Some people are excited to see Benicio del Toro, while others are talking about the newest “Narnia” character. Personally, I’m more curious to see what Catherine Hardwicke and her “Twilight” team do with Taylor Lautner, an actor who could someday join Lon Chaney and Jason Bateman as the greatest werewolves of all time.
Our interview with Lautner just went live, so be sure to read up on his breakdown of Jacob Black, his new driving skills, and an eagerness to get half-naked. As any Twilighter would expect, the 16-year-old star is eager to film the proposed sequels that would greatly expand his role by putting him into some hairy situations.
“The coolest thing about being a werewolf in the second film, if that were to happen, is to be shirtless; that would be pretty fun,” he laughed, thinking about his Portland surroundings. “It would definitely be chilly.”
“[Jacob's angry werewolf side] is not like me in real life; I’m like Jacob’s Native American side,” he explained. “I’m very friendly, outgoing, energetic and easy to talk to. But playing the werewolf side, where he’s holding all this anger and stuff inside him, that’d be very different for me. I love to challenge myself as an actor.”
Although some Twilighters have voiced concerns that Lautner isn’t big enough to portray Jacob in the other books, the actor promises he’ll be hitting the gym as soon as “New Moon” gets the green light.
“In the first one, he’s just regular and lanky and not crazy,” a determined Lautner explained. “But I’m sure after this one, I will be working out, eating my protein, and staying away from the ice cream and the sugar.”
As for the look of the transformed werewolves, he said: “I’ve been curious about that; I’m sure I’ll hear about it before I leave, but I haven’t heard anything yet…I’m curious to see what that’s going to look like.”
Alright, Twilighters, now that you’ve heard Taylor talk about his character, this week’s Twilight Tuesday is an obvious one: Are you Team Edward, Team Jacob, or Team Switzerland?

FOREVER AND EVER!!!
But Taylor is cute though :-)
I love the Jacob character. I think he is necessary and a great part of the books, and after the interview, I have definitely warmed to Taylor Lautner as Jacob!
But like Bella, my heart belongs to Edward.
refuse to be affected by territorial disputes between mythical creatures... ;)
Loved the video curious as to why hes so keen to get half naked though :P not that i mind hehe
gotta love Twilight Tuesdays
I'm team Bella, because she loves them both.
Bella ♥ Edward!!
And stop giving us this Jacob garbage on Twilight Tuesdays. No one cares. We want Edward and Bella!!!
But I do love Jacob and his contribution to the story. I actually really liked New Moon. Jacob is a wonderful character. Taylor is growing on me as Jacob. It will be interesting to see if he can really bulk up enough if the other movies end up being made. I wish him the best of luck!
still, I'm so totally and completely TEAM EDWARD... but Taylor's so cute and I think he's perfect for the Jacob role! he might even make me like Jacob for a change
BUUUUUUT....since they're not, I'm totally Team Edward. She wont get her face ripped off with him.
Because Jake is lovely and strong...and SOOOO hot! xP
Taylor isn't a good choice for jacob...He IS Jacob!!!!The first time I see him,I was thinking:"Oh no.That isn't Jake."But then I saw some other Pics and now I'm thinking that he is perfect.Better then Perfect.
I Love his smile and his laugh...
Go Taylor Go!
sry for my BAD english xP
I declare team Switzerland!
[tho, Edward & Bella better stay together....Jacob's gonna imprint on someone] [not bella]
I love you,Larry!And Taylor is amazing.
but... after much deliberation... i gotta admit my feelings for Edward is stronger!
so...
TEAM EDWARD all the way... there's this question in livejournal- lion_lamb community! (do you think Edward loves Bella more than she loves him?) my answer... he does in my opinion... that's enough to make me want edward for bella more!!
