Early life[edit]
Megan Denise Fox was born on May 16, 1986,[1][4] in Oak Ridge, Tennessee,[5][6] to parents Gloria Darlene (née Cisson) and Franklin Thomas Fox.[7] She spent her early childhood in nearby Rockwood.[8] Fox's father, a parole officer, and her mother divorced when Fox was three years old.[5] Her mother later remarried, and Fox and her sister[9] were raised by her mother and her stepfather, Tony Tonachio.[10][11][12] She was raised "very strictly Pentecostal," but later attended Catholic school for 12 years.[13][14] She said that her parents were "very strict" and that she was not allowed to have a boyfriend[15] or invite friends to her house.[9] Fox described her stepfather as being "verbally, mentally, and emotionally abusive" until his death.[16] She revealed in an interview that she developed an eating disorder in her adolescence and struggled with manic depression, the latter of which "[ran] in my family, so there was definitely some wrestling with chemical imbalance going on."[17] Fox lived with her mother until she made enough money to support herself.[15]
Fox began her training in dance and drama at age five, in Kingston, Tennessee.[18] She attended a dance class at the community center there and was involved in Kingston Elementary School's chorus and the Kingston Clippers swim team. At age 10, after moving to St. Petersburg, Florida, Fox continued her training.[19][20] When she was 13 years old, Fox began modeling after winning several awards at the 1999 American Modeling and Talent Convention in Hilton Head, South Carolina.[21] Fox attended high school at Morningside Academy in Port St. Lucie[22] until her junior year when she attended St. Lucie West Centennial High School. [23] When she was 17 she tested out of school via correspondence, in order to move to Los Angeles, California.[9][15]
Fox spoke freely about her time in school, stating that in middle school she was bullied and had to eat lunch in the bathroom to avoid being "pelted with ketchup packets." She said that the problem was not her looks, but that she had "always gotten along better with boys" and that "rubbed some people the wrong way."[24] Fox also said that she was never popular in high school, and that "everyone hated me, and I was a total outcast, my friends were always guys, I have a very aggressive personality, and girls didn't like me for that. I've had only one great girlfriend my whole life." In the same interview, she mentions that she hated school and has "never been a big believer in formal education" and that "the education I was getting seemed irrelevant. So, I was sort of checked out on that part of it."[24]
Career[edit]
2000–2009: Early roles and breakthrough[edit]
In 2001, Fox made her acting debut in the romantic comedy Holiday in the Sun, as spoiled heiress Brianna Wallace and rival of Alex Stewart (Ashley Olsen), which was released direct-to-DVD on November 20, 2001. In the next several years, she guest-starred on the sitcoms What I Like About You and Two and a Half Men. Fox also appeared as an uncredited extra in the action film Bad Boys II (2003).
In 2004, Fox made her feature film debut opposite Lindsay Lohan in the musical comedy Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen, playing the supporting role of Carla Santini, a rival of Lola (Lohan). She was also cast in a regular role on the ABC sitcom Hope & Faith, in which she portrayed Sydney Shanowski, replacing Nicole Paggi. Fox appeared in the second and third seasons, until the series was cancelled by ABC in May 2006.[25]
In 2007, Fox won the lead female role of Mikaela Banes in the 2007 live-action film Transformers, based on the toy and cartoon saga of the same name. Fox played the love interest of Shia LaBeouf's character Sam Witwicky. Fox was nominated for an MTV Movie Award in the category of "Breakthrough Performance", and was also nominated for three Teen Choice Awards.[25] She had signed on for two more Transformers sequels,[25][26] reprising her role as Mikaela in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. There was controversy surrounding Fox's appearance while filming the sequel when Michael Bay, the film's director, ordered the actress to gain ten pounds.[27] The film was released worldwide on June 24, 2009, to box office success.[28]
Fox was to star in the third installment, Transformers: Dark of the Moon, but was not included because of her statements comparing working under director Bay to working for Hitler. She confessed on GQ Magazine that she had lost approximately 30 pounds during filming due to consuming a primary diet of water and vinegar,[citation needed] and reportedly had a dispute over her visible loss of weight with the director on set.[29][30] Bay stated in June 2009 that Fox was fired on orders of executive producer Steven Spielberg,[31] a claim Spielberg denied.[32]

In 2009, Fox had her first lead role since the Transformers series; she portrayed the title character in Jennifer's Body, written by Academy Award–winning screenwriter Diablo Cody.[33] The film initially earned mixed to average reviews upon its release, with Fox's performance earning praise.[34] However, the film grew a cult following over time and was critically reassessed as a "forgotten feminist classic".[35] According to Cody, the film was marketed incorrectly by executives who focused their efforts on the young male audience.[36]
