Megan Foxis looking back at past onscreen collaborations that left her “addicted to falling in love.”
Earlier this week, the actress, 37,appeared onThe Drew Barrymore Show, where she opened up about falling in love while filming projects when she was younger.
After hostDrew Barrymoreasked Fox about relationships, the star said, “When I was young, I was really rebellious and wild and was always running away to fall in love with a new love, every costar.”
Detailing that she was “just a free spirit,” Fox continued, “I was addicted to falling in love, and I think I probably hurt a lot of people in that process too, because a lot of people have been in love with me and I did not respect or honor that.”

According to Fox, things changed, however, after she began to have kids. (She and ex-husbandBrian Austin Greenshare sonsNoah Shannon, 11,Bodhi Ransom, 9, andJourney River, 7.)
“When I had kids, something happened in me,” she said. “… I think it’s a major part of my soul’s journey in this lifetime to not repeat my parents’ pattern with my kids, and I was always very aware of that, so this selfless person was born when I birthed my first child.”

“When I was young, I did have a temper and I was wild, I got mad and I took a bunch of paint and I painted a Friedrich Nietzsche quote all over [this guy’s] wall, so he had to repaint his house afterwards,” Fox explained. “It was like a really angry quote about, like, how life is futile, you suck basically. So he had to repaint the bedroom.”

Fox also did not shy away from highlighting how she may have been a less-than-ideal partner in the past, telling Barrymore during another segment of the show, “Anyone who dated me in my early 20s should probably write their own poetry book,because I was not a peach.”
She then highlighted the support she has received from fiancéMachine Gun Kellythroughout the writing process of her latest project, explaining, “I think it helps that he’s an artist himself and recognizes that he has this outlet where he gets to experience his catharsis through songwriting — where he gets to express his pain in that way.”
“As an actor, you don’t really have that, because I’m reading someone else’s dialogue. So I don’t really get to go to work and putmy experiences and my paininto my art,” Fox continued. “So he recognized that I needed an outlet for that, and when you love someone, you’re not gonna deny them their right to experience a relief from their suffering.”
