We weren't kidding when we said Megan Fox bared her soul in an epic conversation with MTV News set to air Friday night at 7 p.m. on "Behind the Screen" The "Jennifer's Body" star discussed such
things as the pleasures and perils of girl-on-girl kisses. In a new sneak peek, the 23-year-old beauty curses, laughingly threatens to walk out of the interview and, perhaps best of all, reveals that she shares an obsession with every movie nerd and comedy fanboy in the world: "Office Space."
Mike Judge's workplace comedy hit theaters in February 1999, when Fox was still in middle school. The then-12-year-old became infatuated with TPS reports, "O" faces, Michael Bolton fans and everything else that has made "Office Space" an intensely quotable classic.
"My friends and I were really obsessed with that movie and — because we were annoying and ridiculous when we were in seventh grade — we would just write quotes from the movie on notes and pass them back and forth in class and laugh hysterically every time we opened the note and passed it back," she said.
Hearing this, our own Josh Horowitz paid Fox the ultimate compliment. "You have a lot of flair!" he declared. Horowitz was referencing a series of exchanges involving Jennifer Aniston's "Office Space" character, who is less than enthused about the buttons, pins and bon mot-blaring badges she's required to wear for her waitressing job in a theme restaurant.
Fox didn't exactly pick up on the connection. "I have a lot of flair?" she responded.
Horowitz quickly cried foul. "You are a poseur!" he said.
"No, I'm not a poseur!" she replied "I took you seriously."
Take an MTV reporter seriously at your own peril.
"Ah, f---," Fox laughed. "I'm done with this interview!"
Of course, the actress stuck around for a while longer. You can check out the whole thing, as well as interviews with other "Jennifer's Body" castmembers and the first ever look at the "Clash of the Titans" set, when "Behind the Screen" premieres Friday at 7 p.m.
