In an interview with British GQ, "Transformers" beauty Megan 여우 talked about recreational drug use. But after the interview, 여우 explained her quote was taken out of context.
While on the final leg of a whirlwind, international press tour to publicize her starring role (opposite Hollywood young turk Shia LaBeouf) in the highly-anticipated, CGI-dominated, blockbuster-to-be, mega-sequel Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, Megan 여우 has been busy answering 질문 about drug use.
When the gorgeous, 23-year-old 여우 isn’t signing thousands of autographs, answering countless ridiculous media inquiries and smiling for the cameras while strolling down the red carpet, she's had to address 질문 after her confession to British GQ (Gentleman’s Quarterly) about her regular use of recreational drugs. According to Fox, her quote, taken from a lengthy interview for the publication, was misconstrued, taken out of context and was completely misunderstood.
“I wouldn’t call it recreational drug use, because that makes it sound like I’m going to clubs and doing cocaine, things like that,” the Tennessee-born beauty explains. “I talked about the legalization of marijuana, which I think in the United States it should be. If alcohol is legal, I don’t see why we still have a ban on marijuana, that’s all.”
When challenged about the kind of message her advocacy of smoking pot sends to her young female 팬 contingency, 여우 – dressed in stunning Michael Kors designer duds – cleverly 답변 her inquisitor with her own question, rhetorically asking, “How is it going to influences 10-year-old girls? Well, are they really 읽기 British GQ?”
Fox’s seemingly overnight success, brought on 의해 the worldwide success of 트랜스포머 — director Michael Bay’s live-action adaptation of the animated cartoon series about battling factions of skyscraper-sized robots who can mutate into anything mechanical, from hot rod cars to 잼 boxes — has transformed the young actress into the hottest, latest cover girl for the tabloids. She has also had an imaginary target painted on her back for the predatory-like paparazzi.
여우 will be making what she calls a "cameo" in the 2010 drama Jonah Hex.
She is also going to be looking for laughs in screenwriter Diablo Cody’s (Juno) new comedy Jennifer’s Body, and is rumored to be taking over Angelina Jolie’s role as Lara Croft in the cinematic rebooting of Tomb Raider. It's Internet chatter she coyly denies.So far, 여우 has been able put her success into perspective and realistically deal with the perils of fame, fortune and the intense public interest about her life once the cameras stop rolling.
“I don’t know if 당신 are ever prepared for the public scrutiny, there’s no way to prepare yourself for it,” she laments. “But it is a part of your job, and it’s maybe not the most pleasant part, but I get to experience so many other things that are blessings that I should not be able to experience. I've been able to be a part of some films that I don't really feel like I deserve to be a part of and that’s due greatly, in part 또는 solely, to the success of Transformers. So that’s the trade off.”
