Megan Fox has opened up about her nine-year-old son Noah and his penchant for dresses.
Speaking to Glamour UK, the Jennifer's Body star, 35, became emotional as she spoke about being unable to control the "way other people react to my children".
Fox told the magazine: “Noah started wearing dresses when he was about two, and I bought a bunch of books that sort of addressed these things and addressed a full spectrum of what this is.
“Some of the books are written by transgender children. Some of the books are just about how you can be a boy and wear a dress; you can express yourself through your clothing however you want. And that doesn’t even have to have anything to do with your sexuality.”
The actress went on to say that from a very young age, she incorporated these lessons into their everyday lives so that they would never have to feel "strange" or "weird."
Fox continued: “I can’t control the way other people react to my children. I can’t control the things that other children – that they go to school with – have been taught and then repeat to them.
“That’s also why I don’t really put my children on Instagram or social media. I’m so proud of my kids. Noah is an unbelievable pianist. He can learn Mozart’s concerto in an hour.
“I want people to see that, but I also don’t want the world to have access to this gentle soul and say all the things that we all know they’re going to say."
She explained further to the outlet that she sends her children to a school where the other parents are similar in their beliefs. The Transformers star also said that the other children, for the most part, do not use the internet the way a lot of kids do these days.
Fox explained: "So they know that their parents are famous, but their knowledge of it is very limited. I knew when they were very young, I wanted to try to protect them however I could, especially limiting their exposure to the internet.
"So far, we’ve done a really good job and we maintain their innocence in a lot of ways, but I know I can’t protect them forever, though I do have a child that suffers."
