Transformers director Michael Bay has hit back at Megan Fox’s claims that his movies, filled with special effects and features, do not offer many acting opportunities.
“Well, that’s Megan Fox for you. She says some very ridiculous things because she’s 23 years old and she still has a lot of growing to do. You roll your eyes when you see statements like that and think, ‘Okay Megan, you can do whatever you want. I got it,'” Bay said in an interview with The Wall Street Journal this week.
Michael notes that his movies have helped launch the careers of several of Hollywood top stars.
`”But I 100% disagree with her,” he continued. “Nick Cage wasn’t a big actor when I cast him, nor was Ben Affleck before I put him in Armageddon. Shia LaBeouf wasn’t a big movie star before he did Transformers – and then he exploded. Not to mention Will Smith and Martin Lawrence, from Bad Boys. Nobody in the world knew about Megan Fox until I found her and put her in Transformers. I like to think that I’ve had some luck in building actors’ careers with my films.”
