Model-actress Megan Foxx has revealed she is not "narcissistic" and loves to lead a normal life.
"I would say most people assume that I'm not very smart or educated or earnest, because I have this image that I'm sort of narcissistic, chasing attention, and wanting people to like me," Fox said.
"It makes me laugh because I've done plenty of interviews and when you read the article from beginning to end you can see that I'm not your typical music video model," she said.
The 28-year-old star, who became a household name after appearing in the first and second "Transformers" films, said she "had no idea" what she was doing when she first took on the role in 2007.
"In Transformers I was a kid, I had no idea what I was doing. There was nothing for me to do (in that movie), but then I did nothing and that was my own call," she explained of her criticised breakout role opposite Shia LaBeouf, which she was ultimately fired from after comparing working with Michael Bay to Hitler.
"I don't take it personally because in some ways I acknowledge and agree. But at the same time... Established comedians and Quentin Tarantino have come up to me and said, 'I really liked Jennifer's Body, you were really good in that'. The people whose opinions matter liked it, so I'm OK with that," she said.
