Actress Megan Fox broke down in tears when asked about her children during an interview published this week.
The mother of three said she is most concerned about her 8-year-old son, whom she encourages to wear dresses to school, something the boy has done since he was at least four years old.

The actress told InStyle that young Noah has been targeted by “mean, horrible, cruel people” on the Internet.
“I don’t want him to have to read that garbage because he hears it from little kids in his own school who say, ‘Boys don’t wear dresses,'” Fox, 35, said.
In 2019, Fox told “The Talk” that Noah, then 6, wore dresses to his “really liberal hippie school,” and noted that she is trying to teach him “confidence.”
“I send him to a really liberal hippie school, but even there, there are still little kids who say, ‘Boys don’t wear dresses’ or ‘Boys don’t wear pink’.
“Two days ago he wore one to school, and when he got home I said, ‘How was it? Did any friends at school have anything to say?” recalled the “Jennifer’s Body” actress.
“And he said, ‘Well, all the guys laughed when I walked in, but I don’t care, I love dresses’.”
In 2017, Fox’s ex, Brian Austin Green, argued that “it’s his life” when he defended Noah, then 4, wearing dresses in public.
“My son, he’s four,” Green said, PEOPLE reported. “I’ve heard some people disagree with him wearing dresses. He’s 4 years old and if he wants to wear it, he wears it. It doesn’t hurt anybody to wear a dress.”
