Megan is the daughter of Gloria Darlene and Franklin Thomas Fox, a parole officer. A picture of her parents can be seen here. Megan was raised partly in Rockwood, Tennessee, in a Pentecostal family. Her stepfather was Tony Tonachio. She moved to St. Petersburg, Florida, when she was ten, and later to Los Angeles, California, for her acting career. Megan has three children with her former husband, actor, producer, and rapper Brian Austin Green.
Megan’s Instagram profile is titled “the_native_tiger,” and she previously referred to herself as “Child of the Cherokee Tribe” on that site. She has also stated, several times, that she is of part Cherokee Native American ancestry. It does not appear that any verifiable Cherokee Native American ancestry has been produced for Megan Fox. All of her recent ancestors are listed as “White” on U.S. Censuses.

Megan could fit in many european countries and she looks British according to my english online friends

100% british looking here, very common in uk tv shows
Which tv shows?
george shore or something, she looks british girls from tv, could be the sister of Vicky Pattison etc

looks simple brit and northern euro gurl
Looks 100 percent white to me which makes sense given how so distant and little her non European ancestry is.
Lol I remembered when she talked about being a Cherokee character (which she isn’t even) and mentioned Jake Gyllenhaal playing Prince of Persia. I feel like she thinks all middle easterners are swathy when actually quite a good number can be pale and light eyed. At least Jake probably has a decent amount of ME blood and actually can fit as part of the Middle Easts ethnic diversity.

None of that is accurate.
Megan looks very irish before plastic surgery

I agree with you on this one she really does look Irish in that picture!
She is mostly English, not Irish.
ethnic celebs accurately stated Demi Lovato is English, Scottish, and Northern Irish and yet she came up as more Irish than British on ancestry DNA so anything is possible.
“Checkbones… bla bla bla”
She doesnt have any indigenous features, she looks european
Her phenotype is North Atlantid, she would scores less than 3% native american on 23andme.
If she was mestiza, castiza or whatever who scores more than 9% indigenous then i would agree with those bla bla bla
but she looks white and european
