It certainly looks like Megan Fox can relate to many other parents working from home.

During her remote interview with "Today" on Monday, the "Transformers" star was adorably photobombed by her kids, who not-so-subtly crawled in the background. Fox and her ex-husband Brian Austin Green share three children: Noah, 8; Bodhi, 7; and Journey, 4.

About a minute into the interview about her upcoming horror film "Till Death," host Jenna Bush Hager pointed out that "we saw one of your children running in the background."

"Here comes another one right now," Fox added, as her 4-year-old wandered into the frame. "Journey, you've got to crawl!"

Throughout the rest of the interview, Fox held back laughter as her kids crawled around the living room, where Fox said they fell asleep watching a movie the night prior.

"They just woke up," Fox said of her kids. "It's 7:30 here, so they woke up a few minutes ago, and it just is what it is. You just have to make it work."

The actress also opened up about watching her kids get older, saying she wishes she could "put them all back at that 2- and 3-year-old period" for one day.

"I actually really struggle with that a lot. I cry about it all the time, because they grow up so fast," she said. "My phone will send me pictures of them when they were younger, and it's hard to look at it. It's painful to love something so much. But I have three boys. They are hilarious. They don't listen to me at all."

She continued: "I also feel like no matter how engaged you are or how hard you were trying at the time, you always look back, and you're like, 'I could have been more present,' or 'I hope I was grateful for this while I was in that moment, cause I'll never get that moment back.'"

'Hollywood is not adapted to women': Megan Fox shares 'pressure' of being a working mom

Fox also got candid about the attention her relationship with rapper Machine Gun Kelly has received from the media.

"It's not preferable when everything you do is a news headline or that people know every time you leave your house, but so far so good," she said. "Life is just a series of moments, so I'm really just trying to enjoy this moment and live in it and be happy with it."

During her appearance on "The Kelly Clarkson Show" in May, Fox opened up about being a mom in the entertainment industry, calling Hollywood's attitude toward motherhood "unforgiving."

"Hollywood is not adapted to women and us actually having lives and being moms," she told Clarkson.

The actress added that the entertainment industry can be tough before and after having child.

"As an actor it's just very unforgiving because you can't be on camera once you're past a certain stage of pregnancy," she said. "Once you have the baby it's like, 'OK, well you're going to have to leave to nurse every two hours and that costs us money and insurance.'"

Despicable harassment! Police protection for Chris Whitty?

Ministers speak out after video emerges of chief medical officer apparently being manhandled

Chris Whitty may be given police protection after another video surfaced of England’s chief medical officer being subjected to “appalling abuse”.

Senior politicians have condemned the latest incident, with Boris Johnson saying he was “shocked at seeing the despicable harassment” and Priti Patel, the home secretary, saying she was horrified by the “terrible” behaviour towards a “remarkable public servant” who is one of the most senior government officials tackling the Covid crisis.

The health secretary, Sajid Javid, said such behaviour would not be tolerated and that those responsible “should be ashamed”. The vaccines minister, Nadhim Zahawi, said they were “thugs” and should face charges.

Video emerged on social media on Monday of people filming in selfie mode appearing to manhandle Whitty, while he struggles to get away.

The Metropolitan police confirmed they were investigating, saying in a statement: “We are aware of a video being shared online showing an incident in St James’s Park [in Westminster]. Officers spoke to all those involved at the time and their details were taken. We are in contact with the victim and the circumstances continue to be investigated.”

In the video, Whitty manages to duck his head under an arm of one of the men holding on to him. As he tries to walk away a man can be heard saying: “Just one photo, please,” while another says: “One photo mate.”

They then pull him back towards them putting their arms around him as he again attempts to get away.

Patel said Whitty was a “an incredibly respected figure” and told Times Radio: “I am horrified by what has happened to Chris. The police are involved as well and we’re speaking to Chris to look at what we can do to support him.”

She suggested he could be offered police protection. When asked if he needed it, Patel said: “It’s important we make sure that Chris is given the right kind of support. It is terrible to see such an important public figure – someone that day in, day out has been serving our country in the way in which he has to keep us safe – being subject to such appalling abuse.”

Earlier this month Whitty was followed down a street by a prominent anti-vaccine activist who yelled at him for being a “liar”.

In February he was also called a “liar” multiple times while waiting for a takeaway lunch at a street food stall, prompting condemnation when the footage emerged.

Last week Whitty’s deputy, Jonathan Van-Tam, was confronted in the street outside the Ministry of Defence building by an anti-vaccine activist who accused him of poisoning Matt Hancock.

Footage of the incident, which was shared on Facebook, shows the activist following him and yelling at him. Downing Street condemned the abuse, calling it “appalling behaviour”.
