Megan Fox better watch what she says about Michael Bay and his abilities as a director. Page Six says that before Megan got her breakout part in The Transformers movies, Michael B. made her come over to his house and wash his Ferrari as her audition. The best part? He filmed it!

“He made her wash his Ferrari while he filmed her. She said she didn’t know what had happened to that footage. When I put it to Bay himself, he looked suitably abashed — ‘Er, I don’t know where it is either.’ ”

Is a sexy car washing the equivalent of the casting couch at Michael Bays house?

At first I thought it was super creepy that he would need to film the sexy girl washing the hot car…but I guess when your biggest screen moment is going to be this (see picture) that sort of audition sounds about right.

Megan Fox hurt Michael Bays little feelings a while back when she said that Transformers wasn’t what you would call cinematic masterpiece. “I can’t shit on this movie because it did give me a career and open all these doors for me. But I don’t want to blow smoke up people’s ass. People are well aware that this is not a movie about acting.”

Not one to take crap from a empty-headed actress….Michael snapped back through UsWeekly. “Well, that’s Megan Fox for you! She says some very ridiculous things because she’s 23 years old and she still has a lot of growing to do. You roll your eyes when you see statements like that and think, ‘Okay Megan, you can do whatever you want. I got it. Nick Cage wasn’t a big actor when I cast him, nor was Ben Affleck. before I put him in Armageddon. Shia LaBeouf wasn’t a big movie star before he did Transformers — and then he exploded. Not to mention Will Smith and Martin Lawrence, from Bad Boys. Nobody in the world knew about Megan Fox until I found her and put her in Transformers. I like to think that I’ve had some luck in building actors’ careers with my films.”
