look out Brian Austin Greene!
Your super hot girlfriend is about to be paired with legendary Lothario turned freakish looking character actor, Mickey Rourke, in an upcoming film titled Passion Play.
Mega Fox is going to play a circus freak with angel wings growing out of her back who is being caged like a gilded butterfly (see last post) by some ruthless gangsters who have decided that the real money is not in running drugs or underage prostitution rings but rather unlicensed freak shows in the desert.
Mickey Rourke is said to play her romantic interest who sets out to rescue her from her life as a caged circus freak.
“There is a love story there, it’s clearly not going to be a typical one.” Fox recently told The Daily Express about her upcoming role. “My character is basically a circus freak, she lives in a cage and she has wings. She’s not an angel, but she has these giant wings that grow out of her back. She’s a freak and she’s on display.” She goes on to reveal.
Mickey Rourke, who was last seen getting robbed of his Oscar for his heart wrenching portrayal of a down and out wrestler is said to be excited about the chance to work with the beautiful young actress. Hopefully, he will be able to to help give her a few good pointers on how to have a successful life in Hollywood without segueing into a punishing professional boxing career.
Passion play is going to be directed by Mitch Glazier who is best known for writing the 1988 Bill Murray movie Scrooged.
So here is a pic of one of the Foxy one’s several tattoos, the most famous one being the picture of Marilyn Monroe on her arm. I found this little tat a little perplexing until I decided to do a little googling to find out where this saying come from.
At first i thought that this phrase was though up by Megan herself whilst she was taking bong hits and watching Animal Planet, but a little research told me that it actually comes from the great bard himself. No, not Dan Brown, I am talking about Shakespeare baby. It is out of King Lear and it is from a dialog old Lear is having with Cordelia, his only faithful daughter as they are being led off to prison.
Consulting my Shakespeare notes from a college English class along with various Internet post boards, it became apparent that this little gilded butterfly line is considered to be the most often quoted line from King Lear. Most scholars point to the fact that butterflies that have been “gilded” or covered with a thin metal foil may look pretty, but also lose the ability to fly. They go to pontificate that Shakespeare was talking about the royal court, people who were done up all nice and pretty, yet happened to be less free than the common man which is why Lear wishes to laugh at them I guess.
One can only speculate as to why Megan Fox found this phrase to be important enough to make it a permanent addition to her back. Maybe she feels as if she is a gilded butterfly, trapped by her own beauty and feels like laughing at herself. Or, maybe she is laughing at other gilded butterflies who take themselves to seriously. Or maybe she was just high as hell and always thought King Lear was cool.
At least she didn’t put “now is the winter of our discontent made glorious summer by this sun of york.” or I think we would all be confused.
