Fox is of Irish, French and Native American ancestry and was born in Oak Ridge, Tennessee to Darlene Tonachio and Franklin Foxx, who dropped an “x” from his surname. She has one older sister.Fox’s parents divorced when she was young and she and her sister were raised by her mother and her stepfather.She said that the two were “very strict” and that she wasn’t allowed to have a boyfriend. She lived with her mother until she made enough money to support herself.

Fox began her training in drama and dance at age five, in Kingston, Tennessee. She attended a dance class at the community center there and was involved in Kingston Elementary School’s chorus and the Kingston Clippers swim team. At 10 years of age, after moving to St. Petersburg, Florida, Fox continued her training. When she was 13 years old, Fox began modeling after winning several awards at the 1999 American Modeling and Talent Convention in Hilton Head, South Carolina. Fox attended Morningside Academy,a private Christian school, for her middle school years and finished her high school education at St. Lucie West Centennial High School, though at 17 she was tested out of school via correspondence.

Fox has spoken extensively of her time in education; that in middle school she was bullied and picked on and she ate lunch in the bathroom to avoid being “pelted with ketchup packets”. She said that the problem was not her looks, but that she had “always gotten along better with boys” and that “rubbed some people the wrong way”. Fox also said of high school that she was never popular and that “everyone hated me, and I was a total outcast, my friends were always guys, I have a very aggressive personality, and girls didn’t like me for that. I’ve had only one great girlfriend my whole life”. In the same interview, she mentions that she hated school and has never been “a big believer in formal education” and that “the education I was getting seemed irrelevant. So, I was sort of checked out on that part of it”.

Comparison to Angelina Jolie

Fox has often been compared to actress Angelina Jolie, with the media dubbing her as “next Angelina Jolie”.Fox has been compared to Jolie because they each have a “tattoo collection”, and status as a “built in sex-symbol”. Fox commented that the comparisons indicate a lack of creativity on the part of the media, and are simply due to the dark hair and tattoos that she and Jolie have, and that both have been in action movies. There were several unconfirmed rumors that Fox was to replace Jolie in the next Lara Croft film.

Fox also said of the comparisons that: “I am a brunette with tattoos, I curse and I have made mention of sex before. I joked about it which people find outrageous so they want to constantly compare that to her.” Fox has said that she had not had the opportunity to meet Jolie, but has tried “to avoid that because I’m afraid,” because “she’s a powerful person and I bet she would eat me alive”.Fox also continued with and remarked that, “I’m sure she has no idea who I am. But if I were her, I’d be like, ‘Who the fuck is this little bullshit brat who was in Transformers that’s going to be the next me?’ I don’t want to meet her. I’d be embarrassed.”

Tattoos

Fox has eight known tattoos, including her ex-fiancé’s name “Brian” on her lower hip and a picture of Marilyn Monroe’s face on her right forearm.

Fox also has another tattoo on her right shoulder that reads, “We will all laugh at gilded butterflies” a line adapted from William Shakespeare’s play King Lear, a yin and yang tattoo on her left inner wrist, a poem on the left side of her rib cage that reads “there once was a little girl who never knew love until a boy broke her HEART,” and a Chinese word for “strength” on her neck. Fox also has a crescent moon overlapping a five pointed star on the inner aspect of her lower leg above her right ankle.This tattoo is the only known colored tattoo that Fox has.

Fox said she has a Marilyn Monroe tattoo because, “she was one of the first people I saw on television, like, literally moments after I was born. Every time I heard her voice growing up I always would cry. I wouldn’t know why when I was younger but had my own theories” and that Fox has always “empathized” with her.

Fox had shown interest in getting her yin/yang tattoo removed remarking that the tattoo artist “didn’t do it correctly” because he was under the influence of marijuana; however, Fox still has that tattoo as of August 2009. Fox has said of her tattoos that when she gets a tattoo, “It’s a little ‘fuck you’ to anyone who tells me not to.”

Personal life

Fox has been involved with actor Brian Austin Green since 2004, having first met on the set of Hope & Faith.[3][4] In 2006, the two got engaged, but said they had not had any marriage plans. It was reported that the couple had ended their relationship in July 2008 and in February 2009; however, Fox and Green both confirmed on both occasions that the two are still in a relationship.

On June 15, 2009, at the UK premiere of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, Fox stated that she was single; however, she was later seen with Green and the media is reporting that the two are in a relationship again. Green also appeared in the SNL Digital Short “Megan’s Roommate” in the Season 35 premiere episode of Saturday Night Live, which Fox hosted.

Fox is good friends with Jennifer Blanc, Kellan Rhude, Jennifer’s Body co-star Amanda Seyfried, Michael Biehn and Transformers co-star Shia LaBeouf. She is both a fan of comic books, anime, and video games, and has said that her interest in art began at 12 years old, when she watched animated shows during Adult Swim on the Cartoon Network. Fox’s favorite artist is Michael Turner whose Fathom comic she describes as a longtime obsession.

Fox has two dogs, including a Pomeranian named after the punk-icon Sid Vicious. Fox has openly stated that she has taken drugs, and that it has meant she knows she doesn’t like them, adding that she knows a few people who aren’t on drugs, herself included. Fox has also openly stated that she supports the legalization of marijuana, saying that she does not consider it a drug and that she would be first in line to buy a pack of joints.

In September 2008, Fox alluded to being bisexual; in an interview with GQ magazine, she said that when she was 18 years old she fell in love with and sought to establish a relationship with a female stripper.

She used this experience to illustrate her belief that “all humans are born with the ability to be attracted to both sexes” and additionally showed interest in Olivia Wilde and Jenna Jameson. In May 2009, she confirmed her bisexuality. In the June 2009 issue of ELLE, however, she stated that she somewhat distorted the events of her relationship with the stripper, saying she has given certain male writers “an amped-up version” of her past.

“They’re boys; they’re easily toyed with,” she said. “I tell stories and have them eating out of my hand. Not all of it is true. In fact, most of it is bullshit.”Fox said, “I never said she was my girlfriend! I just said that I loved her, and I did love her. The real story is more sobering. It’s not a sexy, fun-time, fantasy story. But that’s not the story you tell GQ.” On June 15, 2009, at the UK premiere of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, Fox revealed having a crush on Cheryl Cole and a love for Cole’s tattoos. During an appearance in June 2009, on the The Kyle and Jackie O Show, she stated that she is interested in male Korean pop singer Rain.

Fox has additionally been open about her insecurities, and self-harming. She also acknowledges that she has low self-esteem:“Yeah. But I don’t want to elaborate. I would never call myself a cutter. Girls go through different phases when they’re growing up, when they’re miserable and do different things, whether it’s an eating disorder or they dabble in cutting. I’m really insecure about everything. I see what I look like, but there are things that I like and things that I dislike. My hair is good. The color of my eyes is good, obviously. I’m too short.

But overall, I’m not super excited about the whole thing. I never think I’m worthy of anything… I have a sick feeling of being mocked all the time. I have a lot of self-loathing. Self-loathing doesn’t keep me from being happy. But that doesn’t mean I don’t struggle. I am very vulnerable. But I can be aggressive, hurtful, domineering and selfish, too. I’m emotionally unpredictable and all over the place. I’m a control freak.”

Further, Fox has a fear of flying; she said she developed this about the time she turned 20. She has had to come up with ways to deal with it in order to avoid having panic attacks when getting onto a plane, most notably by listening to Britney Spears songs. In addition, she has expressed a distrust of men. “I just don’t like them or trust them,” stated Fox.
