Quick Bio from AskMen.com
Born in Tennessee on May 16, 1986, Megan Denise Fox started taking drama and dance lessons at the age of five and thrived from the very beginning. Despite a move to Florida when she was 10, Megan's parents did not let their youngest daughter forego her talent, and so the future actress continued her training.
By age 13, her dancing led to modeling opportunities and Fox excelled in this new arena. In 1999, she won several awards at the American Modeling and Talent Convention in Hilton Head, South Carolina. With this new credit, Fox began venturing into acting, and after she moved to Los Angeles, a future career in showbiz looked probable.Fox made her acting debut in 2001, appearing in the straight-to-video release
Holiday in the Sun, a
Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen film. She then garnered a recurring role in the low-key soap opera
Ocean Ave. and appeared in an episode of the
Amanda Bynes series
What I Like About You. 2004 was the year Fox joined the legion of female teens overtaking Hollywood, as she appeared alongside
Lindsay Lohan in
Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen, did the TV movie
Crimes of Fashion and secured a spot on the
Kelly Ripa-led sitcom
Hope & Faith.
As Hollywood began to take notice of this budding star, Megan started joining the ranks of her fellow female actresses by posing in photo spreads, like her 2005 shoot for
FHM. The following year, the magazine named her No. 68 on their 100 Sexiest Women of 2006 list. And in 2007, she continued her lasting relationship with the magazine for another spread in their March issue.
Megan's biggest break, however, came in 2007 when she was cast as the lead actress in the highly anticipated
Transformers movie, in which she plays Shia LaBoeuf's love interest.
