.

1. He doesn't have a Facebook or Twitter account, though he says plenty of people pose as him online.

2. He's a major Red Bull fan and drank it throughout our shoot.

3. His favorite band, U2, is performing in Vancouver this summer, where he'll be shooting Eclipse!

4. He can't live without his leather jacket, so stylist Matthew Edelstein pulled this John Varvatos jacket for the shoot.

5. He drives a black BMW 5 series but is more into football than cars.

Q: What's been the biggest difference between this shoot and the Twilight shoot?

We know what we're making this time around. I mean, for the first film, we really had no idea we were making a big film, we just knew that we were all in love with the series and wanted to make a great movie. But we didn't know that all the people were going to fall in love with the movie and it was going to be as big as it was. Now, we're coming into 'New Moon,' you know, with a little bit more pressure, but we're trying to push that behind us and not think about that, and stay focused on what we need to do.

Q: What's the difference between working with Catherine Hardwicke and working with Chris Weitz?

They're both so talented in different ways. What I love about Chris is the set is very calm and we're just having a lot of fun making the movie. And then you sit back and you look at the results that are happening and it looks amazing so far. I'm so excited to see it. And you just sit back and see what's going on, and you're like, 'How are we having such an easygoing, relaxed time making this movie, and it's turning out the way it is?' At the same time, the conversations with Catherine - she just related to us so well. So does Chris. They're both talented directors, and I'm thankful that I had the opportunity to work with both of them.

Q: Have you had a chance to meet David Slade yet? Has he come to set or met anybody?

He came up here, briefly. I was in the middle of a stunt rehearsal, and he showed up with Wyck, one of our producers, and Wyck was like, 'Hey, this is David.' And at that point he wasn't signed on to the film and I had no idea who he was. Then all of a sudden he started putting up these ‘camera hands' in my face; 'Yeah, I think this would be a good angle right here.' And I'm just sitting there going, 'What is he doing?' Then finally, as he's doing it, Wyck says, 'Oh, I probably should tell you who this is. This is David Slade. He's probably going to be doing 'Eclipse.'' I was like, 'Oh, that makes sense now!'

Q: If you could give Jacob, as a werewolf, one more power, what would it be?

Oh boy, that's a tough question. Um...I want to steal one of Edward's powers, because I like them. But then I'd feel like I'm betraying Jacob if I said that. (Laughs.)

Q: Which one of Edward's powers would you take?

Well, I don't want to sparkle. Definitely, I don't want to sparkle. We [wolves] can read minds, though, right? Each others', but not anybody's. Ok, well, I'd like to read Bella's.

Q: Are you liking having a Wolf Pack? You're not the only one anymore.

Yeah, it's fun! They're a lot of fun, they've got a lot of energy, they're fun to have around. I'm really glad that they were able to come up and have fun with us.

Q: There's a lot of talk about the fight scene between Jacob and Paul...

The sad thing is, it's not gonna be me. It's gonna be a CGI wolf. But I'm sure it's gonna look just great.

Q: How did you all develop the bonds that have to translate on screen?

We hung out, while they were up here. We went to dinner, we went to some movies. We all get along, so I definitely think you're going to see that in the film. They're fun guys, they're easy to get along with.

Q: Are you all BFFs now?

I don't know if we're BFFs! But we're friends.

Q: Have you wrapped, or how much more shooting do you have?

Let's see. We're almost done. I think we've got another two weeks left, and they've got a couple of scenes left. It's sad, but it's alright. We'll be back soon.

Q: What's been your favorite scene to film so far?

Um...I'd either say, some cool action scene I got to do, because I really do like the action, or I really like the break up scene. We call it 'the break up scene.' It's the first time Bella sees Jacob after he's transformed. When she comes to his house, and she sees for the first time that his hair's cut, he's different, what's up...?  And he tells her, 'We shouldn't be friends.' It's a really emotional scene.

Q: Considering how moody Jacob gets in 'New Moon' - toying with Bella's emotions - do you feel bad at all?

I don't feel bad one bit; I feel bad for myself! (Laughs.) No, when I was reading the books, I felt so bad for Jacob's character. But now that I'm actually living him, I feel way worse. Bella's toying with Jacob! I don't care if she's ripped between the two guys, I feel so bad for Jacob, because she confused him; one moment, she'll want to kiss him, and the next moment, she's ditching him for Edward. I mean, yeah, I understand where Bella's coming from, and it's a crappy situation for all of them. But I feel really bad for Jacob.

Q: A lot of fans are looking forward to the scene in 'Eclipse' where Jacob and Bella finally have the kiss.

