Megan Fox doesn’t want to be like Scarlett Johansson — because she would hate to have to prove herself in order to be taken seriously.

“I don’t want to have to be like a Scarlett Johansson — who I have nothing against,” the Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen star tells Esquire in its June issue, “but I don’t want to have to go on talk shows and pull out every single SAT word I’ve every learned to prove, like, ‘Take me seriously, I am intelligent, I can speak.’

“I don’t want to have to do that. I resent having to prove that I’m not a retard — but I do. And part of it is my own fault.”

“I’m just really confident sexually, and I think that sort of oozes out of my pores,” she adds. “It’s just there. It’s something I don’t have to turn on.”

Fox — who was recently named FHM’s Sexiest Woman in the World for 2008 — admits she doesn’t know how to deal with being a sex symbol.

“If you know how to take control of [being a sex symbol], then it can be powerful,” she said. “But I have no idea how to handle it yet, how to deal with it.”
