LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Megan Fox starred in the biggest movie of the summer, the Michael Bay-directed "Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen," but according to the actress, the director almost killed her and co-star Shia LaBeouf with his "Napoleon" and "Hitler" tendencies.

The box office bombshell unleashed on Bay in an interview with Britain's Wonderland magazine in its September/October issue.

And Megan's comparisons don't stop with just the 19th century dictator.

"He wants to be like Hitler on his sets, and he is. So he's a nightmare to work for but when you get him away from set, and he's not in director mode, I kind of really enjoy his personality because he's so awkward, so hopelessly awkward," Megan continued. "He has no social skills at all. And it's endearing to watch him. He's vulnerable and fragile in real life and then on set he's a tyrant."
And according to Megan, Bay pushes his actors to the almost breaking point while filming.
"Shia and I almost die when we make a 'Transformers' movie," she told the mag. "He has you do some really insane things that insurance would never let you do."

Read this article and wonder if anyone else feels like he might have it and for that matter what other film directors ?

Bay doesn't have Asperger's. He is actually severely mentally ret*d.

Not sure if he has AS but those descriptions make him sound bossy than anything.

Personally, I think we have to take into account the nature of the job as director. When you think about everything involved, the director can't p**** foot around. Deadlines, budgets and actors. S\he has to take charge and in a sense be a control freak to steer the course. I definitely think there has to be a sense of ego involved. It's a high intensity job.

That said, I don't think Michael Bay is an Aspie. I think he's just a bit of a dick. That's the way he reads to me, and that's off the set.
