10 Actors’ Confessions on the Hated Roles That Made Them Famous

6. Megan Fox

Before catching her big blockbuster break, Fox held small roles in films like Holiday in the Sun and Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen. Then, in 2007 Fox landed the role as Mikaela Banes in Michael Bay’s box office hit Transformers. The brunette beauty stated that she didn’t want to completely badmouth the movie series because she’s aware of what it did for her career. However, she did tell the press that the movie “isn’t really about acting” and she knew that when the director yelled “‘action,’ she’d be running, or screaming, or both.” Fox also stated that Michael Bay was “a madman,” and that working for him was “a nightmare.” Fox starred in the movie’s sequel Revenge of the Fallen, but did not reprise her role for the third film after she was fired from the franchise.
