It seems like Oscar-winning actor Jon Voight only makes news these days when he’s speaking out on his very conservative views, or when he’s talking about his daughter, Angelina Jolie. Voight attended the Los Angeles premiere of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, and he either got some questions about the “similarities” between Megan Fox and Angelina, or he just decided to talk about them. First of all – Voight isn’t in the film. He was in the first Transformers, but he’s not in the sequel. So maybe he just wanted to see the movie… but then why is doing interviews on the red carpet?

Back to the comparisons… so, in Voight’s mind, Angelina and Megan are similar because “they are both very beautiful women, and they are both sexy gals.” Voight added that both Megan and Angelina are “both in action pictures now”… uh, come again? What action film does Angelina have coming out? At least he’s not mangling the names of his grandkids (does everone remember Zahara as “Shakira”?). Michael Bay sees similarities between Megan and Angelina too. But Bay goes old-school, and references Angelina’s appearance in a Meatloaf music video. Classic:

Angelina Jolie’s dad sees the similarities between his daughter and Megan Fox.

“Well, they are both very beautiful women, and they are both sexy gals, you know,” Jon Voight told Usmagazine.com at the L.A. premiere of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Monday.

“And they’re both in action pictures now,” he went on. Jolie’s thriller Salt hits theaters next summer.

Still, Voight thinks “everybody is unique. We are all so different from one another that we can’t be compared — but they are very attractive girls.”

Fox, 23, and Jolie, 34, have a similar career trajectory, according to the action flick’s director, Michael Bay.

“The truth is I gave Angelina her first job on a music video. It was a Meat Loaf video, years back [1994’s “Rock ‘n’ Roll Dreams Come Through”],” Bay told Us. “That was her very first job. And I gave Megan Fox her very first job.”

Fox — who told Us she’s “never met” the mom of six — has insisted she’s nothing like Jolie.

“Because I have tattoos and dark hair and I was in an action movie? That’s as far as the similarities extend,” she said earlier this month. “I’m not the next anyone.”

Instead of yelling and screaming about how Megan is nothing more than an extremely budget version of Angelina (just in looks), and how Megan loves when her name is mentioned alongside Angelina’s name, and how I really think Jon Voight is a senile bastard who should be kept away from the press, I’m just going to change the subject.

CB loves the human lie detector “Eyes for Lies” that she’s referenced on other posts. “Eyes for Lies” specializes in determining a person’s true intentions/emotions from their facial expressions, tics, tone of voice, eye movements, etc. CB recently sent in the post of Angelina’s interview with Anderson Cooper, and Eyes for Lies had some insight on Angelina’s intentions regarding her humanitarian work: “From this interview, you can’t read too much into Angelina’s relationship with Brad. There isn’t enough said to draw any conclusions. Angelina, however, seems to express a lot of compassion and caring for the refugees. She is a highly compassionate woman who picks up on the emotions of other people. When she looks at other people, she feels their emotions and is moved to action to help those less fortunate than herself. There is no doubt about it, her motivation is true and sincere.”

I guess I’m bringing up the “Eyes for Lies” assessment because I think in the long run, Megan will never be like Angelina – Megan isn’t smart enough, she doesn’t have the compassion or the emotional intelligence. Just because they’re both superficially “sexy gals” doesn’t mean Megan is fit to sit at the same table as Angelina.
