Megan Fox is a big fan of Russell Westbrook. Fox and Westbrook were picked to present the best female athlete award at the 2014 Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Sports Awards on Thursday. The world will probably not remember that the award went to gymnast Gabby Douglas because a starstruck Megan Fox grabbed all the headlines.
Most people in the audience or watching at home probably missed the awkwardness of the unexpected encounter but Fox made sure to highlight it on social media for them. Brian Austin Green’s wife wrote on Facebook, the day after the ceremony:
“I never get star struck but I got to present with Russell Westbrook and he’s so gorgeous in person I just giggled like an idiot the entire time.”
After reading her post and rewatching their portion of the show, it looks like Megan Fox was indeed a bit nervous standing next to Russell Westbrook. The moment is quite hilarious.
Should the former “Beverly Hills, 90210,” actor be worried about the statement made by the mother-of-two ? Probably not, Megan Fox has a long list of celebrity crushes. Olivia Wilde and Jenna Jameson are among her favorites.
Russell Westbrook is 25 and he is from Long Beach, California. He now plays for the Oklahoma City Thunder in the NBA with Kevin Durant. Megan Fox is 28, she is from Oak Ridge, Tennessee, and moved to Los Angeles when she was 17. So it is hard to see where they met before and Fox is not a known sports fan.
At the end of the day it probably does not matter much where they crossed paths. What is important is that the Transformers actress who is often listed as one of the sexiest women on this planet got starstruck in front of someone else.
She is usually the one receiving all the attention from fans, this time the shoe was on the other foot. Russell Westbrook who is famous for his great sense of fashion outside of the basketball arena made it happen.
He is now considered a hero in some corners of the globe.
