He Dusk mania. After Stephenie Meyers’ vampire series became a worldwide bestseller, it only got bigger with all the Dusk movie. And over the years, as fans have followed Kristen Stewart’s Bella Swan on her journey through the undead, they’ve split into a few camps, with the most popular being Team Edward and Team Jacob. As audiences debated whether life as a vampire or a werewolf was better for Bella, what did Taylor Lautner think?
Lautner is now a decade away from playing in the Dusk saga. The actor recently married at Taylor Dome, who is now also legally Taylor Lautner. When the actor behind Jacob Black was recently asked if the Edward/Jacob team aspect of the franchise had ever affected him, here’s what he had to say in The toast:
I feel like I’d be lying if I said no. And I was so young. I was 16 when ‘Twilight’ came out, 17 for ‘New Moon’ and ‘Eclipse’. I left the franchise when I was 19. I was very young and yes, it felt very strange to travel the world and be in different cities and have thousands of fans shouting that they were on your side or on your side. it costs. Like, we’re a team. We both try to make the best movies.
Dusk it put Bella in a high-stakes love triangle that took forbidden love to a new level, considering vampires and werewolves are basically rivals in Stephenie Meyers’ established world. And since the quiet intensity of Robert Pattinson as Edward Cullen and sweet but fiery Jacob Black as Taylor Lautner was Next Different from each other, the demographic of teenage girls who heavily consumed the hit franchise picked lineups, made T-shirts, and hung posters of their chosen actor. (Although, there were many who were part of Team Alice , too, as well). Lautner continues:
Yes, it was a bit strange, the competitiveness. There was no competition between me and Rob, but having that constant reminder, I think it definitely made an impact.
Lautner shared these thoughts on the Dusk fandom during an interview with The toast with his wife, Taylor Lautner. Check out his response in the podcast below:
As previously revealed, his wife was originally Team Edward before meeting Taylor Lautner by meeting her younger sister for the first time. Lautner points out during the interview that she was very young when he was part of the Dusk phenomenon, and many things affected him emotionally. In the past, even Lautner open about being “super anxious” for years even leaving his home due to the super fame he gained almost overnight as the sexiest werewolf in the franchise.
Lautner also realized the intensity of his diet to get in shape and stay in shape. he said must have gained 35 pounds of muscle , so eat at least 5,000 calories a day to maintain those coveted abs for all those shirtless scenes.
While it seems like playing Jacob Black wasn’t a walk in the woods for the actor, he did share that I would not say no to playing the Dusk card again . even if others Dusk The film is not part of upcoming book adaptations to come, so the actor certainly won’t be returning to the Edward/Jacob team talk with the intensity of his adolescence anytime soon.
