Fox: 'Michael Bay is a mad man'

Sexy star Megan Fox has given her Transformers director Michael Bay's all-action reputation a bashing, insisting the moviemaker has "no social skills" and is "hopelessly awkward".

When asked about her experiences working with Bay during an interview with Wonderland magazine, Fox reveals the director was a hard taskmaster - and she thinks he's slightly mad.

She says, "I really wish I could go loose on this one - hes (Bay) like Napoleon and he wants to create this insane, infamous mad-man reputation.

"He wants to be like Hitler on his sets, and he is. So hes a nightmare to work for."

But Fox admits she also got to see the other side of the director, who is renowned for blowing things up on his movie sets.

She adds, "When you get him away from set, and hes not in director mode, I kind of really enjoy his personality because hes so awkward, so hopelessly awkward.

"He has no social skills at all. And its endearing to watch him. Hes vulnerable and fragile in real life, and then on set hes a tyrant.

"Shia and I almost die when we make a Transformers movie. He has you do (sic) some really insane things that insurance would never let you do."
