Megan Fox is on a never-ending quest for self-love.
The 37-year-old actress simply sizzled in striking images as one of the cover stars for Sports Illustrated Swimsuit edition, where she revealed she struggles with a mental health condition which causes her to think negatively about her appearance.
“I have body dysmorphia,” Fox admitted while on location with the publication for their famous swimwear issue.
The “Transformers” actress posed nearly naked in a silver, chain-link bikini with metallic pieces dangling across her body as she kneeled in the ocean for the cover shot.

“There’s never a point in my life where I loved my body – never ever,” she revealed. “When I was little, that was an obsession I had of, like, that I ‘should’ look this way.”
She added, “Why I had an awareness of my body that young … I’m not sure and it definitely wasn’t environmental because I grew up in a very religious environment where bodies weren’t even acknowledged.”
