Megan Fox is an incredibly loved actress amongst her younger fanbase. She is well known for depicting her characters in the most unique yet realistic ways, specifically in movies like Jennifer’s Body and Till Death. She has also been part of massive projects like the Mark Wahlberg franchise Transformers franchise and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Actors, very often, have to do some extremely bizarre things during auditions in order to convince directors that they are right for a particular role. Fox has quite an odd experience with the Transformers director, Michael Bay when she auditioned for her role in the franchise.
Did Megan Fox Wash Michael Bay’s Car For An Audition?
Film Critic, Jason Solomon revealed that Megan Fox talked to him about the audition process for her getting the role of Mikaela Bane in Transformers. Solomon stated that the actress told him that she was asked to go to Michael Bay’s house, where she was asked to wash his Ferrari while he filmed her.
While this must have been quite odd for the actress, she mentioned that she does not know what Bay did with the footage.

“She told me she went to director Michael Bay’s house to audition and he made her wash his Ferrari while he filmed her. She said she didn’t know what had happened to that footage. When I put it to Bay himself, he looked suitably abashed. “Er, I don’t know where it is either.”” Stated Solomon.
When Solomon asked Bay on this subject, he looked visibly uncomfortable and simply stated that he didn’t know where the footage was either. Years later, Fox revealed that she in fact did not wash his car, instead, enacted a scene from the script with a wrench.
Megan Fox Hated Working With Transformer’s Director, Michael Bay
Megan Fox’s destain towards Michael Bay is quite a well-known fact about her and something she has been very vocal about. She has even gotten into trouble for comparing him to Hitler and Napoleon. One of the main reasons the actress feels this way is due to the director’s working style as well as the misogynistic direction in his movies.
“Those are literally his directions some times. “Be Hot.” I’ve had that note on set before. “Mike,” I’ll say, “Who am I talking to? Where am I supposed to be looking at?” And he responds, “Just be sexy.” I get mad when people talk to me like that.” She stated.
The actress elaborated that during filming, he would often ask her to basically act like s*x symbol, continuously asking her to focus on that aspect of her character, rather than her performance. It would seem that Fox being an actor did not matter to Bay as much as her being attractive did. This clearly infuriated the actress.
