Megan Fox and Josh Brollin Interview
JOSH: However Megan was perceived, I liked the idea of giving somebody - even though this is a kind of an absurd ridiculous escapist film - the opportunity like someone gave me in saying "hey we can go a little further with the acting here. Even though we made it fun, Megan did a lot of different takes where she's crying, not crying. There some of a dialect there and bucolic dialect. But when I read some of these articles that she had done and was kind of acerbic and rebellious she could be - I wanted to see how real that was.
Nobody can handle that kind of fame that fast at 22 years old and I thought she was handling it really well. I just wanted to see she was the real deal. I wanted to see if she could go head to head with John and hold her own. There's definitely a truck driver mentality there.
MEGAN: I think it's wonderful what they're saying it and I'm humbled by their comments.
People who are famous and make it to this level of fame for whatever reason whether it'd deserved or not - you have to be a strong person to survive it because it is very difficult to be under the microscope every moment of every day. Everything that leaves your mouth becomes this sensationalized newstory no matter what your intentions were when you said it. It becomes overwhelming but am I that rebellious? Of course I think there are many sides to me who I am in my personality. The only thing that is rebellious about me is that I don't really have any fears as far as this industry is concerned that maybe other people are afraid to do or say. In my personal life, I am actually very responsible with my personal relationships and things like that.
JOSH: Rebellion could be holding on to your own integrity of not playing into the idea of this sensationalizing. We all have our moments. and that's your guy's job to take those moments and turgid - gaseous and make it big. It's bigger than the person is. And when you start believing your own press that's when it gets really sad. But that's part of the rebellion that I responded because she is still her. She's still very grounded.
