Taylor 'Grows' for Jacob Black - New Moon Highlights

While the casting of Taylor Lautner for the role of Jacob Black in the movie Twilight remained disputed, film makers considered dropping Taylor for 'New Moon'. The main reason being that, like the audience, they were unsure of his appearance and transformation for the sequel. Those of you who have read the books already know that Jacob is a gangly 17 year old who looks older for his age and Taylor didn't seem like he would be growing a lot any time soon. And while the film makers found someone to replace him, Taylor had some surprises for them up his sleeves. Turns out that Taylor Lautner, in apprehension of the sequel, had started working out as soon as the shooting for Twilight ended. News is that he has gained almost 26 pounds. On the bright side, at least he can act better than Robert Pattinson (Edward). Who knows... he just might even look better in the next movie. *Fingers crossed*
