## Key points

- Fox expected the kiss scene to be sensationalised.
- She said it distracted from the film’s themes.
- *Jennifer’s Body* later found a devoted audience.

## Summary

Megan Fox has said she and Amanda Seyfried dreaded filming the kiss in *Jennifer’s Body* because they expected it to be marketed as a sensational sexual moment. Fox felt that focus would obscure the scene’s purpose and the film’s themes of female empowerment, contributing to a public misunderstanding that she says affected how the movie was regarded.

The 2009 horror film, written by Diablo Cody, follows a demon-possessed cheerleader whose friend realises what has happened to her. It barely recouped its $16 million domestic budget and received lukewarm reviews at the time, but has since gained a devoted following. Fox has called it her favourite project and said the attention paid to the kiss detracted from the film’s importance.