In April 2009, she began filming the western superhero film Jonah Hex, in which she portrayed Tallulah Black / Leila, a gun-wielding beauty and Jonah Hex's (Josh Brolin) love interest. The film was released on June 18, 2010.[37] Despite receiving top billing, Fox described her role in the film as being a cameo.[38] Jonah Hex was a critical and commercial failure in the U.S., with its international distribution cancelled after its poor performance.[39] The film was named the "worst picture of the year" by the Houston Film Critics Society.[40]
2010–present: rise to prominence and current work[edit]
Fox starred alongside Mickey Rourke in the drama Passion Play. After premiering at the Toronto International Film Festival, its conventional theatrical distribution was bypassed for a direct-to-video release, with only two screens briefly showing the film to fulfill contractual obligations.[41] Rourke remarked that the film was "terrible. Another terrible movie."[42][43] Fox appeared with Dominic Monaghan in the music video for Eminem and Rihanna's single "Love the Way You Lie".[44] In 2012, Fox appeared briefly in Sacha Baron Cohen's comedy film The Dictator and had a featured role in Judd Apatow's comedy film This Is 40. She voiced the role of Lois Lane in the animated comedy film Robot Chicken DC Comics Special,[45] an episode of the television comedy series Robot Chicken that aired as a one-off special during Cartoon Network's Adult Swim programming block on September 9, 2012.

Public image[edit]
Status and persona[edit]
Chris Lee of the Los Angeles Times called Fox a "sex symbol of the highest order" and said she was "the first bona fide sex symbol of the 21st century."[2] Craig Flaster of MTV stated, "Transformers broke Fox into the mainstream, immediately turning her into a household name and international sex symbol."[69] She has been featured on various magazine covers and "hottest" and "most beautiful woman" lists throughout the years, such as Maxim's Hot 100 lists and when FHM readers voted her the "Sexiest Woman in the World" in 2008.[2][3][70] People named her one of 2012's and 2017's Most Beautiful at Every Age.[71][72] Scholar Marc DiPaolo stated that Fox achieved instant fame as Mikaela in Transformers because a "highly sexualized, erotically idealized figure draped over a car or motorcycle invariably evokes lust in the heterosexual male onlooker" and Fox did this by leaning over a Camaro while wearing "a flimsy pink belly shirt" and short skirt, which read as "an unequivocal sex invite" to male viewers.[73] The editors of Men's Health also credited the Camaro scene with contributing to Fox's fame.[74]
Fox said all women in Hollywood are known and marketed as sex symbols, but that this is okay if the woman knows how to utilize the status.[75][76] She created a character for her public image because she was unwilling to sacrifice her true self to the world.[75][77] Scholars Wheeler Winston Dixon and Gwendolyn Audrey Foster disagreed that every woman in Hollywood is marketed as a sex symbol, and stated that Fox's "celebrity is based on what she admits is an entirely artificial construct designed for dissemination in the Internet age, a 21st-century media personality in every sense of the word."[75] Part of her persona included making outlandish comments,[77][78] which she said helped her reach her level of fame versus being "a typical starlet" who "said all the right things".[77] Her tattoos, which she began getting at age 19 as a form of self-expression,[79] helped popularize tattoo fashion.[80] She had over nine known tattoos, including a picture of Marilyn Monroe's face on her right forearm and a quote on her shoulder.[81] Author John Tehranian argued that Fox's Monroe tattoo enhanced her "implicit claims to Monroe's legacy as Hollywood's leading sex symbol."[82] Fox ended up removing the Monroe tattoo in a series of laser surgeries[83] because she felt that Monroe's life was full of negativity and she did not want to emulate it.[84]
The media often compared Fox to actress Angelina Jolie,[2] dubbing her the "next Angelina Jolie", which also affected her image.[77] Amid this and reports that she was to replace Jolie in a new Lara Croft film,[85] Fox commented that the comparisons indicate a lack of creativity on the part of the media,[76] and attributed them to both she and Jolie being brunette, having tattoos, cursing, and mentioning and joking about sex,[86][87] "which people find outrageous".[87] Lynn Hirschberg of The New York Times opined that "the Jolie comparison would probably have been made by the media eventually, but Fox sped up the process" by "linking herself to Jolie" and that she "enjoyed creating entertaining copy" by telling "tales of darkness and lust."[77]
In 2009, Fox's public image came under scrutiny when an unsigned letter from three crew members of Transformers defended director Michael Bay against accusations made by Fox about his on-set behavior, including a comparison with Adolf Hitler.[31][88] In response to the letter alleging that Fox's on-set behavior is unpleasant and contrasts her public persona, Bay stated he does not condone the letter or Fox's "outlandish quotes", but "her crazy quips are part of her crazy charm", and that they still work well together.[31] A production assistant who worked on Transformers also stated that he never saw Fox act inappropriately on set.[88] Fox said the letter's claims were false,[77] and that she had privately spoken with the parties involved. She said she was "very fortunate" to be a part of the franchise, and was looking forward to continuing her work.[88] DiPaolo concluded that Fox's criticism of the media sexually objectifying girls and women was in stark contrast to her sex symbol status and that "her defiance of director Michael Bay and frequent outspoken comments" stifled her career.[73]
Media exposure[edit]
