Megan Fox: "I Like to Pretend I'm More Attractive Than I Am"

Megan Fox has an interesting way of dealing with the scrutiny of the Hollywood limelight. "I don't think I'm hideous or unattractive," the actress told Extra during a junket for her upcoming film Jonah Hex. So how does she view herself?"I just like to pretend in my mind I'm more attractive than I am, so seeing pictures confirms I'm wrong," she told Extra.

In her latest (Western) flick, Megan plays Josh Brolin's sexy, prostitute girlfriend who is not afraid to use a gun.

"I do like playing that because it's nothing like what I actually am. I'm actually really vulnerable," Megan said of her role.

Josh is a big advocate of his co-star, and feels she keeps a mystery about her by not partying too much.

"She's not out drinking, going to rehab and doing all those things," he told Extra.

As for all the negative rumors revolving Megan's departure from the Transformers franchise, Josh also defends the actress and hails her as a stand-up person.

"Once in a while will say something that is so exploited and blown out of proportion that it makes us as readers perceive her as something that she's not," he said.
