| Megan Fox On Giving Up Bread: “I Cry At Night Because Of It Posted: 13 Aug 2014 12:55 AM PDT From a flesh-eating cheerleader (Jennifer's Body) to an ass-kicking heroine (Transformers), Megan Fox has played many versions of the all-American fantasy. But her latest role, as ball-busting TV journalist April O'Neil in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles reboot, is the first time she's gotten to live out one of her film fantasies. "When I was a kid, I was genuinely in love with the Turtles series and franchise," she admits. Having recently welcomed her second son, Bodhi, with husband Brian Austin Green (their first, Noah, turns 2 in September), the 28-year-old bombshell dishes on staying fit after baby, how motherhood has changed her, and ditching her trademark tattoos. OK!: How intense was your childhood obsession with TMNT? Megan Fox: I had a crush on Michelangelo! When you're little, you do kind of have a crush on cartoon characters, as ridiculous as that sounds. Michelangelo was the comic relief, the one who never took anything too seriously — and now I can see that his personality echoed my father's. I think I was taken with him for that reason. OK!:Your character fights crime — but you were pregnant in real life! MF: I got pregnant 10 days into making this movie. I was hormonal, so I was sensitive and everything made me cry. When you're in your first trimester, all you want to do is lie in bed and watch movies — you definitely don't want to make an action movie, climbing fences and screaming! OK!: You gave birth to Bodhi just six months ago. How are you working to get your body back into shape? MF: It's just about eating differently. I don't eat bread anymore, and I cry at night because of it…. But, seriously, I'm just eating a lot of proteins, fruits and vegetables. [Eating well] actually makes you more efficient as a mother. You're able to expend more energy without being exhausted. OK!: You're known for your multiple tattoos. Is it true you're over them? MF: I want to get rid of a lot of them, because what makes sense to you when you're 18 doesn't make sense when you're 28 and have children. I don't want a portrait of Marilyn Monroe on my arm anymore. It's not significant to me, it doesn't represent where I'm going in my life. OK!: Has having kids changed you? MF: Yeah, it's made me so much more aware. You start asking all these questions — what is the purpose of this soul, and why did he choose me to be his mother? — that you didn't when you were younger, because they just weren't important to you. The only thing [I'm worried about] now is making sure my children are safe and happy. That's my biggest fear, every moment of every day. Source: OK Magazine |
| Megan Fox Got Sexy, Slim for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles From Healthy Diet, Intense Workout Routine Posted: 12 Aug 2014 09:11 PM PDT Move over turtles, Megan Fox is the true star of the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie! The stunning actress, 28, looks amazing in the reptilian romp, stealing the spotlight from Raphael, Michelangelo, Leonardo, and Donatello. Far from starving herself, Fox relies on a well-balanced diet to give her energy. “She eats carbs,” says the trainer, 40, who has also worked with Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, and Jennifer Hudson. “She just eats the right carbs. She has a low-sugar diet. It’s so sustainable, it’s so moderate, she’s not doing any zero this/zero that.” “She eats three meals and two snacks a day,” Pasternak continued. “She'll have protein, fiber, and healthy fat every meal. She is living a low-sugar lifestyle, definitely… She has definitely buckled down and she is amazing.” Whereas some stars rely on meal-delivery services, Fox prepares her food at home. “Here's a busy mom of two kids, well really three kids, and she's doing it,” he says. “She's sticking to it, and she realized she doesn't have to make elaborate meals in the kitchen. In the morning she'll do a smoothie or an egg white omelet with some avocado as healthy fats. And she'll have hummus and cut veggies as a snack and a salad with grilled chicken for lunch.” As for Fox’s exercise routine, the wife to Brian Austin Green and mother to son Noah, 22 months, and son Bodhi, 7 months, has been focusing on her strength. “She's someone who naturally doesn't love working out traditionally,” the fitness expert adds. “She has really adopted this great consistency and this great approach to working out; it started during her first pregnancy and has carried on through now.” To tone her muscles, Fox trains with Pasternak. “She's resistance training with me at least three days a week,” Pasternak tells Us. “They're short, these workouts. [We're] really focusing on the muscles behind her body and to draw her posture back. She was basically just pregnant for the better part of two years in between carrying babies. So we got strength in her upper back with back rows, dumbbell rows, and the lower back with the Superman [stretch] for lower back.” Fox adds in cardio with a machine called a Helix Lateral Trainer. “Look at her now,” he says. “She looks as good as she's ever looked if not better. Fox’s hard work clearly paid off as she looks incredible in TMNT — and on the red carpets of the press tour — which is seeing big success of its own. The action flick opened on Friday, Aug. 8, and won the weekend box office. The movie took the No. 1 spot with a weekend gross of $65.57 million, bringing in an additional $28.7 million abroad for a total weekend debut of $94.27 million. Source: US Magazine |
