Taylor Lautner

Women swooned for Robert Pattinson as vampire Edward Cullen in last year's hit movie romance Twilight, but in its sequel, New Moon, Taylor Lautner, who almost didn't make it into the first film, is the newest hunk for fans to feast on. In New Moon, the second in the Twilight Saga about the netherworld adventures of teenager Bella Swan (Stewart) and Edward Cullen (Pattinson), it is Lautner who grabs the spotlight. Outside the movies, his close relationship with another hot star, Taylor Swift, also keeps him in the limelight.

Taylor Lautner on Eclipse: It's My Favorite!

When fans ask Taylor Lautner to take his shirt off, he politely declines, but points them to June 30.

That's the premiere for Eclipse, of course, a film that will once again deliver plenty of Jacob Black in the semi-buff.

The man behind that amazing torso spoke to Matt Lauer on Today this morning and first showed his gratitude for the part he plays in general, saying:

"I embrace this role and this franchise. It's done many things for me, I give all the thanks to it and I'm having the time of my life with it."

As for Eclipse, Lautner doesn't need to sell the movie, as it will clearly make hundreds of millions around the world.

Still, he and Kristen Stewart have been promoting the heck out of the third Twilight Saga flick for weeks and he said today:

"Eclipse is definitely my favorite of the series. I feel like Eclipse takes everything about the franchise - the romance, the action, the danger - and it takes it all to the next level." (thehollywoodgossip)

Taylor Lautner: GQ Stud

He’s one of the hottest actors in Hollywood, and Taylor Lautner shows us why in the new issue of GQ magazine.

The “New Moon” stud sat down with GQ senior editor Mickey Rapkin to talk about the various aspects of his crazy celebrity life.

Having presented an award at the Oscars with costar Kristen Stewart, Taylor explained, “I would have passed out if she wasn’t there! You’re looking down and you’re talking to George Clooney, Leonardo DiCaprio—and they’re listening to you!”

And though he is synonymous with his Jacob Black character, Taylor says it didn’t come without its hard work. “I’m in the gym, and I’m doing reps, and I’m reading the books, and I’m studying the character. I’m just saying to myself, ‘I want this role. I love this role. I’m not gonna lose it. And I’m gonna know it better than anybody, and I’m gonna do that extra rep, because I’m gonna be Jacob Black.’”

Despite his million-dollar paychecks, Lautner isn’t looking to get his own place just yet. “Um, you know, not so much. There’s really no point. I’m so busy. I really haven’t thought about it.... The thing I love is that my home life hasn’t changed. I still help out with the garbage. I still help out with the lawn.”

And Taylor isn’t one for gratuitously showing off his massive muscles. “Originally I was supposed to take off my shirt. The script [of Valentine’s Day] said we were walking into school and Willy takes off his shirt. I said, ‘Whoa, whoa, whoa. Time out. He’s gonna take off his shirt in the middle of school? No, no, no. The reason I took off my shirt for New Moon is because it’s written in the book that way. And there’s reasons behind it.”
