Actress Megan Fox doesn’t Google herself or set up a Google alert to be sent to her every time something is said about her because she hates being criticised and reading the negative things people say about her.

Fox said: “There are those who have a Google Alert on themselves and read everything everyone says and then there are those who pretend it isn’t happening.

“I’m one of the latter. I could never pore over what’s said about me. It wouldn’t work. I’d be a complete lunatic, drug-addled and out of my mind. Instead, I stay in and ignore it all. I’m actually kind of a recluse.”

The Jennifer’s Body star has realised that in the industry she isn’t much more than a pretty face.

The 23-year-old added: “I’m totally aware that I’ve never given anyone a reason to praise me for my talents. So to sit here and complain, ‘Why don’t people recognise me as an actress?’ would be outrageous.

“It’s my responsibility to prove to them that they should. I haven’t done that yet, so I’m not going to whine about it.”
