Megan Fox struggles with body dysmorphia and “deep insecurities”. The 35-year-old star has opened up about her internal struggles and reveals how she found love with her boyfriend Machine Gun Kelly.
“Yeah, I have body dysmorphia. I have a lot of deep insecurities. We may look at somebody and think, 'that person's so beautiful. Their life must be so easy,' they most likely don't feel that way about themselves,” she says.

She doesn't go into detail on how she is affected by body dysmorphia but she explains her relationship with the 31-year-old musician - who she met on the set of their movie Midnight in the Switchgrass - has helped her.
“You know, famously, like, I’m an unusual person. And I had buried a lot of that because it didn't have a place to live,” she adds.
And explains, “That's something that, meeting him, it's like meeting your own soul's reflection. I recognise so much of myself in him, and vice versa and that locked-up part of me that I had put away.
“I’d always felt like there was that thing missing, that I’d given up on, that you're always seeking. But then you meet the person that completes that for you and you're like, 'oh, this is what my heart was searching for. That's what that beacon was this whole time.'”

“I came from broken homes and I watched love never work. Then I grew up where in pop culture they don't even make romantic movies anymore.
“They don't know how deep the rabbit hole goes with my childhood and with everything that my body has stored in itself," he explained,” he says.
