Megan Fox Turns Down Bond

Megan Fox Is Too Good For Bond

In a shockingly bad career move (in our humble opinion, at least), Megan Fox has announced she’s turned down an offer to star opposite Daniel Craig in the next Bond film. Really!? The chance to join the prestigious list of female A-listers with the looks and brains to challenge and roll with Bond? (We’ll have to exclude Denise Richards from that list though.) Apparently, she’s just not impressed by the notion and feels the role wouldn’t really add anything to her career. Huh.

We know her standards are so ridiculously high, given her Oscar-worthy performances in Transformers and all, but this seems like a majorly Lindsay Lohan level misstep, no? She’s already making dumb moves like badmouthing those robot movies, claiming that Michael Bay’s blockbusters had nothing to offer her as an actress. Bay replied, “[Fox] has a lot of growing up to do ... No one in the world knew about Megan Fox until I found her and put her in ‘Transformers.’” Exactly. If Megan Fox wants people to start taking her precious career so seriously, she could start by getting rid of that crappy Marilyn Monroe tattoo. Luckily, we have some suggestions for her.

To her credit, we get that she might want to break out of the femme fatale typecasting. Sure. On the other hand, she’s done nothing to demonstrate that she actually has the acting chops she’s always moaning about. So there’s that. Anyone? [Entertainment One]

Methinks the beauty has no brains. Or at least advisors who are remiss in their duties.

I probably wouldn’t turn it down if I was her, but I actually agree with her decision. I guess the title “Bond girl” is nice, but it hasn’t catapulted anyone to a higher level of fame and fortune in a long time. I don’t even remember who played the female lead in Quantum of Solace, and Eva Green is gorgeous and well known, but not in a much better position than Megan Fox is, fame-wise.

It’s all about what you make of a role. Maybe she knows she does not have the talent to make something more of the Bond Girl role.

Ok this proves she really is a dumb bitch (as if I were looking for evidence).

I’m glad I don’t have to watch her in the next Bond film. Her acting was terrible in the first Transformers and absolutely awful in the second one. She is beautiful, yes, but please no more acting. Unless she is the next terminatrix - since it requires little-to-no acting (ala Kristanna Loken in T3).

She also talked trash on doing the WonderWoman movie. I guess Transformers should be Academy worthy enough to get her “serious” roles.
