Fox also explained how she “ran” from fashion and embraced athleisure because it was far, far away from the Hollywood image that she thought she had to portray. Of course, even her most laid-back outfits grab fans’ attention and she managed to become a different sort of style icon in the process of finding her fashion identity.

“I’ve had a weird relationship with fashion because for so long I was rejecting being famous and rejecting whatever this image was that was sort of hung on me, this person I was supposed to be,” she added. “And so for a long time, I ran from fashion and lived in nothing but sweatpants or workout clothes and never wanted to express myself. My expression was blocked in that way for a long time.”

Elsewhere in her interview, Fox opened up about parenting and how she’s using her experience with men to make sure that her sons (she shares three boys with her ex-husband Brian Austin Green) are the kind of men who can embrace and analyze their emotions in a healthy way.

“Because I have sons, it’s very important to me to raise boys who are not like these men that I’ve been with. It’s very important for me to raise boys who are able to have a very deep emotional intimacy with their partner,” she explained. “It’s very important to me that they are not liars, that they are able to be fully transparent and honest and respectful.”