Yes, so am I.

MICHAEL MARTIN: How is the Twilight phenomenon sitting with you?

TAYLOR LAUTNER: It's the weirdest thing. Nobody really saw it coming. I mean, we knew we were making a movie of a very popular book, but we didn't know how well it was going to do. When it opened, it exploded, and that was not something any of us saw coming. Filming New Moon is a lot different than the first one because this time we know what we are getting into.

MARTIN: Do all the expectations psych you out?

LAUTNER: I don't think so. It puts a little more pressure on us than it did before. But for the most part, it's been a blast.

MARTIN: So what's in store for Jacob?

LAUTNER: He's a lot different than he was before. He transforms mid-story-in the first half, he's Twilight Jacob. I'm wearing a wig. My character's very clumsy, outgoing, and friendly. When he transforms into a werewolf, he becomes something very different. It's like I'm playing a split personality. Which is tricky, because sometimes I've had to play pre- and post-transformation Jacob on the same day of filming.

MARTIN: Is the premise similar to the book's?

LAUTNER: The coolest thing about the series is that we stay very true to the books; it would be silly for us not to, because the books are exactly what the fans want to see. There's an action side to it, which I love, and there are werewolves now. There aren't just vampires. There's a wolf pack.

MARTIN: What does it mean to turn into a werewolf?

LAUTNER: I think the most important thing with Jacob is that pre-transformation, he's clumsy. He trips over his own feet. As soon as he transforms, he's very agile. At one point, he flings himself through Bella's window and lands at her feet, and that's the first time Bella realizes this is a new Jacob: He never used to be this agile. I loved bringing out that side of him. The bummer is, when he becomes a wolf, that's not actually me. When he does the cool fight scenes, he's transformed into CGI.

MARTIN: You had to bulk up for the part.

LAUTNER: Absolutely. As soon as I finished filming Twilight, I knew I had to get to work right away; there could be no waiting involved. The day I finished Twilight, I came home and started bulking up. For New Moon, I'm 30 pounds heavier than I was in Twilight.

MARTIN: Do you feel like you're walking around in a different body?

LAUTNER: I don't at all. I haven't noticed much of a change. I grew out of a lot of my clothes, though. I went from a men's small to a men's large.

MARTIN: Are you turning more heads?

LAUTNER: I don't know. I should pay more attention to that. I hope so.

MARTIN: What was your training regimen?

LAUTNER: I was in the gym five days a week, two hours a day. At one point, I was going seven days straight. I had put on a lot of weight, and then I started losing it drastically, so I was worried. It turned out I was overworking myself. My trainer told me that I couldn't break a sweat, because I was burning more calories than I was putting on. The hardest thing for me was the eating. At one point I had to shove as much food in my body as possible to pack on calories. My trainer wanted me to do six meals a day and not go two hours without eating. If I would cheat on eating one day, I could tell-I'd drop a few pounds.

MARTIN: Are Twilight fans as intense as they seem?

LAUTNER: They are very intense, but it's cool that they're so dedicated and so passionate. They're the reason we're here doing this sequel. So I'm thankful for the fans. I like meeting them. But, yeah, they're pretty intense. Sometimes it becomes a little overwhelming.

MARTIN: Do they scream and rend their garments?

LAUTNER: We've met many different fans: the criers, who come around quite often; the hyperventilators who stop breathing and have to have a medic come. We've definitely seen some passion.

MARTIN: How does it feel to be the source of that sort of worship?

LAUTNER: I don't even know. I don't know if it's really hit me yet. They're just passionate for the series and for the characters, and we're just lucky enough to be a part of this. I don't think it has much to do with me personally; it's more because I'm playing the beloved Jacob Black.

MARTIN: Were you a Twilight fan before?

LAUTNER: I was not a vampire or werewolf fan at all. I'd never even heard of the series. I auditioned for the role, and as soon as I got it, I started reading the books. I'm not a reader, but I really did get hooked on them.

MARTIN: Do you hang out with Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart?

LAUTNER: The whole cast is really close. It would be difficult for our characters if we weren't. It's a love triangle, and we need to understand each other. So the fact that we're close and can talk things through in rehearsals, and if we're out at dinner, we'll just randomly start talking about the scene we're shooting the next day . . . If we weren't able to do those things, I don't know where we'd be.

MARTIN: What's in store for that love triangle?

LAUTNER: Twilight develops the relationship between Edward and Bella. In New Moon, Edward leaves, and Bella needs someone to bring her out of this depression she's in, so she turns to her best friend, Jacob. It looks like it could go past friends. Bella's very confused. Jacob wants nothing more than to be more than friends. He wants Edward to get out of there so he can move in for the kill.

