Megan Fox Sounds Off On Overexposure And That 'Body' In Nylon: Cover Story

Megan Fox is at it again. In just the last year, the young actress and cover-girl has admitted to cutting herself in Rolling Stone, shared how to pick up guys in Cosmo and discussed her "provocative nature" with Entertainment Weekly.

Now, she's telling Nylon why she feels overexposed after "Transformers" and completely exposed in "Jennifer's Body."

Megan, who was recently boycotted (for like one whole day) by some men's sites, claims the media blitz for "Transformers" caused her to over-extend her welcome in the spotlight. "I was part of a movie that [the studio] wanted to make sure would make $700 million, so they oversaturated the media with their stars," says Megan, about the movie, which for better or worse, made her a household name.

Unlike many aspiring stars her age (she's only 23), Megan says she doesn't want to be in magazines every week or the Internet every day. "I don’t want to have people get completely sick of me before I’ve ever even done something legitimate."

Legitimacy is exactly what she hoped to achieve with her role in the recently released "Jennifer's Body," a dark comedy that doesn't rely on special effects or big explosions.

"That’s no hiding from anything. There’s nothing there to distract you from my performance," she said. "So if it’s bad, it’s going to be f***ing bad for me. And if it’s good, then I will have achieved something on some level.”

Megan also opened up to Nylon about being portrayed as a vixen. “I think people assume that I’m much more sexual than I am,” she says. Of course, her racy pictures in numerous men's magazines haven't done much to contradict that image. But Megan says that's not really her, it's just her way of poking fun at the situation. Right, whatever you say, Megs.

“I tend to have fun doing that, sort of mocking the fact that I’m doing men’s magazines," she says. "Like, yeah, I’m in f***ing underwear. I have ice dripping out of my mouth. I’m gonna give an interview that seems appropriate with that photo shoot."

To her credit though, the photos that accompany the Nylon piece (click on the photo above to see them all), are much more toned down, possibly to reflect the tone of the article. At least she's a woman of her word?
