Megan Fox says the media keeps comparing her to Angelina Jolie because people are desperate to put her “in a box”.
The Transformers star insists the only thing she has in common with the Tomb Raider actress is her love of tattoos.
“The media has to package you and sell you somehow and sell their magazines so everybody has to be ‘the new’ or ‘the next’ someone or something,” Fox said. “If I am not a party girl and they can’t sell me as that, and I’m not an Oscar winning actress and they can’t sell me as that, then they have to package me somehow and for some reason they latched on to the Angelina thing because I have a lot of tattoos.
“It was a way to market me and it was a way to sell their magazines or get hits on their blogs — because it makes people uncomfortable if they are unable to put you in a box.”
“I think it makes me more interesting. It’s definitely, clearly, very different,” she said. “I don’t really identify with the sex symbol thing and I don’t really know how to speak about it, it’s all very new to me.”
