Machine Gun Kelly reveals he got a Transformers tattoo and had poster of girlfriend Megan Fox on his wall before they even met

It seems Machine Gun Kelly got the girl of his dreams.

In a new interview with GQ, the rapper and actor revealed he was pining for 35-year-old Megan Fox long before they met and started dating. 

Speaking to journalist and childhood friend Wesley Lowery, Kelly — real name Colson Baker — confessed he was such a fan of the actress, he got a Decepticons logo from her movie, Transformers, tattooed on his arm and had a poster of her in his bedroom.

"It was from her GQ shoot," Kelly, 31, said of the poster that hung on the bedroom wall in his house in Cleveland, where he grew up. "So that's some full-circle s--t."

Lowery — who went to high school with Kelly — also revealed in the article that "at least one classmate recalls [Kelly] vowing he'd marry [Fox] one day".

Kelly continued to sing Fox's praises when they met last year on the set of their upcoming thriller, Midnight in the Switchgrass. Most recently, a smitten Kelly said his girlfriend is "like the earth" as he gushed to InStyle about their relationship last month.

"When it's summer, it's the hottest summer. When it's winter, it's the most amazing chill. In the fall and spring, it's a beautiful transition. She is unlike any person I have ever met in my life," he told the magazine.

"I just want people to understand this is real," he continued. "I don't think people get the opportunity to believe in real, great love, and that's what we have together." 

The duo went public with their romance in May 2020, with the blessing of Fox's estranged husband, actor Brian Austin Green. Fox and the Beverly Hills, 90210 star secretly separated in December 2019 after 10 years of marriage and three children: Noah, eight, Bodhi, seven, and Journey, four.
