Megan Fox: We Will All Laugh At Gilded Butterflies

What's the meaning of Megan Fox's Tattoo? We Will All Laugh At Gilded Butterflies appears to be a reference to line from Shakespeare's King Lear:

Come, let's away to prison:
We too alone will sing like birds I' the cage;
When thou dost ask me blessing I'll kneel down
And ask of thee forgiveness; so we'll live,
And pray, and sing, and tell old tales, and laugh
At gilded butterflies...

-- King Lear to daughter Cordelia

Cordelia was the good daughter by the way. Maybe Megan Fox has daddy issues.

  • I dont understand why people hate. Obviously she got this tatoo because it means something to her.. She is gorgeous and maybe she does have daddy isues. Im only thirteen and if she does have problems with her dad.. I understand.

  • Ok you people are looking into it a little bit too much..maybe she just loves Shakespeare. And even if there is some meaning behind her getting this tattoo.. I doubt it's of her regarding to herself as a "gilded butterfly". If anything she would be...

  • its beautiful how she is actually mocking herself and her sex symbol persona with her tattoo, it says a lot about her and who she really is under her gilded image. She is a butterfly, and yet all people see in her is her gold outter layer. 2 thumbs...
