Screen siren Megan Fox won’t be flaunting her famous ‘assets’ in new movie Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

The Transformers star, who is playing the role of April O’Neil in the remake, has told Entertainment Weekly that director Jonathan Leibesman’s vision for the film means no gratuitous revealing of skin is needed.

Speaking to the publication she said: “I’m completely clothed for the entire movie. There’s no gratuitous skin or sexual anything. Jonathan was really insistent on not wanting her to be sexualized or to take that sort of typical role we’ve seen women take in movies thus far, and that I’ve taken in particular.”

She goes on to say that her character O’Neil is: “more of a leader when she explores her relationship with the turtles instead of just the human companion that gets dragged along on the adventure. It’s more representative of a modern woman.”

Keeping covered up is a recurring topic for Megan, who announced after the birth of her now 15-month-old son Noah, that she’d be keeping her clothes on for a while to avoid embarrassing him.