.jpg){kind=spacer}
The increased media exposure was difficult for Fox, who acknowledged being shy and insecure, to adjust to.[78][89] It also positioned her as a potential role model, and later led to her being typecast. She rejected being a formal role model, but said that she could make young girls feel "strong and intelligent and be outspoken and fight for what they think is right"[90] and that she was a different role model for girls that maybe America was not comfortable with.[91] She considered being typecast as attractive an opportunity to surprise people when she gives a good performance in a film,[90][76] but said she is interested in portraying less sexualized characters.[89] MTV's Craig Flaster said that although Fox has "been typecast as the big-budget sex symbol", she has shown comedic range.[69]
Fox's overexposure in the media led several men's websites, such as AskMen, to boycott her on August 4, 2009,[92] although some refused to do so, feeling that the boycott was a publicity stunt and therefore hypocritical.[93][94] In response to the media attention, Fox told magazine Nylon, in September of that year, that "[the studio] wanted to make sure [the film] would make $700 million, so they oversaturated the media with their stars" and that she did not "want to have people get completely sick of [her] before [she's] ever even done something legitimate."[95] She became much less prominent in the media by 2010, after starring in the less commercially successful films Jonah Hex and Passion Play.[96] That same year, Fox said, "My biggest regret is that I've assisted the media in making me into a cartoon character. I don't regret what has happened to me, but I regret the way I have dealt with it."[97] Dixon and Foster stated, "The problem [Fox] faces is that the [image] construct has replaced the real in the minds of the public; and once established, a media persona is hard to recalibrate."[75]
Personal life[edit]
In 2009, Fox was targeted by a group of fashion-motivated criminals known as the "Bling Ring," who robbed her then-boyfriend Brian Austin Green's home for access to Fox's possessions.[98]
Fox has a form of brachydactyly called brachydactyly type D,[99] and has discussed her obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD), insecurities, self-harming, and has acknowledged that she has low self-esteem.[100] In 2013, she said that her Christian faith is still very important to her and she believes it keeps her grounded.[101]
Fox and then-husband Green were supporters of Generosity Water, and funded the creation of over ten water wells for the organization.[102][103]
With regard to relationships and her sexuality, Fox said that she has a general distrust and dislike of men,[104] and that the perception of her as a "wild and crazy sexpot" is false because she is asocial; Fox stated that she would rather stay at home instead of going out,[105][106] and emphasized that she cannot have sex with someone she does not love.[97][105] She is bisexual, and said she believes that "all humans are born with the ability to be attracted to both sexes".[107] She stated in 2009, "I have no question in my mind about being bisexual. But I'm also a hypocrite: I would never date a girl who was bisexual, because that means they also sleep with men, and men are so dirty that I'd never want to sleep with a girl who had slept with a man."[108]
Fox told InStyle in July 2021: "A girl would come up to me and be like: 'You had a lot to do with me, like identifying and understanding that I was gay or understanding that I was bisexual...' And that, of course, is by far, like, the most moving, rewarding thing that I have experienced in my life! To be a part of something that helped people figure that out, or helped people deal with that, or feel better about that. One of my favorite things that I get called, is being like, a bi icon and that is one of the things I am the most proud of!"[109]
She has several tattoos, which includes the Chinese symbol for "strength" that is drawn on the back of her neck, a quote from the William Shakespeare play King Lear that reads "We will all laugh at gilded butterflies," the yin and yang symbol on her left wrist, and a crescent moon entwined with a star on her ankle. Fox also has a poem tattooed near her breast that reads "There once was a little girl, who never knew love until a boy broke her heart" and another tattoo on her back that quotes Friedrich Nietzsche: "And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music." She claims that she had it drawn in honor of her Passion Play costar Mickey Rourke but later clarified that it's "not necessarily a homage to him."[110] She also once had her ex-husband Brian Austin Green's first name tattooed on her hip, but later had

Richards was cast as the nuclear physicist Christmas Jones in the James Bond film The World Is Not Enough (1999). Though she considered her role "brainy", "athletic", and having depth of character,[23] she was criticized as not credible in the role.[24][25] Her outfit, which often comprised a low-cut tank top and tight shorts, elicited unfavorable comments.[26] Richards stated that a lot of viewers "made fun of" the character's attire but that "These Bond girls are so outrageous and if I did really look like a scientist, the Bond fans would have been disappointed."[27] Richards was nominated for the Blockbuster Entertainment Award for Favourite Actress – Action, for the film. Later that year, Richards starred alongside Kirsten Dunst in the beauty pageant satire, Drop Dead Gorgeous. The film has gained new fans with time and is regarded as a cult film.

