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.

She looks 100% white
@bleachsoda She is. Most White people who claim Native American ancestry do it because they hate their own race. And most of them don’t have any.
Megan is very white. She looks like a Czech woman who burned herself all week in the sun without being able to tan enough. There are even Polish with these same kind of face features (very thin nose and blue eyes, impossible to belong to a Native). Some artists say they are descendants of Indians just to seem more exotic in showbuzzness.
Megan is not always tanned. She is natural and very pale in the movie Jennifer’s Body. Very British/Irish face.
Hahaha you are an idiot. Blue eyes can be found in Africa, it’s a recessive gene, not exclusive to the “white” race. Also you will find Africans with thin noses and oval faces, and many Europeans with wide skulls and wide noses. These features are not exclusive to one race.
@ abritanyxo
You’re right,It was proven in 2017, that African have their own version of the light eye gene.The reason I believe you don’t see more, is locations, also Africa is a very dangerous place to just be walking around. Plus Africans are very superstitious, in many African groups, if a child is born(what they consider not normal), They kill. I watched this Documentary on the Kara tribe, this one woman killed 13 of her 20 something children. She killed one for being left handed. Another because the bottom teeth came out first. They were all considered (Mingi) or cursed. There’s another group that kills twins. So you could imagine what would happen to a blue eye baby in wrong group
However you guys are really serious about this topic? Because blue eyes are not that common in parts of Europe and very rare in West Asia, let alone in Sub-Sarahan Africa.
@fuzzybear
That is nothing. It looks like cannibalism still exists, possibly in parts of Melanesia. Is that the reason why Pacific Islanders are so big? Reasonable question.
You are beyond ridiculous
You’re the idiot. Now you’re making out that Europeans look like us Africans?? You’re lost and dumbest person on this thread
No she doesnt lol. She looks mixed and has a very exotic look. Definitely NOT pure white. Ellen DeGeneres and Jennifer Aniston look pure white. Megan Fox looks like Sacheen Littlefeather and Olivia Munn. Also thin noses and blue eyes are NOT exclusive to whites. Just fyi.
“She looks mixed and has a very exotic look”
https://www.stars-without-makeup.com/i/pics/megan-fox/19275-megan-fox-without-makeup.jpg
Exotic look, where?
Celebrities ladder their face with make-up it’s no telling what their natural skin color is behind the foundation, sorry but I can’t tell she’s Native American descent after looking at that pic lol.
“definitely NOT pure white” NO ONE IS 100% anything, everyone’s mixed to some degree, Modern day Europeans are roughly 1/3rd Neolithic Farmer, 1/3rd EU Hunter Gatherer, and 1/3 Indo-European, we’re a mixture of three ancient compontents and the R1b hablogroup originated in the Great Steppe/ Euroasian Steppe, every person of Euro descent are part of this hablogroup, https://youtu.be/FeMt-R_2wPA
The original European Hablogroups are I and C.
She is not mixed.. she is a white women with brunette hair which is common for most white people.
Most Europeans do not have blonde hair and blue eyes you —— lol. Grow up and learn to stop being so ignorant.
@abritanyaxo She is not mixed.. she is a white woman with brunette hair which is common for most white people to have.
And most of us do not have blonde hair with blue eyes, we have brown hair and blue eyes or brown hair and brown eyes, lol.
You need to grow up and quit stereotyping.
She doesn’t look mixed at all, she looks like a typical white person. Look at pictures of her before she become very famous and her surgeries and makeover, she had pale freckly skin and lighter hair and definitely does not look like Sacheen Littlefeather or Olivia Munn. Are you Megan herself of something?? Even if she had dark hair that doesn’t make her mixed or exotic, many British white people have dark hair and are white.
Megan does look very white. Pale skin with blue eyes and dark hair is also a very Irish look. However, it’s not impossible for an Indigenous person to have blue eyes or a narrow nose. I myself have seen Indigenous people with copper skin, dark blue eyes and narrow noses in my country.
Which country is that?
Yeah in what imaginary country does the non mixed indigenous people have copper skin, dark blue eyes and narrow noses?
Shes ——, why u take her words so serious?
Don’t put down those with mental illness. She’s not ‘——‘ she’s just deluded and likes to lie alot.
@TheHelper If she has Native American blood then she is Native American racially. Skin color and physical appearances don’t define what you are
I hardly think a ‘possible’ relative going back centuries makes her Native American. She is not racially Native American. She claims this like many white people do. Thing is they won’t get away with it so easily now as they used to in the past. That goes for her, Johnny Depp, Elvis, Fergie, Carmen Electra, Angelina Jolie and all the others.
Lol she does NOT look 100% white. She looks Eurasian or Native/White mix. Looks a lot like Olivia Munn and Sacheen Littlefeather. I’ve see many Eastern Europeans with this look, and it’s because many are in fact Eurasian. Someone that looks 100% white would be Brittney Spears, Jennifer Aniston, Tom Hanks, Matt Damon, etc.
> Someone that looks 100% white would be Brittney Spears, Jennifer Aniston, Tom Hanks, Matt Damon,
Add S.W.
