Megan Fox’s Ex Brian Austin Green Reacts to Love Is Blind
Originally appeared on E! Online
Brian Austin Green isn't blind to the controversy surrounding his ex-wife Megan Fox.
Social media users have been going wild after Love Is Blind contestant Chelsea Blackwell admitted to her pod date Jimmy Presnell that she's been told she resembles the Transformers actress, with some fans calling that a stretch.
However, Brian is sympathetic to the reality star, telling TMZ on March 2 that "people should cut her some slack."
"Megan is a very one of a kind beauty," the Beverly Hills, 90210 actor explained. "It's why a lot of people say she's possibly the most beautiful woman in the world. She has a very incredible look to her, so that's a tough comparison I think for anyone to make."
And Brian—who shares children Noah, 11, Bodhi, 10, and Journey, 7, with Megan—doesn't believe the actress would mind the comment, noting, "I think Megan would be flattered."
And considering Chelsea has dark hair and blue eyes, he could see how "on certain days" she could have been told she looks like the bombshell.

"Stay in your lane, Chelsea. Keep your head up," he advised. "Don't listen to everybody else. Be proud of yourself and move on."
Furthermore, Brian—who got engaged to Dancing With the Stars' Sharna Burgess last year—said there's no need for Chelsea to apologize over her words.
However, the Love Is Blind star already confessed to sliding into Megan's DMs.
"I reached out to Megan," Chelsea exclusively told E! News, "and I just apologized to her, like 'I'm so sorry I included you in this mess.'"
While she didn't share if Megan replied, the flight attendance has been trying to brush off the drama with a smile, joking last month that she's being "dragged" for her offhand comment.
"I do feel bad. Everyone's like ‘You catfished him!' Man, I didn't mean to," Chelsea told Access Hollywood. "I do regret having that conversation with him. Why'd we have to do that?"
E! News has reached out to Megan's rep for comment on the show but hasn't heard back.

<p>Jared Leto & Scott Disick</p>
In a November 2023 Sirius XM interview, Leto was asked his thoughts on being compared to the Kardashians star, to which he said, "Really? Lucky me," and after a pause, added, "Thank you."
He also noted that if they were actually related, "Then I would have a rich relative. Because he's very wealthy, right? Yeah, that would be nice."
<p>Amy Adams & Isla Fisher</p>
The Nocturnal Animals costars are aware of the comparison. In 2016, Fisher said on NBC's Today show that she once pasted Adams' face over hers for her family's holiday card.
<p>Margot Robbie & Emma Mackey</p>
It was no coincidence the actresses were both cast in Barbie.
"I've been getting told for years that I look like the girl from Sex Education, who is Emma Mackey," Robbie told BuzzFeed in a July video. "She plays one of the Barbies in the movie pretty much because [director] Greta [Gerwig] and I thought it would be funny. We were gonna do like this whole joke about us looking similar."
She continued, "Then once we got all dressed up as our Barbies, we were kind of like, 'We don't actually look that similar.'' When she's got her brown hair and I've got my blonde hair, we don't look that similar. So we didn't put that joke in the movie. But when people come up and say, 'I loved you in Sex Education,' I just say, 'Thank you. Thank you so much.'"
Margot Robbie & Jaime Pressly
"The celebrity I am mistaken for is Margot Robbie," the My Name Is Earl actress told Us Weekly in 2022. "It happens all the time."
Jessica Chastain & Bryce Dallas Howard
The Help co-stars look so alike that director Ron Howard mistook Chastain for his own daughter.
At an Apple Store, "I was, like, walking by, I was like, 'Oh, that's Ron Howard,'" Chastain recalled. "And then my friend was with me (and) said he turned to someone, he goes, 'I think I just saw Bryce.' We look so much alike."
Bryce confirmed that the story was "legit" in an interview with Entertainment Tonight, saying her dad "was, like, shook. He really was."
"At first he was like, 'You really look so much alike,' " she said. "And I mean, obviously, I'm incredibly flattered, so it's great."
Reese Witherspoon & Carrie Underwood
Neither celeb was upset when a social media user thought Witherspoon was Underwood.
"To the woman in the parking lot who just asked me if I was Carrie Underwood," the Legally Blonde star tweeted, "You officially made my day."
The Grammy winner quickly responded, "YOUR day?!?!?!?! That lady just made my whole life!"
Mark Ruffalo & Noah Centineo
"He's way better-looking than I was," Ruffalo said on the Tonight Show in March 2019. "Are you kidding me? I wish I looked like that, I swear to God."
Daniel Radcliffe & Elijah Wood
Harry Potter and Frodo are well aware fans confuse them.
"Though we are both short, pale, blue-eyed and brown-haired, I would say we don't actually look alike," Radcliffe said in a joint interview with Empire magazine. "But the idea of us is exactly the same."
In fact, while in Japan, Radcliffe was even asked to autograph a photo of Wood.
"So the quickest way to deal with it was to just write, 'I am not Elijah Wood, signed Daniel Radcliffe,'" he explained, "and then hope someone translated that for him later."

These two get mistaken for each other all the time. Just ask them.
"When we were at the White House Correspondents' dinner," the comedian said when Banks stopped by Chelsea Lately. "Bill O'Reilly was talking to me and I said, 'I think you're confusing me with Elizabeth Banks,' because I wanted to get the f--k away from him."
Aaron Paul & Tom Felton
