Taylor Lautner Shines in New Moon
Robert Pattinson had his moment in the spotlight when he played in “Twilight” as Edward Cullen. For “New Moon” however, he took a step back, allowing Taylor Lautner, who plays Jacob Black in the saga, to step up and shine.
The 17-year-old almost missed getting to stay in the films, as he wasn’t as big and buff as they needed him to be to play the part of a werewolf. He put on some extra pounds by eating every 2 hours and toning up his body with workouts quite nicely to keep the part though. It is this, along with his devotion to Bella Swan (played by Kristen Stewart) in the films, has brought him to the attention of young girls all over the world - even before the film has been released.
Even Kristen has noticed, but on a little bit of a different level. She says he has become a different person and grown up. He’s confident and a really nice guy, she continued, and she is very proud of him for doing so well.
Since Taylor has started looking so buff, this brought reporters to ask if he thought he could win a fight against Robert. His response was that Robert does a lot of boxing during his time off, so a match-up like that would be a good one. That’s probably not something that their teenage girl fans would want to see anyway - no matter if they like one over the other.
The new teen heartthrob has also addressed speculations about his relationship with singer Taylor Swift, but he applied some of Kristen’s own philosophy - not to worry too much about what he says to the press. In response to these questions, he says that since everyone sees everything he does anyway, he will let them decide.
