Megan Fox has said that playing sexy characters can be vital for young stars to get attention and move on to better parts.

The Transformers star told Skymag that she is amused when other actresses complain about having to exploit their sexuality on film, Metro reports.

Fox said: "I've always laughed at actresses who complain about having to do sexy roles when they're starting out.

"Who are they kidding? That's the key to getting attention and moving on to better things."

She added: "'I grew up with this rebellious streak of not wanting to conform. I was sent to this strict Christian school that I hated and we were all told that the theory of evolution was wrong and sex was wrong. It was a nightmare.

"Women are supposed to project their sexuality yet there's this strange stigma when it comes to talking about sex. I'm not afraid to say how much I enjoy sex. I'm not shy."
