Megan Digs Deep

Just call her Indiana Fox! Megan Fox is taking her love of exploration to a new level with Travel Channel’s series Legends of the Lost With Megan Fox (Dec. 4, 8 p.m.), in which she investigates age-old mysteries like Stonehenge. “I’ve loved archaeology my whole life,” the actress, 32, tell Us. “I’ve been inspired by ancient religions and just the mystery of ‘What is humanity? Why are we here?’”

LOST AND FOUND Though Megan says it was her destiny to act, she also knows that her new show was “part of the path” she’s supposed to be on: “Sometimes we get to do things that really we shouldn’t be allowed to do.” NO FAMILY AFFAIR As much as Megan loves to explore the world, she prefers to keep her kids — Noah, 6, Bodhi, 4, and Journey, 2 — close to home. (Dad is Megan’s hubby,

Brian Austin Green.)

“I like for them to have a routine,” she says, though she’s excited to be part of a show they can watch — if she can persuade them to:

“They really don’t understand what it means that I’m inside movies.”

Some episodes will investigate whether women of history, like female Vikings, deserve more credit. “[I hope to] rid the world of patriarchy and toxic masculinity,”Megan says.
