Megan Fox: 'I was bullied at school'

Megan Fox has revealed that she was targeted by school bullies because she wanted to be an actress.

The Transformers star, who recently said that she avoids reading negative publicity about herself, claimed that her ambition made her unpopular when she was growing up.

Glamour quotes the 23-year-old as saying: "There were some evil girls in my school and I went to Christian high school. I was 15 and everybody knew that my aspiration in life was to become an actress."

She continued: "One girl came to school on Halloween in a black leather catsuit and everyone thought she was cat woman. She answered, 'No I am Megan Fox'. She was making fun of me. I didn't say anything to her. I was really shy."

Fox also said that she found it easier to bond with boys, saying: "I've always gotten along better with boys. That rubbed some people the wrong way. I was not ever for a second popular. Everyone hated me, and I was a total outcast."
