3. Michael Bay Made Fox Wash His Ferrari As Part Of Her Audition For Transformers
No wonder she called him Hitler! Yes, Michael Bay supposedly asked Megan Fox - then a nobody - to wash his Ferrari as part of her audition for the original Transformers movie, which sounds totally creepy until you hear the reasoning behind it. Oh, no, wait, the reasoning behind still makes it sound creepy: Bay wanted to see how a "sexy scene" might look on camera and, uh, that was his reasoning? Jason Solomans, a writer for the Guardian, had this to say on the matter:
"Theres a video of Megan Fox we want to see. When the sizzling star went to director Michael Bays house to audition for the part, He made her wash his Ferrari while he filmed her. She said she didnt know what had happened to that footage. When I put it to Bay himself, he looked suitably abashed - Er, I dont know where it is either.'"
Yeah, right, Michael! You know exactly where it is, pal! Now cough up the goods.
