LOS ANGELES—“How can you work with Megan Fox and not fall in love with her?”
“Buddy, that is a tough question,” a smiling Shia LaBeouf reacted to that question from a reporter during our press con with him. Megan had just left the room and the query was obviously inspired by the actress’ hot looks and smart answers.
But after a pause, Shia offered a reply that indicated he has given the matter about his “Transformers” sequel co-star some thought. “I’m a professional so you know, I’m not out of my mind,” began the actor who at 23 is still shedding his teen looks but is gradually taking on a grown-up appearance (the mustache and beard help). “Megan and I are co-workers, first and foremost. But the truth is, as crazy as I could be, how good will a relationship between us turn out? What am I betting on? What would become the important topical matters in my life? Would I have to talk about it? Where would we go? How would we hang out? It’s just not for either one of us. I don’t think it’s the right move. But there is no secret to it. I’m attracted to her. She’s a beautiful girl. She’s a sweetheart.”
