She was enjoying a romantic holiday in Hawaii when Michael Bay revealed the world's worst kept secret, that Megan Fox was sacked from Transformers 3 - and the franchise the made her a star. Then it appeared the the 25-year-old beauty, and husband Brian Austin Green, 37, who she married on the island last year, had been completely unaffected by the media storm back home. But the actress has clearly come back down to earth with a bump upon her return to L.A. and the world of film-making, as he faces the career shattering ramifications.
Even a romantic meal at Nobu in Malibu with Green couldn't live the raven-haired beauty's spirits. Looking stressed and tired, Fox - who had opted for muted shades - appeared to be a shadow of the nymph who frolicked on the beach last week as revelations broke. But then she is dealing with a diss from one of the biggest heavyweights in film-making. Hollywood legend Steven Spielberg demanded Megan Fox be fired from the latest Transformers film, it was confirmed by Bay last week. The director revealed the truth about the about the actress' dismissal in an interview with this month's GQ magazine. Spielberg was outraged after the screen beauty compared Bay to Hitler during a press interview. The actress was quickly dumped from the film and replaced by British model Rosie Huntingdon-Whitley.
Fox had tried to claim she left the third in the series of the films to pursue other acting opportunities. But ahead of the July 4 premiere of Transformers 3 director Bay has revealed for the first time he was told to get rid of the actress. He told GQ magazine: 'You know the Hitler thing. Steven (Spielberg) said, fire her right now.' Spielberg is executive producer of the film which stars Shia LaBeouf.
Fox had appeared in the first two Transformers films and the roles helped her be named one of the sexiest women in the world. She had been cast in the third film but shortly before production began she gave an interview to the British magazine Wonderland. In it she said Bay wanted to be like Hitler on his sets. Other crew members from the film hit back on a blog comparing Fox's acting to that of a porn star.
In an open letter posted on Michael Bay's website the crew member wrote: 'Michael found this shy, inexperienced girl, plucked her out of total obscurity thus giving her the biggest shot of any young actresses' life. 'He told everyone around to just trust him on his choice. He granted her the starring role in Transformers, a franchise that forever changed her life; she became one of the most googled and oogled women on earth. 'She was famous! She was the next Angelina Jolie, hooray! Wait a minute, two of us worked with Angelina – second thought – she's no Angelina. You see, Angelina is a professional. 'We know this quite intimately because we've had the tedious experience of working with the dumb-as-a-rock Megan Fox on both Transformers movies.'
