The pro-life attitude might not permeate Hollywood [1], but this actress isn’t afraid to speak up.
Megan Fox, once hailed by the media [2] as FHM Men’s Magazine [3]’s “Sexiest Woman in the World [4],” graced the cover of Cosmopolitan’s August issue. For her latest piece, Cosmo’s Laurie Sandell interviewed [5] the 28-year-old “Transformers” star on everything from Hollywood to sexuality. A mother of two, Fox explained how pregnancy is “hot” by defining it as “creating a life.”
When Sandell asked if pregnancy was “hot or not?” Fox replied with “hot.” “You are creating a life inside you,” she said, “who will become a person who will change the course of history, no matter what they do.”
Continuing her praise of pregnancy, Fox told Sandell “there’s a power that comes with having a child” because “you’ve done something incredible that no man could ever do or understand.”
But, a star in the upcoming “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,” Fox confessed her career imposes on motherhood. “I’m grateful for my career, but I also resent it because it takes me away from the thing I feel I’m meant to be doing,” she admitted. At another point, she disclosed, “Once you become a mother, especially a working mother, you feel like you can never give enough of yourself.”
Another issue Fox considered “hot”? Monogamy. “There’s no other option. You can’t be in a relationship without monogamy,” she expressed.
The story showed a different side of Cosmo, which so often promotes the end of pregnancy [6].
