This 20-year-old hottie started out as a model and embarked on her acting adventure in 2001 with acting jobs in movies with Ashley Olsen (Holiday in the Sun) and Lindsay Lohan (Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen), as well as in films with titles like How To Lose Friends & Alienate People (2007) and Whore (2008). But far from turning out as a wrecked Hollywood princess, Megan Fox lands her breakout role in 2007’s big-screen blockbuster Transformers. And things have gotten bigger and grander since.

As the new movie, the much-awaited Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, hits the theatres this month, Megan shares her insights on becoming a role model, thoughts about alien-built pyramids and on-set beauty tips in an interview by John Millar.

QUESTION: How did the success of Transformers change your life?

MEGAN FOX: It happened gradually. You don’t wake up and your life is different. It happens week-by-week, month-by-month. But it changes because now neither one of us can say something without it being a top story on Yahoo News. So we can’t joke around as much and we can’t be silly. We have to take into consideration that there are kids paying attention. People want you to be some sort of role model and it is an immense amount of responsibility that is pushed on two people who maybe were not ready for that responsibility or were not looking for it.

QUESTION: How cool is it to be filming scenes when you are saving the planet, here at the centre of the Ancient world at the Pyramids?
MEGAN FOX: It is such a cool location to be a part of. I just heard – and I don’t know if it is true – that we are the only film since the 1930s that has been allowed to shoot here, which is pretty special. We came here yesterday and we were having a debate whether this [the Pyramids] is man-made or made by aliens. That is really where my head is.

QUESTION: Does being a big-screen action girl mean that there are problems with make-up when it runs in high temperatures?
MEGAN FOX: Mike (director Michael Bay) doesn’t really like having hair and make-up on set and I don’t like sitting in the make-up chair for more than an hour, so they get it done very fast. If it runs, it runs and it’s gone. So they light you really well and you go about your day in this movie.

QUESTION: Sand and hair don’t go?
MEGAN FOX: You’re wrong! When I was in New Mexico and they would style my hair and we had helicopters so we were getting beaten by a sandstorm and that made it [hair] look really sexy. So sand is good for your hair. It looks great!