In August 2018, Richards announced that she would be joining the Bravo reality series, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, for the show's ninth season, which premiered on February 12, 2019.[56][57] Vanity Fair described her addition to the series by saying: "She might be one of the most famous people to join the Housewives franchise, someone who was a legitimate household name before becoming a reality star. Now, that doesn't always translate to on-screen gold, but it is a nice little coup for Bravo."[58] The New York Times wrote that Richards "brought a refreshing and occasionally disarming dose of reality" to the series.[59] On May 31, 2019, The Daily Beast wrote that "Richards's appearance on the show is the best kind of surprise, one that reveals that a celebrity is not who we may have assumed them to be. She's an extremely warm, loving parent, without a hint of narcissism or vapidity about her."[60] Fox News called her "an instant fan favorite" when she joined the show in 2019.[61]
In 2019, she joined the cast of CBS' soap opera The Bold and the Beautiful as Shauna Fulton.[7][62][63][64] "Shauna is a fun-loving, hard-working single mother from Las Vegas who aspires to live life to its absolute fullest," executive producer and headwriter Bradley Bell told People magazine.[65] In July 2019, it was announced that Richards had joined the cast of Fox Broadcasting's comedy-drama television series BH90210 in a guest role, playing a fictionalized version of herself.[66][67][68] She portrayed overly-ambitious mother Candice in Lifetime television film The Secret Lives of Cheerleaders, released on September 2, 2019.[69][70] "I think the story's about this girl that's trying to fit in and makes some bad choices and then, knowing right from wrong, decided to make a better choice," Richards told Parade.[71] On November 4, 2019, Richards appeared as a guest model on the game show The Price Is Right.[72][73] Richards played Valerie in the Christmas film My Adventures with Santa (2019) opposite Patrick Muldoon.[74] The film was released in limited theaters on November 15, 2019.[75]
2020–present: Films and return to reality television[edit]
Richards returned for The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' tenth season, which premiered on April 15, 2020.[76] On September 10, 2020, her representative confirmed that Richards is leaving the series after two seasons.[77] In late 2020, Richards traveled to Spain to begin filming adventure drama series Glow & Darkness, portraying the role of Countess of Champagne.[78][79][80][81] In 2020, she appeared in five films: Money Plane, Switched, Reality Queen!, Alpha Code and Timecrafters: The Treasure of Pirate's Cove. The heist film Money Plane was released to video-on-demand services on July 10, 2020, by Quiver Distribution.[82] In Switched, released on September 4, 2020,[83] Richards portrayed Victoria Sharp, the mother of a school bully.[84][85] On August 28, 2021, she played Amanda in Lifetime's thriller film Killer Cheer Mom.[86][87][88] The film follows a high school junior named Riley, who moved to a new town with her dad and stepmom, Amanda (Richards).[89][90]
In June 2024, People magazine reported that Richards had signed a deal with E! to star in a new reality television show called Denise Richards and the Wild Things.[5][91] The series will follow Richards' family life and is set to premiere in 2025.[5] She is also an executive producer of the series.[5]
Modeling and other ventures[edit]
During her career, Richards has graced the covers of numerous magazines, including Cosmopolitan (Poland, Greece, US and Germany), Redbook, Details, Esquire, Self, Shape, GQ, Bella and Empire.[92] In December 2004, she posed for a nude pictorial in Playboy magazine, five months after giving birth.[93] Richards posed semi-nude for the July 2006 issue of Jane magazine to raise money for the Clothes Off Our Back Foundation. She has appeared in television commercials for Pepsi, Head & Shoulders, Secret, J.C. Penney and Librero.[94] Richards walked the runway at the "Max Factor Salutes Hollywood" fashion show on March 14, 2007, in Hollywood.[95] In 2010, Richards walked the runway for Ali Landry and Annie Kate Pons' fashion line, Belle Parish's fashion show.[96] In September 2019, she walked the runway for Kyle Richards' and Shahida Clayton's new clothing brand at New York Fashion Week.[97]
Richards launched her self-titled fragrance in spring 2012.[98][99] In 2012, Richards appeared in an infomercial for abdominal muscle toner "The Flex Belt" alongside Adrianne Curry, Lisa Rinna and Janet Evans.[100] In 2013, she became the brand ambassador for Oro Gold Cosmetics.[101][102][103] In 2017, she appeared in furniture brand Urban Home's commercials and advertising campaigns.[104][105][106] She has appeared in rock band Blues Traveler's music video for the song "Canadian Rose" and rapper Snoop Dogg's music video for "Undercova Funk".
