Megan Fox appears on the February cover of Esquire Magazine

o-MEGAN-FOX-570 slide_274871_1987303_free slide_274871_1987304_free slide_274871_1987306_free

On Tuesday, Jan. 15, Esquire.com released a cover shot and some bonus pictures of actress Megan Fox in advance of the February issue of their magazine.

Having given birth to a newborn son Noah Shannon back in September, Fox is already in great shape less than four months later.

Despite showing off a sleek figure, Fox admitted to the magazine that she still has 10 pounds to lose before feeling fully comfortable.

What’s notable about Fox’s interview for the magazine is that she appeared to take a slight diss towards fellow actress Lindsay Lohan.

In the process of getting a personal Marilyn Monroe tattoo removed, Fox compared the iconic figure to Lohan, a troubled star of today.

“She was sort of like Lindsay. She was an actress who wasn’t reliable, who almost wasn’t insurable,” Fox claimed “She had all the potential in the world, and it was squandered. I’m not interested in following in those footsteps.”

Fox has since tried to downplay her comments, taking to her personal Facebook page to clarify her comments.

”I intended for this to be a factual comparison of two women with similar experiences in Hollywood,” she said. “Unfortunately it turned into me offering up what is really much more of an uneducated opinion. It was most definitely not my intention to criticize or degrade Lindsay. I would never want her to feel bullied, as she does not deserve that.”

Remains to be seen if Lindsay will offer up any kind of a response.
