‘Megan Fox was my poster girl’
GOAL: MGK and Megan Fox
Imagine getting to date a girl you had posters of on your wall as a laaitie.
That’s the reality Machine Gun Kelly is living with his girlfriend Megan Fox.
The 31-year-old – whose real name is Colson Bake – is currently dating the 35-year-old actress and admitted that she was his dream girl when he was a teenager.
The rapper had such a big crush that he got the Decepticons logo from Transformers – which Megan starred in – tattooed on his arm, had a poster of her from a GQ shoot on his wall and vowed to classmates that he would marry her one day.
Speaking to Megan during an interview with GQ.com, he said: “It was the GQ poster, right?” before adding: “It was from her GQ shoot. So that’s some full-circle s***.”
MGK also revealed that he is now living the life he always dreamed about.
He said: “You know what the dream was? It was exactly what happened to me, which was go to an awards show [the Billboard Music Awards where he was crowned top rock artist], shut down the carpet, go onstage, accept an award.”
Speaking about the attention he and Megan received at the awards, he said: “It has nothing to do with the award.
“I saw a British GQ article that came out this morning that basically was like, ‘Despite the fact that BTS was there, The Weeknd was there, Drake was there, the talk of the show was [us].’
“That over-zealous, overconfident 15-year-old must have known that it was attainable, even though everyone else was like, ‘You're out of your white-boy-rapping mind.’
“No one is sitting in math class thinking that [the next] Drake is sitting next to them.”
