Megan Fox and Will Arnett, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles stars, talk superpowers, crushes and adrenalin

SHE’S the indestructible vixen who has been heating up the silver screen, but Megan Fox admits she was far from bulletproof while filming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

SHE’S the indestructible vixen who has been heating up the silver screen since her Transformers days, but Megan Fox admits she was far from bulletproof while filming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turles.

The mother of two, who discovered just two weeks into filming the much-loved Turtles reboot that she was pregnant, admitted filming the action-packed flick was a constant physical battle.

“I was nauseous the entire time,” she told news.com.au. “But when you start making a movie like this, because it is so action heavy, you get adrenalin rushes and that would combat the nausea.

“It was in between takes that I would realise ‘oh right, I’m sick’.”

Fox and her husband Brian Austin Green welcomed their second son, Bodhi Ransom, in February after filming wrapped. The 28-year-old beauty anticipates her boys will grow up to think she is “embarrassing”, no matter how many action flicks she stars in.

Megan Fox and Will Arnett were in Sydney earlier this week for TMNT.

Arnett on the other hand, who plays cameraman Vern Fenwick in the Michael Bay-produced blockbuster, admits his two boys weren’t overly impressed with their dad’s latest role playing with turtles. The comedian joked: “My kids don’t give me enough credit!”

Despite being on fairly opposing film trajectories, the actors have crossed paths before, appearing together in 2010 action fantasy film, Jonah Hex.

Fox even admitted to a serious crush on her co-star and recalled blurting out “I love you” to Arnett in the stairway. Of course, the Arrested Development star says he played it super cool.

Will, we’re just a tad dubious.
