Taylor Launter Opens Up About Playing Jacob Black In Twilight And Body Image Issues

Girls, remember the time when The Twilight Saga was released, and we were all fawning and drooling over Taylor Lautner AKA Jacob Black’s hot bod? He was shirtless throughout most of the films because he had to turn into a werewolf so many times. Well, as much as you and I loved seeing him without a shirt on the screen, it gave Taylor body image issues. In a recent interview has talked about how his shirtless scenes in the fantasy film franchise affected him. In the same interview, has also made a rare comment about his former partner Taylor Swift when Kanye West jumped on the stage to interrupt her during her speech.

He said that he was standing behind after presenting the award to Taylor Swift and thought Kanye’s interruption was a panned skit because he had no other reason to jump on the stage like that. He added that when he was Swift’s expression was when he realised that Kanye’s stunt was impromptu.

A little recap for those who don’t remember what happened. Taylor Swift won the Best Video award at the VMAs in 2009. Just as she was saying her acceptance speech, Kanye West interrupted her on stage and said that even though Taylor’s video was great, Beyonce has one of the ‘best videos of all time’!

Kanye West’s stunt was not appreciated at all by anybody because he blatantly disrespected Taylor Swift on the stage in front of everyone.
