Megan Fox has "never" appreciated her own body and battles body
dysmorphia.
The 37-year-old actress has discussed her struggles with body image and
acknowledged that she doesn't perceive herself as most people do.
I suffer body dysmorphia, she said to the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit
Issue. I never truly perceive myself the way other people do.
"I have never enjoyed my physique at any time in my life. Absolutely
never.
The 'Jennifer's Body' star acknowledged that seeing oneself as attractive
has been a "never-ending" process for her.
"That was like an obsession I had when I was little, that I should look
THIS way," she continued.
I'm not sure why I was conscious of my body at such an early age. I believe
that the road toward embracing oneself will never cease.
Megan said that she wanted people to focus on her "aura" rather than her
physical looks when they first met her.
I want everyone would notice my aura since it's unique and I have a rainbow
aura, she remarked.
Megan asserted last summer, despite her lack of confidence, that she would
have gone "naked everywhere" in 2009 if it weren't for the family-friendly
"Transformers" film franchise's executives forbidding her from
disrobing.
She stated to the Evening Standard, "My year of peak fame was 2009."
'Transformers' press tour's second leg was when it happened.
Back then, I would have gone completely nude everywhere, but that was not
permitted.
She also retaliated against other women who teased one another for
attempting to seem seductive after giving birth, calling it evidence of a
"patriarchal" culture that must be destroyed.
Megan, a mother of three who shares a 48-year-old ex-husband with boys Noah
Shannon Green, 10, Bodhi Ransom Green, 9, and Journey River Green, 6, lashed
out, saying: "What awful message for women to offer each other. What happens
once you reach key life milestones and have children? Why should you no
longer be seductive?
"After giving birth to a kid, you ought to feel and be sexier than
before.
"We need to shed this very misogynistic, patriarchal idea that has been
imposed on women."
