Megan Fox washed director's Ferrari

London, July 7 (IANS) Model-turned-actress Megan Fox was forced to lather up and clean a Ferrari to land herself the female lead in "Transformers", according to a British film critic.

The 23-year-old shot to superstardom after appearing in the 2007 sci-fi thriller and its sequel "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" that came out recently.

Imdb.com reports that the star's start in Hollywood was anything but glamorous, after director Michael Bay made her clean his expensive car as part of her audition for the role, according to British broadcaster Jason Solomons.

"He (Bay) made her wash his Ferrari while he filmed her," Solomons wrote in his film column for the Observer newspaper.

The critic said Fox was concerned as to where the footage may have ended up quizzing an embarrassed Bay over the bizarre audition.

"She said she didn't know what had happened to that footage. When I put it to Bay himself, he looked suitably abashed - 'Er, I don't know where it is either'," the critic wrote. Click the Movie button below for more info:
