Speaking to the US FHM after being crowned the sexiest woman in the world, The Transformers star confessed that she had never met the star, despite being frequently compared to her.

“I’m actually frightened of her, I haven’t had the opportunity to meet her and I try to avoid that because I’m afraid,” she explained.

“Angelina’s a powerful person and I bet she would eat me alive. I guess that is why I’m afraid of her.”

Both actresses have starred in big budget hero action movies.

The 22-year-old also played down speculation that she would replace Jolie as Lara Croft in Warner Brothers’s third instalment of the Tomb Raider franchise.

“There have been a lot of films I’ve had to pass on because I don’t want people thinking I’m trying to emulate her,” she said.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen will be out 24 June 2009.
