When rumour circulated that Megan Fox had been sacked from the Transformers franchise that had made her a pin-up star, the actress, 24, was quick to reply. Her reps speedily issued a statement saying, "It was her decision not to return."

But according to TheWrap.com, when Fox arrived on the set of Transformers 3, her "unhealthy" appearance caused director Michael Bay to give the actress an ultimatum to pack on the pounds. When she returned, still slim, tension between them caused her to walk out.

"Mike doesn't like skinny actresses," Fox said last June. "So I'm always the fattest I've ever been when making a Transformers movie."

New photos of Fox frolicking with boyfriend Brian Austin Green on a Maui beach show the actress has a dramatically slimmer figure.

"She was contracted to do a third movie, so if they really wanted her back, they could have forced her," an insider tells WHO. "Basically she decided to leave and they let her go."

Perhaps there are other issues preventing her from putting on weight. The actress, who has stated she suffers from obsessive compulsive disorder, also claimed in Allure magazine, "I'll starve to death before I'll cook for myself."

"I think I could survive a week without eating," she said.

And she has other health problems that affect her food intake. "I found out I'm anemic," the actress has said. "I have to eat twice as much protein. That's really my only diet restriction."

As for the exercise routine that gives Fox her enviable shape: "I do pilates and acro-yoga, which is a combination of acrobatics and yoga. It's hard!' she says.
