved with actor Brian Austin Green since 2004, having first met on the set of Hope & Faith when she was 18 and he was 30. In 2006, they became engaged, and then broke it off in February 2009. Some time later in 2009, Fox was targeted by a group of fashion-motivated criminals known as "The Bling Ring", who robbed Green's home because she was living with him. and Green were engaged again in June 2010, and on June 24, 2010, the two wed in a private ceremony at the Four Seasons Resort on the Big Island of Hawaii.

In 2011, Fox's Transformers and Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen co-star Shia LaBeouf stated that he and Fox had shared a romantic relationship. Fox's representative later confirmed the story. The two previously stated that they were only friends, with LaBeouf saying that despite a mutual attraction, they chose not to act on it in fear of potential problems in the relationship affecting their work environment.

Fox is a fan of comic books, anime, and video games, and her favorite artist is Michael Turner, whose Fathom comic she describes as a longtime obsession. She has two dogs, including a Pomeranian named after Sex Pistols bassist Sid Vicious. She has stated that she supports the legalization of marijuana, openly admitting to smoking it, and saying that she does not consider it a drug and would be first in line to buy a pack of joints. Additionally, Fox has expressed a distrust of "all boys-slash-men" in general, as well as women in the industry. "I especially don’t trust girls in this industry, because it’s incredibly competitive, and I’m just not interested," she stated.

In September 2008, Fox alluded to being bisexual in an interview with GQ magazine. She said that, when she was 18 years old, she fell in love with and sought to establish a relationship with a female stripper. She used this experience to illustrate her belief that "all humans are born with the ability to be attracted to both sexes" and additionally showed interest in Olivia Wilde. In May 2009, she confirmed her bisexuality.In the June 2009 issue of ELLE, however, she stated that she somewhat distorted the events of her relationship with the stripper, saying she has given certain male writers "an amped-up version" of her past. "They’re boys; they’re easily toyed with," she said. "I tell stories and have them eating out of my hand. Not all of it is true. In fact, most of it is bullshit." Fox said, "I never said she was my girlfriend! I just said that I loved her, and I did love her. The real story is more sobering. It’s not a sexy, fun-time, fantasy story. But that’s not the story you tell GQ."

Fox has a fear of flying; she said she developed this about the time she turned 20. She has had to come up with ways to deal with it in order to avoid having panic attacks when getting onto a plane, most notably by listening to Britney Spears songs.She also has brachydactyly ("shortness of the fingers and toes"), and has additionally been open about her insecurities and self-harming, acknowledging that she has low self-esteem:

... I don't want to elaborate. I would never call myself a cutter. Girls go through different phases when they're growing up, when they're miserable and do different things, whether it's an eating disorder or they dabble in cutting. I'm really insecure about everything. I see what I look like, but there are things that I like and things that I dislike. My hair is good. The color of my eyes is good, obviously. I'm too short. But overall, I'm not super excited about the whole thing. I never think I'm worthy of anything... I have a sick feeling of being mocked all the time. I have a lot of self-loathing. Self-loathing doesn't keep me from being happy. But that doesn't mean I don't struggle. I am very vulnerable. But I can be aggressive, hurtful, domineering and selfish, too. I'm emotionally unpredictable and all over the place. I'm a control freak.

Take A Look At Me - Greyson Chance

So long to electric fences
Not much left for me to run from now
Guess I'll turn myself around
I'm putting down my defensess
These wings are gonna take me off the ground
It's freedom sweet as sound
And I'll admit that I was wrong
And it is obvious that I'm
Finally taking my fist down

Would you stop and take a look at me now
Could you stop and take a look at me now
When your standing right infront of me
Your looking at the posotive that was negative
Would you stop and take a look at me now
Don't know what you get tomorrow
Not sure where I want to go tonight
Isn't that what lifes about
So long for the fears and worries
Lets go and you wont be sorry
I'll be the one that gets you out
Chase the demons out tonight
You can see how fast they run
When you turn the lights will shine

Would you stop and take a look at me now
Could you stop and take a look at me now
When your standing right infront of me
Your looking at the posotive that was negative
Would you stop and take a look at me now

And it gets more beautiful it gets more beautiful
As the sun turns into rain
And the hurt turns into shame
And it gets more wonderfull it gets more wonderfull
Can you get this through your brain
That you can not lose again

Would you stop and take a look at me now
Could you stop and take a look at me now
When your standing right infront of me
Your looking at the posotive that was negative
Would you stop and take a look at me now

Stranded - Greyson Chance

Sat there on the dock with both my feet grazing the water,
I could taste the island beaches on tongue,
Splashes on my tongue got me imagining the palm trees,
And the shorelines spotted up with coconuts,
Tidal waves and hurricanes,
Broken anchors, crashing planes,
Keep washing me up on your sand,
Take my hand,

