Taylor Lautner: No more shirtless scenes

No secret, Twilight teen heartthrob Taylor Lautner, 17, has gained 30 pounds for his role as Jacob Black in the second movie of the Twilight franchise, Twilight Saga: New Moon. Taylor has often gushed he was proud of his new muscular body though found it “uncomfortable knowing that so many people are seeing pictures of me shirtless”.

As to us, all Twilight fans, we definitely love his body!

However, now Lautner says he doesn’t want his body to overshadow his acting skills:

I worked hard to get in shape for this role,” the young actor said. “My motivation was the movie and the fans, but I don’t want to become known as just a body. If I had to choose, I would never take my shirt off again in a movie, but I guess that’s not very realistic. I certainly won’t be asking to do it, though.”

Your thoughts?

If Taylor could choose, we’d always see him as fully dressed as in this pic.

   I don’t think it’s hurting his acting skills! Sure, he’s got a hot body. So? I think he looks so adorable and he’s a great actor. Besides, the Twilight Saga wouldn’t be the same without the shirtless werewolves. C’mon, Taylor! We all love you for who you are! You made New Moon a great movie!
