That would have been a double whammy,” people.com quoted her as saying. Meanwhile, Fox, who has a son with husband Brian Austin Green, says she is an occasional cook. “I really love cooking for the holidays, and I always try and do something challenging. But on a day-to-day basis, it’s not my thing.” The 28-year-old recent release is “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles”, which sees her as a fearless reporter. (IANS)
