1
We're back now at 8 -11 with one of the biggest names in Hollywood, Megan Fox.
2
She turned heads in the Transformer films, and now she gets her first title role in Jennifer's Body,
3
playing a small -town cheerleader possessed by a demon who feeds on high school boys.
4
This isn't really your house, is it?
5
No, baby.
6
This is our house.
7
Just for you and me.
8
We can play mommy and daddy.
9
No way.
10
I need you frightened.
11
I need you hopeless.
12
Megan Fox, good morning.
13
We just went to a point she was putting coffee down, nothing more sinister.
14
And you said to me earlier, this is a comedy.
15
You want people to know that.
16
You don't want to think this is hardcore horror.
17
Exactly.
18
It's not.
19
No, it's a it's a sort of irreverent dark comedy with some horror elements to it.
20
But people should should go into it.
21
Prepare to laugh, hopefully. To snicker.
22
So there are going to be some snickers here.
23
You're not looking for people to come up with serious critiques afterward.
24
Well, no, not of not if you're going in thinking you're going to see a slasher
25
or a thriller it's not that what what made you take this role
26
because you're in an unusual place in your career right now I'm sure stuck between this this wild popularity
27
that has been given to you or
28
that you've achieved through these movies these huge Transformers movies
29
and this other area where you want to be known as an actress
30
so so tell me about this role as it came along
31
and what made you say yes to it well the script I mean Diablo Cody wrote the script
32
and that's really all I needed to know before I even
33
opened it I wanted to be a part of something
34
that she she was a part of because she's so brilliant and i admire her and um
35
on the first page there's a belly laugh i laughed out loud reading
36
and there's a laugh on every page after that
37
so i you know i just had to be a part of it i thought
38
that the writing was unbelievably original and it was something
39
that we haven't seen in theaters in a long time a movie like this it feels very 80s
40
when you watch it let's stay on this place you're in right now though i I mean, how kind of delicate a situation do you find yourself in?
41
Your choices now are going to get analyzed a lot by
42
the people who either want to see you in one way
43
or aren't used to seeing you or want to see you in another way.
44
Right.
45
So how does that affect your decision -making?
46
I try to just do, I mean, mainly I'm just happy that I'm working and that I'm still working and I continue to get these opportunities,
47
but I try to make choices that are different from whatever project I was last working on.
48
And this is definitely very unique.
49
And then I've worked on a project since with Josh Brolin and John Malkovich.
50
And I've been lucky enough to surround myself with extremely talented people.
51
You have been very out front and honest about some of the movies you've done.
52
You said acting -wise you were terrible in the first Transformers.
53
And you said you tried very hard in the second. Which is very honest.
54
Does this allow you to expand, this role?
55
Well, I think it's not about allowing me to expand because that was never the issue.
56
I think I'm just new, you know.
57
I'm very green still and trying to figure things out and wanting to become better.
58
And this was definitely a more complex character for me
59
because there's a lot going on with her and a lot going on with all the characters in the movie.
60
So it was a lot of work.
61
I put a lot of effort into it.
62
You're also outspoken about your personal life.
63
You said this, and I think it surprised a lot of people.
64
Don't get nervous.
65
You don't have to laugh.
66
I'm so nervous.
67
You said, I'm really insecure about everything.
68
I never think I'm worthy of anything.
69
I have a sick feeling of being mocked all the time.
70
I have a lot of self -loathing.
71
So on the exterior, when I meet you and others meet you, they think you're pretty confident.
72
Where does this come from?
73
I think that all actors are pretty insecure.
74
I mean, in general, I obviously can't speak for everybody, but I think that's sort of what drives us into this business, is that insecurity.
75
And especially being a woman, I think all women, unfortunately, have some deep -seated insecurities for whatever reason,
76
because of how we're raised in society and it's hard having
77
so much focus on you all the time it's hard to maintain
78
that sort of confidence because you're always second guessing yourself
79
and questioning yourself and feeling like you're letting someone down
80
or you're failing in one way or another
81
because you can't please all of the people all of the time
82
so how are you handling this outrageous popularity right now i mean
83
if you go on google
84
and you type the letter m in it goes megan fox
85
i mean it's amazing how many people have taken an interest
86
in you what's the best part about it what's the worst
87
part about it well the best part about it I mean is you always feel
88
blessed and lucky to to have any sort of success in this business
89
because it's so hard for most people to achieve it
90
and I feel like I do feel undeserving of it
91
but I feel like it came pretty easily
92
because I was involved in something that was so big and so much bigger than I was.
93
And it opened all these doors for me.
94
I mean, the worst part about it is just the lack of anonymity, which is a hard thing to describe to people that don't understand.
95
But it's when your privacy is taken away or
96
when people are constantly picking apart everything that you say or you do and judging it, it's tough to live in that space every day.
97
It's basically like you're always in high school.
98
You never get out of high school.
99
Hollywood is a giant high school.
100
And as we all know, parts of high school were terrible.
101
Parts were great, though.
102
You were going to guest host the season premiere of SNL.
103
Yeah.
104
Are you nervous about that?
105
I'm so nervous.
106
I have a fear of public speaking.
107
That's not good.
108
That's not good, no. But we'll see.
109
We'll see what happens.
110
Obviously, everybody's a huge fan of the show, and I'm a huge Andy Samberg fan, and I'm really excited to get to meet all these people
111
and get to do something so incredible that I never thought I would get to do.
112
Most people who come through here are about to do that and say it's the scariest, best experience they ever have.
113
Really?
114
So good luck with it.
115
Thank you.
116
I hope you enjoy it.
117
And the movie is called Jennifer's Body, and it opens on Friday.
118
Megan, thanks very much.
119
Thank you.
120
Good to see you.
121
Coming up next, Jay Leno's primetime.

シャドーイングとは?英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング(Shadowing)は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的:ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影(shadow)」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
