You know that you must say some pretty dumb things if one of the worst directors ever thinks so too.
After we named Transformers star Megan Fox as one of Hollywood’s dumbest celebrities, Transformers director Michael Bay has agreed. Megan was quoted as saying that Bay spends most of the movie on the action and very little on the acting. To that, Bay told the Wall Street Journal, “Well, that’s Megan Fox for you. 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.’”
Michael Bay even disagrees that his movies aren’t about acting. “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 Lawrence, from Bad Boys,” he continues to the Wall Street Journal. “Nobody in the world knew about Megan Fox until I found her and put her in Transformers,” he says. “I like to think that I’ve had some luck in building actors’ careers with my films.”
I mean, he actually has a point here. Never in my life did I think that I’d actually agree with something that Michael Bay is saying. Hopefully Megan will take this as a cue that she should grow up and learn to how to speak properly. I mean, I’ll miss stupid Megan Fox quotes, but it’s just something I’ll have to get over.

Well, he really doesn’t have a point, because none of those actors (or actress) are known for their acting. If he did improve their careers, which I’m not arguing he did, it’s not because people took note of their acting in the movies, it’s because people took note of the movie, and they were in them. I can honestly say I have never met one person who like Nick Cage because of his acting. Same with Ben Affleck, and Martin Lawrence. People appreciate WIll Smith’s acting because of movies like Ali and Seven Pounds. I like Shia LeBouf, not because of his acting though, he’s a funny kid, and really thats about as far as he goes. He’s an alright actor, he’s not terrible, but he’s not really good either. And Megan Fox, well, we all know what she’s know for, and it’s not acting. But I agree with her, Transformers 2 had no discernible plot, nothing made sense, but it was entertaining as hell, and that is a Michael Bay movie.
