AceShowbiz - Megan Fox was inspired to end her marriage to Brian Austin Green after watching her 2010 box office flop "Jonah Hex".
The "Transformers" star reveals friends and colleagues urged her not to check out the film, which earned her terrible reviews and led to multiple Golden Raspberry nominations, but she wanted to see just how bad it was for herself.
"I had never even watched it because the other actors told me not to," she tells InStyle. "I mean, I got crucified for that movie, just brutalized in the reviews, but something came over me, and I said, 'F**k it, I'm going to be brave and watch it.' "
"I had this incredible breakthrough, and I realized that I had been living in a self-imposed prison for so long because I let other people tell me who I was or what I wasn't. I hid because I was hurt."
In that moment, the actress decided to make changes to her personal life and resolved to end her decade-long marriage to Green, the father of her three children.
"That night, I stayed up and promised myself that I would never live one more day of my life from fear," she adds. "I came home, and my whole life changed. I got a divorce and I started working more and doing more things. I ended up meeting [boyfriend] Colson [Baker], and then literally everything exploded from there."
Elsewhere in the interview, the "Jennifer's Body" actress talked about what she hopes to do with her acting career. "I should probably start manifesting," she spilled. "I won't lie, I do want to find a Marvel or a DC character that I've always wanted to play, and do one of those."