(Chorus)
I wanna be stranded on this island with you,
(Oh, Oh)
I wanna be I wanna stranded on this island for two,
(Oh, Oh)
And I hope it's somewhere far,
Where only we are,
Stranded on your heart

Spend all my free time thinking,
How your tears aren't made for drinking,
But I'm thirsty for what you keeping inside,
Losing track of time what seems like weeks is only hours,
I can't wait until that moment when your mine,
Even though we're not the same,
Different in every way,
I can't help but smile when you say 'take my hand',

(Chorus)

I won't call SOS,
No message in a bottle,
No signaling with smoke,
I'm trying to get home,
If I can't be with you,
I'd rather be alone,

(Chorus)

Oh, Oh, Oh,

And I hope it's somewhere far,
Where only we are,
Stranded on your heart (x2)

Ooooh Ooooh, (x4)

Summer Train - Greyson Chance

Come with me for a little ride, see the shadows passing by
Look at the sun and see the clouds turn to faces in the sky
We’ve been awake all night, shattered dreams all around
Close your sad, sad eyes we will be safe and sound

Come with me for a little ride, see the shadows passing by
Look at the sun and see the clouds turn to faces in the sky
Daydreaming lightly through the rain
All’s forgiven on a summer train

Come with me for a little ride, see the shadows passing by
Seems we are a thousand miles away from last night
As you sigh in my ear, kiss the rain goodbye

Come with me for a little ride, see the shadows passing by
Look at the sun and see the clouds turn to faces in the sky
Daydreaming lightly through the rain
All’s forgiven on a summer train

Come with me for a little ride, see the shadows passing by
Come away with me, it’s gonna be all right just breathe
Come away with me, it’s gonna be all right you’ll seeg

And the wind …. this train is flying us all through the rain, I fear
And the sky is getting brighter with every mile
And it all seems clear

Come with me for a little ride, see the shadows passing by
Look at the sun and see the clouds turn to faces in the sky
Daydreaming lightly through the rain
All’s forgiven on a summer train

Come with me for a little ride, see the shadows passing by
Come away with me, it’s gonna be all right just breathe
Come away with me, it’s gonna be all right you’ll see

Come away with me, it’s gonna be all right just breathe
Come away with me, it’s gonna be all right you’ll see, you’ll see

Hold On 'Til The Night - Greyson Chance

[Verse 1]
Watching the minute hand
Frozen solid not moving
Still we believe we can
But we're afraid of losing
Watching from over here
It's hardly worth competing
I'm almost out of here
While breaking a heart that's beating
Just as I start giving up
I'm not backing up

[Chorus]
Run into the light
Get out of your own way
Not afraid to fight
Believe in what you say
I'll hold on till the night
Hanging by a thread
I'm not scared to let go
Thoughts inside your head
That creep up to get you
I believe this is right
So I'll hold on til the night

[Verse 2]
I climbed up on a tree
To get a new perspective
If love is worth the time
The price is being rejected
Just as I start falling down
I turned this around
[Chorus]
Run into the light
Get out of your own way
Not afraid to fight
Believe in what you say
I'll hold on till the night
Hanging by a thread
I'm not scared to let go
Thoughts inside your head
That creep up to get you
I believe this is right
So I'll hold on til the night

[Bridge]
Hold on til I'm with you
All I've got to give you
All my fears are slowly fading to never know
Yes I start running running running running!

[Chorus]
Run into the light
Get out of your own way
Not afraid to fight
Believe in what you say
I'll hold on till the night
(Believe that this is the night)
Hanging by a thread
I'm not scared to let go
Thoughts inside your head
That creep up to get you
I believe this is right
So I'll hold on til the night

Home Is In Your Eyes - Greyson Chance

[Verse 1]
My heart beats a little bit slower
These nights are a little bit colder
Now that you're gone
My skies seem a little bit darker
Sweet dreams seem a little bit harder...
I hate when you're gone.

Everyday times passing
growing tired of all this traffic
Take me away to where you are..

[Chorus]
I wanna be holding your hand in the sand by the
the tire swing where we use to be
baby you and me

I try with a thousand miles
Just so I can see you smile
Feels so far away when you cry
Cause home is in your eyes

[Verse 2]
Your heart beats a little bit faster
There's tears where there use to be laughter...
Now that I'm gone...

You talk just a little bit softer
Things take a little bit longer..
You hate that I'm gone..

Everyday times passing
growing tired of all this traffic
Take me away to where you are..

[Chorus]
I wanna be holding your hand in the sand by the
the tire swing where we use to be
baby you and me

I try with a thousand miles
Just so I can see you smile
Feels so far away when you cry
Cause home is in your eyes

[Bridge]
If I could write another ring a ding
This wouldn't even be our song
I'd find a way where we would never ever be apart
Right from the start

[Chorus x2]
I wanna be holding your hand in the sand by the
the tire swing where we use to be
baby you and me

I try with a thousand miles
Just so I can see you smile
Feels so far away when you cry
Cause home is in your eyes
