Megan Fox got over her germaphobia after giving birth to her son.

In an interview with the new UK issue of Marie Claire magazine, she said: "I think Brian was waiting to see what I would do, because, you know, when they come out they are covered in all kinds of stuff. I took him right on my chest and from that moment nothing he does freaks me out.

"The anxiety has been significantly better since he was born. I would say 80 percent better, which is nice."

Although she has learned to be more carefree about germs, some habits are harder to curtail as the 26-year-old beauty admits she still drives former 'Beverly Hills, 90210' star Brian, 39, "nuts" by leaving clothes on the floor.

She said: "I'm a germaphobe, but I'm really messy. I'm not disgusting - like, I don't leave food or dirty dishes out or anything, but I take my clothes off next to the laundry basket without putting them in and that drives him nuts."
