Kristen on Taylor: “We have that relationship”

Twilight Saga stars Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner cover this month’s double issue of Entertainment Weekly revealing some secrets of the New Moon set.

As New Moon is all about Jacob rather than Edward [Team Jacob must be thrilled!] he was also the main focus of attention during the interview for the publication.

People love this guy! Some more, some less, but Kristen Stewart is definitely the one who’ll always be right there for him. Check it out:

It’s completely understandable why they wanted to make sure he was right [for the part of Jacob in New Moon]. He was so young, 16, so I got it. But I knew he had [to do] it. Just because of how I felt around him. I literally saw Jacob in him.

We have that relationship [on set]. It’s lamely cute. I love that kid. I would do anything for him. I would kill for him, literally.

And Kristen isn’t the only one who fell under Taylor’s spell.

Director Chris Weitz said:

I think that Taylor is really going to surprise people in the movie. People have seen his body and all that stuff and it’s a shocker because it’s hard to believe that anyone can be quite so carved. But he actually delivers a really great performance. He wasn’t just exercising all day, he was also reading the book quite a lot.

However making the movie wasn’t a piece of cake for Lautner. Besides training for 11 months to bulk up his body he also had a grueling task of portraying a werewolf:

Sometimes we’ll film two scenes in one day, one pretransformation and one post-. ‘So I have to change my mind-set: Okay, I’m little Jacob-poo — and now I’m a big bad wolf.

What’s important is that nobody – I mean Robert Pattinson – feels as if Taylor is stealing all the spotlight. Rob was more than happy not to be the lead this time around:

It was a stress-free job for three months. All the pressure was on Taylor.
