Taylor Lautner began his adventure with the camera at the age of only 9, with a role in the television production “Shadow Fury”. Later, he regularly appeared in TV series and dubbed cartoon characters. He played his first leading role in the film “Shark and Lava: A 3D Adventure”, and then appeared in the sequel to “The Cheaper Dozen”. The real breakthrough in his career came only when she entrusted him with the role of Jacob in Stephenie Meyer’s film adaptation.
He played the werewolf from “Twilight”. He became a teen idol and Pattinson’s rival
The first production from the best-selling saga hit cinema screens in 2008, bringing Lautner international popularity and crowds of loyal fans. Due to the fact that his character fought with Edward (Robert Pattinson) for Bella’s favor (), two camps were formed between the fans – one of them worshiped the werewolf, the other the vampire. In Alex Cooper’s podcast, the actor recalled those times, confessing that he was not happy with this fact and took all the comments very much to heart. – I don’t know about him, but I often had hurt feelings, probably due to my young age, because then everything becomes exaggerated – . – I think that sometimes it was just awkward for us to stand together, for example on the balcony, and have 10,000 girls screaming his name and then cheering for me. It was really difficult, he emphasized.
Lautner recalls his relationship with Pattinson. The first film in the series was to be his last
Perhaps it was this fan-created rivalry that influenced Lautner’s relationship with Pattinson. The actor admitted that despite many hours spent together on the set, he was unable to establish a close bond with his friend because, as he emphasized, “they are very different from each other.” It turned out to be important that the werewolf in the film had to put a lot of effort into being able to appear in subsequent parts of the saga, and that was what he focused all his attention on.
In the first film adaptation, Jacob was a teenager, so his small stature was appropriate. In the next part, however, the creators wanted to clearly emphasize his transformation from a young boy into an adult man. For this reason, there was a plan to replace Lautner with another, more suitable actor. However, he set himself the goal of meeting this challenge. He started going to the gym regularly, where he performed strenuous workouts in order to gain satisfactory muscle mass, and also gained 10 kilograms. The producers appreciated his dedication and spectacular metamorphosis and he was able to continue his adventure with the saga, which he still remembers with great fondness.
