"Megan Fox: Her Allure Photo Shoot\\nMegan Fox&amp;#39;s public persona&amp;#8212;the striking young actress who screams sex appeal&amp;#8212;is only a small part of the puzzle. There&amp;#39;s a whole other side to her: a germaphobe-comic-book-junkie-who-curses-like-a-truck-driver side. See outtakes from her cover shoot with Greg Kadel at Milk Studios in Los Angeles, plus photos from the actress&amp;#39;s 2008 Allure fashion spread. For more images and our interview with Fox, pick up the June Issue of Allure, on newsstands May 25.\\nFox arrived so early to the 10 A.M. shoot that she had already settled down to have her hair done when the rest of the crew arrived. She had her Kindle with her; queued up was *New York Times* best-seller *Jesus Interrupted: Revealing the Hidden Contradictions in the Bible (And Why We Don't Know About Them)* (HarperCollins). Here, the actress poses for a test shot in a Fendi dress and bedroom slippers.\\nThe actress happily went along with creative director Paul Cavaco's plans for barely-there makeup. The approach was ideal for her natural assets: Her lashes were so long and dark, she didn't even need mascara. \\\"Paul had mentioned the 1979 film *Tess* with Nastassja Kinski,\\\" said makeup artist Virginia Young. \\\"In the movie, Tess isn't meant to look like she's made-up\u2014she is naturally gorgeous, just like Megan.\\\"\\nBy the time everyone broke for lunch (Fox ate salad and chicken and sipped green tea), Kadel had completed three different shots. This usually takes about seven hours, but Fox didn't need many hair or makeup touch-ups, and \\\"she didn't ask to see the photos on the monitor,\\\" said Cavaco. \\\"Everything with her is so mellow, easy, and fast.\\\"\\n\\\"Megan usually has bronzed skin and smoky eyes,\\\" said Young. For this shoot, \\\"I played down her sexiness and made her more fresh.\\\" Young rimmed Fox's upper lash lines with charcoal pencil, smudged it into her lashes, and topped it with shimmery ivory shadow. She then dabbed a rosy cream blush on the apples of Fox's cheeks. The final touch: Young applied a rose lipstick to the center of Fox's lips and blended the color outward.\\n\\\"I wanted her hair to look natural and romantic,\\\" said hairstylist Serge Normant. He parted it down the center, divided it into three sections, and \\\"unevenly\\\" teased each one. Starting at Fox's chin, Normant braided the hair \\\"loosely and irregularly.\\\" Last, he pulled out \\\"random pieces for a deconstructed braid.\\\" Here, Fox poses in a cotton blouse from See by Chlo\u00E9.\\nAt the end of the day, the actress thanked the crew and hopped into her Mercedes-Benz SUV to head home, where she lives with boyfriend Brian Austin Green. The two met in 2004 while Fox was on the television show *Hope &amp; Faith* and Green appeared as a guest star. \\\"After we were done shooting that day, Brian gave his number out to everyone,\\\" said Fox. \\\"So I called him.\\\" Here, the actress poses in a cotton dress by Donna Karan New York.\\nFox's cover shoot flew by because of the actress's focus\u2014and her lack of ego. (\\\"Love! Her!\\\" creative director Paul Cavaco mouthed.) *Allure* found her similarly humble two years ago during a fashion shoot, shown here. \\\"I try to be efficient whenever I'm at work, any kind of work; I don't like wasting people's time and wasting my own time,\\\" she says.\\n\\n\\n\\n*March 2008 issue*\\nFox tries to maintain a strong sense of privacy. But for a 24-year-old actress in Hollywood, that isn't always easy. \\\"I was really open when I first started,\\\" she says. \\\"Trying to be lighthearted and have a sense of humor and engage in some sort of satire sometimes. It did backfire to a certain extent, and it became too exhausting. I still have the same sense of humor, but I have no desire to express it, really, anymore, because I've always been fucked for doing so.\\\"\\n\\n\\n\\n*March 2008 issue*\\nFox is anything but clingy. \\\"I could go days, weeks without talking to another human being,\\\" she says. \\\"I could probably go months and be perfectly satisfied. Easily. It's the opposite of being needy, but at the same time, I don't know if I would want to be in a relationship with someone who required as much alone time as I require,\\\" says Fox. Yet her love life is more stable than many in Hollywood.\\n\\n\\n\\n*March 2008 issue*\\nIn May, Fox will appear with Josh Brolin and John Malkovich in *Jonah Hex*, based on the comic book; it's a genre for which she has a particular affection. \\\"I liked [reading comic books] when I was a kid because it was an escape,\\\" she says. \\\"They're full of adrenaline, and it was just a total escape from school, from family, from everything.\\\"\\n\\n\\n\\n*March 2008 issue*\\nFox might seem like an unlikely mother figure, but she has a special bond with Green's son Kassius. \\\"[He's] the only person I enjoy cooking for. I like arranging it on his little plate.... I like cooking for kids, for some reason.\\\"\\n\\n\\n\\n*March 2008 issue*\\nFox doesn't like speaking in public\u2014and she recognizes that this might be off-putting to some. \\\"I hate talking in front of large crowds of people,\\\" she says. \\\"You have to be yourself, there's nothing you can hide behind, and I don't like sharing myself. So I go to these places where I shut off, and I don't know what I do. Sometimes I'm normal, and sometimes I'm fucking weird and bizarre.\\\"\\n\\n\\n\\n*March 2008 issue*\\nFox is certainly comfortable with her sexuality, but when she heard about a leaked topless photo of herself, taken on a cellphone, she was furious. \\\"If I knew who took this picture, I would personally cause them harm\u2014physical harm,\\\" she said. \\\"I'm not a fucking reality-TV star that wants my picture taken all the time.\\\"\\n\\n\\n\\n*March 2008 issue*\\n\\\"You either have this fire and personality that you fight to keep, but then you have to deal with the misconceptions that go along with that, and people misquoting you and turning you into a cartoon character\u2014or you kind of shut down and become completely politically correct,\\\" says Fox. \\\"And I don't want to be that either, necessarily; I don't want to have to watch my words so carefully and be so vanilla. I'm too inquisitive, and I'm just\u2014I'm a living, breathing human. I'm a person; I'm not a robot.\\\"\\n\\n\\n\\n*March 2008 issue*"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
