Megan Fox is an American actress and model. She is known for her roles in the films Holiday in the Sun, Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen, Transformers, and its sequel Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen; How to Lose Friends & Alienate People, Jennifer’s Body, Jonah Hex, Passion Play, Friends with Kids, The Dictator, This Is 40, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and its sequel Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows; Above the Shadows, Zeroville, The Battle of Jangsari, Think Like a Dog, Rogue (2020), Till Death, Midnight in the Switchgrass, Night Teeth, Big Gold Brick, Taurus, Good Mourning, and Expend4bles, the made-for-tv movie Crimes of Fashion, and the series Hope & Faith and New Girl. She also co-created and hosted the show Legends of the Lost with Megan Fox.
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 is of mostly English descent. She also has small amounts of Scottish, German, and Scots-Irish/Northern Irish ancestry, along with distant French and Welsh roots, as well as possibly 1/512th Powhatan Native American ancestry.
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.
Megan’s great-great-great-great-great-great-grandmother, Mary Powhatan, was said to be of half Native American, of the Powhatan tribe, descent. This ancestry comes through Megan’s paternal grandmother. If this claim is accurate, it would make Megan of 1/256 Native American ancestry. No other Native American ancestry, Cherokee or otherwise, has been documented on any of Megan’s publicly available family trees. All of Megan’s grandparents, great-grandparents, and great-great-grandparents are listed as “White” on United States Censuses.

I would believe that she’s part native american…her hair is a very telling (very dark, thin…you can tell by looking at her scalp, and long) my teacher was part indian and she had hair of that sort, except hers was light brown. Oh, and Gisele is only hot because of the amount of make up she wears. She’s really quite average looking without it.
Fox’s tanned skin may or may not be natural…but who cares! At least she knows how to tan…and hasn’t gone orange in the process!
As for the high cheekbones…thier common in a variety of cultures, not just Native American. I have them…and I’m Scottish, Phillipino, English, and maybe German (still heavily disputed) It’s sort of funny, actually, because I’m very fair and have blonde curly hair, paired with freckles and hazel eyes, so everyone’s surprised when I point out my Phillipino mother.
I must agree, persons of a variety of different nationalities are quite attractive…but so are many who are of just a few.
Oh, and diva, what did you mean by “fresh blood”…sorry for my ignorance
I really do think people need to get over Megan Fox…there are many other women/girls that could easily compete with her. I agree she’s quite attractive(honest opinion), but you guys are getting stuck on one person, when there are so many other people just as beautiful. She’s a decent actress…but not an outstanding one. She seems to play the same type of roles in all her films.
ie: Emma Watson, Penelope Cruz, Halle Berry, Katharine Zeta JOnes…these are women who can actually act, although I really think Emma Watson needs some more dramatic roles
And let’s not forget the beauties of old, who didn’t need so much makeup to look stunning….Elizabeth Taylor, Barbara Eden, Grace Kelly, Audrey Hepburn
it doesnt really matter if she is this or or she is that
she by herself said those ancestors in her blood
the only important thing is that she is so lovely, so precious, so beautuiful
and shi is also a good actress
i love her
she is the best
ha yeah she looks like a fake tan white chick, shes a caucasoid.shes white still not mixed.
Wow what a bunch of genius super humans here! I am French, Irish, Native American, Dutch, Welsh, African, German, & Scottish. Yea I look like a white woman for the most part but darker is dominant and gives me a subtle exotic look and less subtle when I darken my hair or skin. Megan can alter her looks and guess what? She is still mixed. Morons.