In November 2019, Richards announced that she has developed a skincare line with CBme Beauty.[107][108][109]
Richards joined OnlyFans as a content creator in June 2022, as a gesture of support for her daughter Sam, who had attracted criticism for launching her own account.[110] She said that she believed "the creators of [OnlyFans] really took the best of every platform of social media and put it into one site," because as a creator, "you own your content. The other sites, they can sell your content."[111] Richards earns a significant income via the site.[112] Her friend, Tori Spelling, later admitted to subscribing with a pseudonymous account and spending over $400 on content and tips in two days.[113]
Public image[edit]
Richards's appearance has often been the subject of media attention. In 1999, she was ranked #9 in Maxim's 50 Sexiest Women. In 2001, she was voted #2 in FHM's 100 Sexiest Women, #5 in FHM's 100 Sexiest Women and #19 in AskMen.com's 50 Most Beautiful Women. She was named one of the "100 Hottest Women of All-Time" by Men's Health.[114] In 2002, Richards was ranked at number 21 in Stuff magazine's "102 Sexiest Women in the World." In 2011, Men's Health ranked her at number 61 on their list of "100 Hottest Women of All Time." Shape magazine ranked her at number 7 on their list of "10 of Our Fave Bond Girls: Then and Now."[115]
Personal life[edit]
Richards became engaged to actor Charlie Sheen on December 26, 2001, and they were married on June 15, 2002, at the estate of Spin City creator Gary David Goldberg.[116] They have two children together.[117][118] In March 2005, while pregnant with their second child, Richards filed for divorce from Sheen.[119] She sought a restraining order against Sheen, alleging death threats against her.[120] On April 19, 2006, Richards filed formal legal papers seeking a divorce from Sheen under the laws of the state of California.[121] The divorce was finalized on November 30, 2006; Sheen was ordered to stay 300 feet away from his ex-wife and their daughters, except during supervised visits.[122] In May 2010, Sheen surrendered legal custody of Sam and Lola to Richards. They previously had joint legal custody of their daughters. According to a source, Richards wanted sole legal custody, given Sheen's "marital turmoil, sobriety issues, and criminal problems" and he did not fight it. Under their divorce agreement, she had primary physical custody and he had visitation rights.[123][124]
By mid-2012, Richards and Sheen were on good terms,[125] often spending time together with their children. In 2012, Sheen made a cameo appearance in her movie Madea's Witness Protection, while Richards appeared in Sheen's television series Anger Management.[126] In a move supported by Sheen, in May 2013, Richards was awarded temporary custody of the twin sons born in 2009 to Sheen and his wife Brooke Mueller, after the children were removed from Mueller's home by child protective services due to concerns over drug use.[127]
In June 2011, Richards adopted a third daughter, Eloise Joni Richards,[128] as a single parent.[129] Her middle name honors Richards’ deceased mother.[130] Richards adopted her at birth, following a two-year adoption process.[131][132] Eloise has a rare chromosomal disorder, Chromosome 8, Monosomy 8p, which affects her speech.[133] Richards has worked on learning sign language to communicate with her daughter.[134]
In December 2017, Richards began dating Aaron Phypers before his divorce with Nicolette Sheridan was finalized.[135] On September 8, 2018, Richards and Phypers were wed in Malibu, California.[136] In May 2019, Richards announced that Phypers was adopting her youngest daughter, Eloise.[137]
