She's also known for speaking her mind.
Fox is apparently in couple's therapy after having recently split with her boyfriend, Brian Austin Green (Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles). Discussing her male counterparts in the industry during a recent interview in the June issue of Esquire magazine, the young actress didn't hold back: "Actors aren't necessarily the most intelligent guys you're ever gonna come across," she said. "They're so easily manipulated that if you have any sort of control over your own sexuality, they're just f****d."
Ouch.
In the magazine, Fox talks about her sexual confidence, "I'm just really confident sexually, and I think that sort of oozes out of my pores. It's just there. It's something I don't have to turn on" … but perhaps even more interestingly, discusses how she has no desire to be like Scarlett Johansson—who she quite clearly sees as a rival of some sort, despite an assertion to the contrary.
"I don't want to have to be like a Scarlett Johansson—who I have nothing against," Fox said. "But I don't want to have to go on talk shows and pull out every single SAT word I've every learned to prove, like, 'Take me seriously, I am intelligent, I can speak.'"
"I don't want to have to do that," she adds. "I resent having to prove that I'm not a retard—but I do. And part of it is my own fault."
We'd love to hear the guys — and gals — take on this one. While we don't focus on celebrity gossip here, Fox's participation in one of the summer's biggest tentpole franchises makes her an obvious target of both male lechery and ridicule. What do you think? Is she justified in openly flaunting her sexuality while at the same time lamenting that's she's viewed as "a retard?" Chime in below…
