Megan Fox is an incredible actress, and her presence in the movie industry has been nothing short of a blessing. Nevertheless, there are some aspects of her job description that are eeky ASF!

Intimacy is a standard requirement of the job description of an actor or actress, among other things. Very few actors with extensive careers have avoided having on-screen kisses. Some have these scenes more than others, usually because their roles are streamlined towards romance films or films with high adult content.

In a recent interview with E! News, Fox was asked who was her favorite of all her on-screen kissing scenes and who she had it with. She immediately replied and said, “Shia LaBeouf.” She also said, “I mean, I would confirm that it was romantic. I love him. I’ve never been quiet about that.”

Fox Almost Cried After A Gross On-screen Kiss

Unfortunately, not all of Fox's on-screen kisses can be as good as the one with LaBeouf was. In a recent interview with GQ, the "Jennifer's Body" actress revealed that she doesn't like on-screen affection and avoids it when she can.

Fox said, "Oh, my God! It's f****** Gross. It's a super-intimate thing to do. Touching mouths? I have to really enjoy someone's personality, not just their looks, before I'll kiss them." She then recalled one kiss scene that made her extremely uncomfortable and ruined her mood for the rest of the day.

Fox didn't name the actor she had it with, but she did share details of the experience. She said, "This one kid I had to kiss had just eaten, and he passed a piece of whatever it was. I swear to God. Not on purpose. Like it was in his tooth or something? And it was really salty. I'm not making this up. I almost cried. I was a b**** for the rest of the day. God bless him; he was very sweet. But that's just gross."

Fox Said Acting Is Similar To Prostitution

In a GQ interview, Fox also shared that she thinks acting is similar to prostitution. She said, "Acting is a very weird thing. We get paid to feign attraction and love. When you think about it, we're kind of prostitutes."

She explained further and said, "Other people are paying to watch us kissing someone, touching someone, doing things people in a normal monogamous relationship would never do with anyone who's not their partner. It's really kind of gross."

She also revealed that this fake illusion of love is one of the things that convinced her not to have romantic relationships with any of her co-stars. She said, "I think that's never a good idea. It doesn't end well because it doesn't start from a legitimate place. It's like a weird brainwash situation."

According to a post by The Young Turks, Rogen tried his luck during a feature on Jimmy Kimmel Live. He said, "Often, the male guest takes it upon themselves to plant a small kiss perhaps on the cheek of the female guest as they come out, and I was thinking, 'When in my life will I ever get to kiss this woman? Now's my chance.' So, I tried to do it, and to my memory, she physically stopped me from doing it. And basically rejected me on television. That's how I remember it."
