Michael Bay Made Megan Fox Wash Ferrari for Transformers Audition
Michael Bay certainly has a strange way of conducting auditions for his films.
Australian actress Isabel Lucas auditioned in the front seat of his car.
Megan Fox auditioned on his car. And Bay filmed it.
According to Jason Solomons of Britain’s Guardian, Fox’s first Transformers audition involved the buxom brunette washing Bay’s Ferrari… while he filmed it.
“[Bay] made her wash his Ferrari while he filmed her,” Solomons said. “[Fox] said she didn’t know what had happened to that footage. When I put it to Bay himself, he looked suitably abashed – ‘Er, I don’t know where it is either.’”
Sounds like someone’s taken that particular video for their private collection. Hmm.

Megan Fox is Ridiculous, Says Director
We all knew it, and now Fox’s Transformers director Michael Bay has come forward and admitted that yes, Megan Fox is a tad ridiculous.
This statement comes after Fox, 23, slammed her own movie – yes, you heard it right – and the direction of blockbuster movie maker Michael Bay.
Fox recently told Entertainment Weekly: “I mean, I can’t s— on this movie because it did give me a career and open all these doors for me. But I don’t want to blow smoke up people’s a–. People are well aware that this is not a movie about acting.”
Bay’s response? He “100 percent disagrees” with Fox.
“Well, that’s Megan Fox for you,” the director told Wall Street Journal. “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.’”
The director then went on to name-drop just a little bit, a sort of Hollywood A-List justification that no, his movies don’t suck after all, and yes, they’re all about the acting. Kinda.
“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 Lawerence, from Bad Boys,” Bay said.
He added: “Nodoby 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.”
In others words, Bay is telling Fox to be a little more grateful, because he’s the reason she’s famous.
If I was Bay, I’d just cast some Megan Fox look-a-like in the third Transformers film and be done with it. And then say tough titties, Megan.
