It’s widely understood that Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly first met in 2020 on the set of their movie, “Midnight in the Switchgrass.” At the time, Fox was separated from then-husband Brian Austin Green. During his appearance on “The Drew Barrymore Show,” Kelly revealed that he and Fox coupled up during their work filming together, and that he had largely taken on the movie role in order to meet the “Jennifer’s Body” actor. “I stayed outside the trailer … I knew she would invite me to lunch,” MGK said. As we now know, the rest is history!
However, in an unexpected twist, the duo had actually met prior to “Midnight in the Switchgrass,” as they explained in an October 2021 interview with GQ. Both Kelly and Fox had attended the same party in Los Angeles years before, though neither can recall seeing the other’s face. Remembering MGK only as a “tall, blond, ghostly creature,” Fox told him, “You smell like weed.” And in MGK’s immortal first words to his future wife, he simply said, “I am weed.” The whole thing is bizarre — but would you have expected anything less from the couple who continues to surprise us? According to Fox at least, it’s a blessing in disguise that she didn’t manage to see Kelly properly. “Thank God, [because] what torture had I known you were there and I couldn’t get to you,” Fox said. “It’s better that I didn’t know.”
