We all know her as the fearless heroine from Transformers and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. But aside from that, Megan Fox is certainly an interesting lady beyond the action-packed sequence and blockbuster franchises that make up most of her portfolio.
Behind her overarching fame lies a creative soul hiding a secret passion, that is anime! This stunning actress famous for her dashing presence on screen harbors a deep love for the Japanese entertainment industry, that most of you might not know of.
This Proves Megan Fox is NOT a Fake Anime Fan
Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly (MGK) have done it again! The power couple bared their inner otakus and threw it back to the fantastic anime series Death Note, dressing up in an awe-inspiring cosplay duo as Light and Ryuk. Their choice of the eerie precision of the cosplays proved them as true fans of this critical, much-revered anime classic.

Megan Fox and MGK barged into a spook-tacular soap opera couple, steaming the competition away at Vas Morgan and Michael Braun’s Halloween party. She became the witty Light (or maybe an apple), while MGK morphed into the spooky presence of Ryuk. Literally owning the stage, the high-profile couple did much to solidify the status of anime fans who do not fear to show their passions.

On X, comments poured into the platform as people went excitedly wild on the masterstroke by Megan with her gender-bender Light costume (or again maybe an apple), while others pointed out MGK’s eerily fitting Ryuk cosplay persona.

Not everyone was, however, impressed. In the midst of all the acclaim, some haters have been calling the cosplay done by the couple gibberish.

For a devoted fan though, Megan and MGK’s efforts in paying homage to beloved characters in anime should be respected as they showed genuine interest and shared enthusiasm for Japanese animation.
Fox and MGK’s Death Note cosplay was about more than just one-time fun and games, it went beyond that to an authentic appreciation for the anime and its memorable characters.
Death Note is available to watch on Crunchyroll.