MARTIN: So to speak . . .

LAUTNER: Yeah. Bella's torn. She's still in love with Edward, but she's kind of fallen for Jacob, too. When I read the books, I felt bad for Jacob, because he can't have what he wants. I understand Jacob's pain but also Bella's pain-how she's confused and torn between the two.

MARTIN: You understood that from personal experience?

LAUTNER: From getting into the character and being surrounded by these really talented actors.

MARTIN: What would you like to do next?

LAUTNER: I love action films. I'd love to do an action drama. I'm always looking to give my character something action-oriented to do.

MARTIN: Is the third Twilight movie happening, and are you in it?

LAUTNER: Yeah. We're all staying focused on New Moon right now, but that's in the back of our minds.

MARTIN: What would you be doing if not acting?

LAUTNER: I always played sports when I was young. I played football and baseball for eight years. I loved football. So maybe I'd be doing some kind of sport. I also loved writing and directing. So maybe that could be in my future too. I'd love to get into that.

MARTIN: You want to be a screenwriter?

LAUTNER: Possibly. Right now I'm an actor. But I could see that in my future.

MARTIN: You've got some time.

LAUTNER: Yeah, I've got a few years ahead of me.

Taylor Lautner amongs alot of other celebs went to the Dodgers game yesterday.
He looked supercute, as always...

newmoonmovie has new exclusive pictures of gourgeous Taylor backstage at the CFDA :) here are two of them. I picked out the best ones ;)

If these weren't enough for you hungry twi-hards, you can check out the rest of them here ;)

Our favorite buffy-boy arrived today at NYC and later made it safly to his hotel (seems like he hasn't been bitten by the RPattz crazy-bitches bug)
Is it just me or is he looking older everyday?
Not that we're complaining!
It's about the same time as Sofia's earlier post described!

He's one of the hottest young actors in Hollywood, and yesterday (June 17) Taylor Lautner was spotted arriving at his New York City hotel.

The "Twilight" stud looked hunky as he strolled past the paparazzi in a black and white striped shirt teamed with a pair of dark wash jeans and black sneakers.

In related news, Taylor recently confessed to having a crush on Megan Fox, saying, "It changed a lot. It used to be Jessica Alba for the longest time, and I'm kind of transferring to Megan Fox."

Unfortunately for Mr. Lautner, the "Transformers" babe has her eye on his "New Moon" costar Robert Pattinson.  Megan revealed, "I mean, he's outrageously attractive- he's like a very pretty man."

Taylor Lautner har gjort en ny intervju med MetroNews (samma tidning som hade intervjuen med Ashley jag skrev om lite tidigare...)
Han pratar om filmningen av New Moon och såklart lite om hans personliga liv.
Älskar intervjuer med Taylor, han bjuder på sig själv utan att säga saker som är för personliga och kan bli uttnyttade.


Q. How is it back on set?
A. It's good. I'm really excited to be back with the whole team again and our new director, Chris Weitz. It's been a lot of fun so far and the movie's looking great, so I couldn't ask for more.

Q. And you have a huge role this time...
A. It's a little bit bigger, yeah! It's exciting because I'm excited to bring alive the new Jacob Black for the fans.

Q. You look like an '80s rock star with your long hair!
A. Sometimes I look in the mirror and I don't recognize myself. It's an actual wig. It's glued to my head in the front and it gets itchy sometimes. You can see the lace if you look close, but it doesn't come across on camera. It gives me a totally different look. I don't even look like myself. But it's fun.

Hittade en artikel om Selena Gomez (Taylor's så kallade "flickvän") där de frågar om hennes relation med Taylor.
Selena sa, "He's one of my good friends. I'm single. Definitely single."

Selena erkänner däremot om att hon som alla andra tycker att Robert Pattinson är snygg. 
När de frågade vad hon tyckte om Twilight, så svarade hon,  "It was good. It was really good. I really liked it. I can totally see the Robert Pattinson thing now. That's for sure."

Är det bara jag eller känns det lite som att Selena är lite "sur" pg.a hela historian om att Taylor brydde sig mer om karriären än henne. ni kan läsa det inlägget här. ..och därav nämnde att hon tyckte att just Taylors kollega (som han ständigt blir jämförd med btw..) var snygg?
...Eller så tycker hon bara kanske att han rent av är snygg som nästan alla andra kvinnor i världen?

Vad tycker ni om allt det här som hänt?
