Fox: 'Michael Bay is like Hitler'

Rex Features

Megan Fox has continued her feud with Michael Bay by comparing him to Napoleon and Adolf Hitler.

Speaking to Wonderland Magazine, the actress likened her Transformers director to a "tyrant" on set.

"He's like Napoleon and he wants to create this insane, infamous mad-man reputation," she remarked. "He wants to be like Hitler on his sets, and he is. So he's a nightmare to work for but when you get him away from set, and he's not in director mode, I kind of really enjoy his personality because he's so awkward, so hopelessly awkward."

Fox went on to say that Bay has "no social skills at all".

"It's endearing to watch him," she added. "He's vulnerable and fragile in real life and then on set he's a tyrant. Shia [LaBeouf] and I almost die when we make a Transformers movie. He has you do some really insane things that insurance would never let you do."

Bay earlier said that Fox is prone to saying "ridiculous things".