Btw, white’s not a skin color, race nor ethnicity. No such thing as a “black” or “white” race. The US census standards has no scientific evidence of what anybody is. I’ve looked at my skin color more times I can count and it sure as hell isn’t “white”
Europeans have lots of different ancestors. First we have Neanderthal DNA in us, with freckles and sometimes red hair. Then we have the indigenous European DNA in Northern Europe, with mutations for blonde hair, and Stone Age men from further South with dark skin and blue eyes. Lighter skin grew as an evolutionary advantage in a climate with less SUN after many generations. But we also had Ural migrations to the North. And Syrian farmers moved over many generations from the South, and later the Indo Europeans came from the East, everywhere except in Greece. And after Roman times Germanic Slavic and Turk migrations influenced the Southeast.
Most migrations came from the East and from Central Asia.
So basically all “Europeans” are in fact Euroasian
You’re classed as white, going back centuries doesn’t negate that as it stands in the present day. Why you want to be non white so bad? Black peoples skin isn’t always ‘Black’, so using the my skin doesn’t look ‘white’ is meaningless. Who says Neanderthals had red hair and freckles? Who says all northern Europeans are all blond? Why are you so ashamed to be classed as white? Its white Europeans that made these classifications and made race the issue that it is today. Go speak to your ancestors!
They probably just have the same plastic surgeon, lol.
LMAO
Jennifer Aniston’s father is Greek, she’s white but her skin tone is still not as white as Megan’s real skin color. Even the rest you mentioned have darker skin tone’s than Megan’s. Why can’t she be white, why is everyone wishing so bad that she’s mixed? Surgery, hair dye, fake tan. Get over it, she white!!
No she doesnt lol. She looks mixed and has a very exotic look. Definitely NOT pure white. Ellen DeGeneres and Jennifer Aniston look pure white. Megan Fox looks like Sacheen Littlefeather and Olivia Munn.
So saying Ellen DeGeneres, Jennifer Aniston etc is “pure white” is irrelevant.
She posted a picture of her parents:
https://www.instagram.com/p/BgWwGXxB2vV/?taken-by=the_native_tiger
she is 1/8th Lithuanian Jewish
Reference/proof?
There is none lol, people on here reaching
I see her more as a delicate mixture of Swedish and Greek.
Guys I don’t think you understand… my best friends mother, Mrs. Dubs has the ability to tell how Lithuanian Jewish or Latvian Jewish someone is from looking at them… If you think I”m lying she could tell I was 0% and I took a DNA test and it was confirmed. we HAVE to add Megan Fox’s 1/8th Lithuanian Jewish heritage!
Which DNA test did you take? I only truly trust one company.
@passingtime
Which company is that?
So she has the same ability as neiltennant with Asian ancestry (he already accurately predicted Summer Glau’s 1/8th Chinese ancestry, although follers is trying to cover it up). Then it should definitely be added, I trust people with this gift fully. Maybe you can show her a picture of Abigail Breslin too so that this issue can be settled once and for all.
It is probably her great-grandfather Shellie V. Vier who was Jewish.
@fuzzybear44
23andMe.
Madman, Abigail breslin is Belarusian Jewish. I said my friends mother only detects Latvian Jewish and Lithuanian Jewish ancestry.
I’m trying ancestry first, because they give you more information on the African stuff .Although they want to scam you out of as much money as possible. Then I try 23, to see if they differ
Ancestry’s African results are interesting because they’ll tell you which parts of Africa your ancestors were from, with more variety than the others. The only problem is Ancestry’s results are all wildly inaccurate, sometimes past 25% wrong on any given ethnic marker, and that includes all the results not just the African ones. They way over blow percentages from the British Isles and Scandinavia, and East Europe, their Asian results are questionable.
23andme test, the heritage test not including the medical results, is $99. It’s the same price and a lot more accurate.
@passingtime85
Maybe you’re right, all those backgrounds(British Isles and Scandinavia, and East Europe) were in my sister results. We weren’t ecpecting those at all. Also it didn’t go into exactly which African groups we are, just the country. Egypt, Nubia, and Ethiopia are the only countries we didn’t get.

Nubia?
Fuzzy.
Yep AncestryDNA….is okay for a general overview, but it’s not the most accurate site. Will you also invest in 23andme or are you satisfied enough with Ancestry?
@Andrew
Fine Sudan, better?
@passingtime85
Don’t know yet?
omg stfu!
My best friends mother’s aunt’s sister’s cousin’s best friends father’s teacher has the ability to sniff out bs!
Jewish isn’t a race, it’s a religion.
I know a lot of Jewish people. Regardless if they are Ashkenazi, Sephardic, Mizrahi, etc. they consider themselves as descendants of an ancient Israeli race of twelve tribes.
Of course they do, they’re Jewish! and what?
It maybe sound nonsense but i think this site should put the link of her before and after plastic surgery because she look really different ethnicity now

If her skin was pale she would look VERY English
It is. She tans to make herself darker. Most White people do.
Her skin is very pale. Not all english people are that pale, I’d consider her skin more Irish looking white, underneath the fake tan. Her real hair color isn’t even as dark but even if it was it wouldn’t make any difference, shes white, she looks white, shes white!
