A resurfaced clip from 2014 is making the rounds showing actress Megan Fox poking fun at talk show host Conan O’Brien’s eccentric tendencies during an appearance on his late-night show. Fox was promoting Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles at the time, playing reporter April O’Neil in the franchise reboot. The interview took a comedic turn when the actress analyzed O’Brien’s natal chart in astrology.
How Did Megan Fox Mock Conan O’Brien’s “Eccentric” Horoscope?
In the resurfaced clip Megan Fox says:
“Your moon is in Aquarius, which is a sign of the eccentric and sort of makes a little bit more sense,” Fox teased after examining the chart.
“But the ruling planet of Aquarius is Uranus. So what I know from looking at this, just at a glance, is that your emotions are heavily tied to Uranus.”
As the audience erupted into laughter, O’Brien leaned into the joke asking,
“Are you saying I’m full of crap?”
Fox also accentuated the situation in her brutal astrological roast, later calling the host “deranged” according to his celestial blueprint. O’Brien even debuted a drawing of a half-man, half-buttocks creature, dubbed his “spirit animal” per Fox’s assessment.
What Was Megan Fox’s Connection to TMNT Before Starring as April O’Neil?
The viral 2014 interview has sparked a wave of amused reactions from fans on social media, like, “If she was making a joke gotta give her credit, this bit is hilarious” and “Great look from Conan when she says ‘Your emotions are heavily tied to Uranus’”.
Fox also discussed dark aspects of her life at the time, being restricted from viewing most media as a child except Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. She revealed plans to let her young sons watch films but no TV. Fox shared that she “campaigned” hard to win the starring role in the 2014 reboot after growing up a major Turtles fan. As April O’Neil, her character drew s*xist remarks from Michelangelo, whom Fox named as her favorite Turtle.
Clearly, Fox felt a close bond with TMNT since childhood, giving her roast of O’Brien an extra level of humor. Over 8 years later, her cutting astrology jabs at the talk show host endure as hilarious viral content.
