One of her devoted young admirers once tried to give the 37-year-old actress a sign of affection, but the actress turned down the offer.
A large group of paparazzi saw this situation happen, and naturally, they used their cameras to record the entire event.
Back in the UK, while Megan was promoting Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, Harvey Kindlon, then 11 years old and from London, was one among the many fans who turned up to show their support.
Megan became well-known for her role as Mikaela Banes, the girlfriend of Shia LaBeouf’s character Sam Witwicky in the sci-fi action series.
This resulted in a situation where she encountered young guys vying for her favor everywhere she went with men were fell at her feet.
In the now-famous photos, he is seen frantically trying to get close to Machine Gun Kelly’s fiancée as she is being led by security.
Harvey shoved his gift inches from Megan’s face, as if he was really excited to give it to her.
But in spite of his best attempts, she appeared to disregard the young admirer and walked by him with a pretty repulsed look.
A surge of sympathy for the 11-year-old, who went by the online moniker “Rose Boy,” was sparked by the photos that quickly went viral throughout the world.
Harvey subsequently told UNILAD that the tale was becoming more and more popular, and he was even made fun of on the school playground for the cold response he received.
During a Transformers press junket, 23-year-old Megan Fox learned about the dispute.
“There were, like, 80 million people everywhere,” she explained. I can only see flashes because it was dark. Everyone is shouting different things, and I was unaware of it.
“My heart is broken. I’m quite sorry for him. That is just awful. I’m killed by it.
“I’m sorry, sweet boy. I would never do that to you,” Megan said. If we ever cross paths again, I’d be happy to receive your rose.
“Paparazzi refused to allow you to see me. I feel very ashamed.
The photographic firm has generously offered $5,000 to enable the child realize his ambition of meeting the celebrity.
Kodak’s Worldwide Brand Marketing & Communications Vice President Leslie Dance told PerezHilton.com:
The power of an image to unite and transform the lives of two total strangers is astounding.
“If this photo is any indication, this boy was really hoping to meet Megan Fox and give her that rose, and we’d love to help make his fantastical wish come true.”
The internet’s power quickly came into play, and Harvey’s whereabouts was established.
Holly Bramley, his cousin, subsequently verified that the ardent admirer would be traveling to New York to see Megan face-to-face.
The original idea was for the two to get back together for a TV appearance while Megan was in New York.
Unfortunately, the abrupt death of Michael Jackson caused the program to be canceled, preventing their much-anticipated encounter.
According to reports, the meeting’s planning was subpar and there was no set time or date for the 11-year-old to see his idol.
Harvey, however, enjoyed his fifteen minutes in the spotlight and made the most of his newfound popularity by making a sofa appearance on Good Morning America.
It was interesting to learn that the rose Harvey tried to gift Megan really belonged to his cousin Cassie and wasn’t even his. As Megan passed by, Cassie, who was a fan of the actor herself, offered her a yellow rose.
In Harvey’s situation, the adage “never meet your heroes” assumes a new meaning, with the double rejection possibly acting as a warning for him to heed.
