Michael Bay is an Asshole
When Michael Bay auditioned Megan Fox for Transformers, he did it in the most professional way possible, in an office with a script and a bunch of casting agents. Oh, kidding. That's how someone who doesn't hate women would audition a woman. Instead he just made her wash his car.But the star's start in Hollywood was anything but glamorous, after director Michael Bay made her clean his expensive car as part of her audition for the role, according to U.K. broadcaster Jason Solomons.
He writes in his film column for the Observer newspaper, "He made her wash his Ferrari while he filmed her." (Source)
God, no wonder she hates him so much. The only way this would be remotely acceptable is if, likewise, he made Shia LaBeouf dress up in a French Maid costume and clean his solid gold toilets for his audition. In which case, I'm all for that. Really, if it's one thing these snot-nosed young actors and actresses need these days is manual labor with a good dose of humilation.
Megan Fox arriving at Letterman last month:
You know, she seems OK with being objectified. I'm not defending him because he's a pig and a terrible director to boot, but she could have walked out of an audition like that, right?
I agree with eggy weggs, she does a pretty good job objectifying herself.
She has a knack for keeping herself in the spotlight and I have no problem with that. Nonetheless, he's a friggin pig and I hope she mumbled to herself the entire time "Don't forget, you're using him...Don't forget you're using him..." In the end, he's a damned pig and a lousy director and she's in the spotlight each and every day.
