Fox: I can be myself in comedies

Megan Fox

Megan Fox has revealed she was glad to take a break from sexy ice-queen roles for new comedy film The Dictator.

The star, best known for playing Mikaela Banes in the Transformers movies, has a cameo turn as a prostitute in the new flick from Borat funnyman Sacha Baron Cohen.

She told The Sun: "When I first started acting I was always playing the b****y or mean girl, then I was playing these cool, robotic women.

"I was growing tired of playing those kinds of characters and reinforcing this stereotype of me and having to play up to that when I was doing interviews. Now I feel I can be myself again. It's given me the chance to get away from that sexy, icy image that I've been stuck with."

The 25-year-old added: "I think the public can relate to me more easily in these kinds of movies."

Megan - who next stars in comedy This Is 40 alongside Jason Segel, Paul Rudd and Chris O'Dowd, said of co-star Sacha: "I had a wonderful time. Sacha is very smart and funny. We had a great time working together."

Gemini:

You never do anything in moderation. Attend every fun party, accept every juicy offer and try all the delectable treats spread before you. Avoid unpleasant people and activities like the plague. This should be a time of enjoyment. Leave your list of chores at home. You can always attend to these jobs at another time. If you have a chance to show your creative work to a publisher, manager or agent, go ahead. This is also a great opportunity to go on job interviews, auditions and first dates.More
