Stunner Megan Fox says she likes to think she’s even more attractive than she already is.

It's the latest ditty from the Transformers beauty who has a long history of putting her foot in her mouth. The 24-year-old – who appears as Josh Brolin's sexy, gun-toting prostitute girlfriend in the new shoot'em up Western Jonah Hex – says pictures in magazines make her realise she’s not as beautiful as she likes to think.

“I don't think I'm hideous or unattractive,” says Megan, "I just like to pretend in my mind I'm more attractive than I am, so seeing pictures confirms I'm wrong."

But the actress says she has no problem taking sexy roles if they are offered – as long as she doesn't have to see herself.

"I do like playing that because it's nothing like what I actually am,” she says. “I'm actually really vulnerable.”
