Megan Fox is opening up about her insecurities.
The “Transformers” actress recently sat down with GQ Style for a joint interview with boyfriend and rock star, Machine Gun Kelly.
The couple’s relationship has been on the fast track since getting together in 2020. Fox and Kelly met on the set of his music video for “Bloody Valentine.”
In the music video, the two waste no time getting all up in each other’s business and their on-screen chemistry translated VERY well in real life.

The two have basically been inseparable since, and walked countless red carpets together making their relationship official.
Most of the time you’ll see them with another PDA-filled couple, Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker.

Anyways, back to the actress’ interview. Fox revealed that despite oozing confidence and a rockin’ body, she doesn’t always feel as great as she looks on the outside.
"We may look at somebody and think, 'That person's so beautiful. Their life must be so easy,'" she told GQ Style's autumn/winter 2021 issue. "They most likely don't feel that way about themselves." The interviewer then asked Fox if this is how she feels about herself.
"Yeah, I have body dysmorphia," she admitted. "I have a lot of deep insecurities." These ‘deep insecurities’ were instilled in Fox early on in her career.

She was scrutinized and mistreated by the media, which led her to take a hiatus from acting to get in touch with her spirituality.
"I've done everything you can do to try to make sense of that," the actress continued about the comments she'd receive. "Because it's easy when you go through something like that to feel like a victim, obviously. That's your first instinct and response, but that doesn't serve you and that makes life miserable, living life as a victim. 'Why is this happening to me?' You're giving away your power constantly."
Stepping away from the limelight allowed Fox to detach from feeling like the ‘victim.’
“I did a lot of work to remove that feeling of being a victim and to realize that it was a lesson," she shared. "So, there was purpose in it and I didn't have to suffer any more.”
Supporting One Another!
She admitted it allowed her to grow into a ‘much more interesting human being.’
MGK also took this interview opportunity to gush about his girlfriend.
The Rockstar said, "She's helped me realize that you can't bury your trauma. No one knows anything about me. They don't know how deep that rabbit hole goes with my childhood and with everything that my body has stored in itself."
