Megan Fox 'explains Rourke tattoo'

Megan Fox

Megan Fox has clarified past comments she made stating that she got a tattoo on her ribcage in honour of Mickey Rourke.

The actress previously described Rourke as a "beautiful, wonderful human being" and said that she chose the marking to celebrate her feelings for her Passion Play co-star.

Speaking to MTV News, Fox denied rumours sparked by the admission which suggested that she had been having an affair with Rourke.

"It turned into, even though I was in love with [husband] Brian [Austin Green], it turned into that I was secretly in love with Mickey Rourke and got a tattoo to release the angst," she recalled.

"It was not about that. I have a tattoo that is a Nietzsche quote that sort of basically is about marching to the beat of your own drummer and not being afraid to do that. I was saying that it reminds me of Mickey, of course, because he clearly is not marching to anyone else's drummer, drumbeat, and that's all."

She added: "It's not necessarily an homage to him." (taheena)
