Is Megan Fox the next Angelina Jolie?

We've heard so many comparisons between Angelina Jolie and Megan Fox that we decided to let these images speak for themselves.

Do the two sexiest women in the world look alike?

Well, Fox doesn't think so. The Transformers is so fed up of being compared to the Tomb Raider star that she has shot back with a retort of her own.

Fox, 23, believes that just because she has jet-black hair, thick red lips, and a sexy attitude that does not mean she is the next Jolie.

'I think its cause she has tattoos really, I think a lack of creativity on the media's part,' Fox News quoted her as saying.

'I am a brunette with tattoos, I curse and I have made mention of sex before. I joked about it which people find outrageous so they want to constantly compare that to her.

'You know Shia is the new Tom Hanks, Rihanna is the new Beyonce. Everybody is the new somebody although none of us are any of those people so you just walk around with it you live with it,' she added.

Fox also revealed that she would be too embarrassed to come face to face with Jolie after the press compared her to the Tomb Raider star.

Fox said that she did not deserve to be dubbed as 'the next Angelina Jolie' by the media, and that she would not be surprised if Jolie despised her already.

'If I were her, I'd be like, 'Who is this little brat who was in Transformers that's going to be the next me?' Contactmusic quoted her as telling Entertainment Weekly magazine. 

'I don't want to meet her; I'd be embarrassed,' she added.

But whether she likes it or not, the two do share a striking resemblance to each other. Even Fox' love life is just as unconventional as Jolie's. The 34-year-old is living in with partner Brad Pitt who she has six children.

While Fox doesn't have children yet, she does have an 'open relationship deal' with actor Brian Austin Green.

Fox has reportedly struck a deal with her alleged boyfriend resulting in the couple having an 'open relationship'.

The actress, who has purportedly been with the former Beverly Hills, 90210 star since 2004, was said to have bagged the better side of the agreement.

'They've agreed to an open relationship where Megan can see other men but Brian can't date anyone else,' The Sun quoted a source as telling the New York Daily News.

It was further alleged that the beauty has "six months" to decide if she wants to tie the knot with her 'lover'.

Meanwhile, Jolie's dad finds both his daughter and Fox to be 'both sexy gals'. 

Jon Voight thinks that his superstar daughter and Fox are quite similar. Speaking at the LA premiere of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, Voight said that both actresses were even following a similar career path.

'Well, they are both very beautiful women, and they are both sexy gals, you know,' Us magazine quoted Voight as saying.

He added: 'And they're both in action pictures now.'

But Voight thinks 'everybody is unique', and says: 'We are all so different from one another that we can't be compared -- but they are very attractive girls.'

The similarity between the two also extend to tattoos.

Fox has eight tattoos in total while Jolie has at least a dozen. Fox however had announced plans to cover her entire right arm with ink.

She says, 'They're definitely addictive. I don't have any that I truly regret yet, but I'm sure I will at some point.

'I'm trying to refrain from going forward for that reason. I don't want to be 40, looking at my arm in the mirror and going, 'Oh my God -- what did I do?'

Talking about crazy things, Fox confessed that she has a crush on Jolie and wishes to date her while speaking to a British magazine.

'I love Angelina Jolie. She's someone I admire and look up to. She's my favourite actress in Hollywood. I just love that she's incredibly honest, and I feel that she's not afraid to be herself. She tells you exactly what's on her mind,' Contactmusic quoted her as telling Britain's Heat magazine.

Fox, who in the recent past has been open about being bi-sexual, also added, 'If I could just be Angelina's girlfriend, I would be so happy.'

However, the Transformers star isn't keen on making other actresses her friend.

'I don't have any friends who are actresses. I actually only had one girlfriend growing up. Most of my friends were boys. I was such a tomboy,' she said.
