Garnering more attention from the media ever since he bulked up in order to reprise his role as Jacob Black in "Twilight" sequel "The Twilight Saga's New Moon", Taylor Lautner has vowed to never appear shirtless in future film projects. He is quoted by Showbiz Spy as saying that he is afraid his muscular body will draw people's attention away from his acting skill, which is much more important than his physical appearance.
"I worked hard to get in shape for this role," Lautner explains. "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."
Previously, Taylor Lautner told reporters at Teen Vogue's 7th Annual Young Hollywood party in L.A. that he actually feels uncomfortable with his muscular body. "It's so uncomfortable knowing that so many people are seeing pictures of me shirtless," so he said. "It's weird. It's kind of embarrassing."
"The Twilight Saga's New Moon" is slated for November 20 U.S. release. Meanwhile, it is reported that the filming of "The Twilight Saga's Eclipse" has been completed. The next installment in the "Twilight Saga" film series will be released in U.S. theaters June 30 next year.

Taylor lautner is sex bomb!
taylor ur sooooo sexy i love u u should do more shirtless scenes ur body is sexy i love u good luck with ur sexy bod + caree
taylor, you also bragged about how you put on 26 pounds of mucsle. but you know what, you still run around bragging your going to put on another 14. dude, im not sure if this is tru, but people under ur name are sayying that u used steroids. and i think they may possibly be right. just tone it down with the body stuff. And I WILL SAY THAT I AM VERY GLAD HE DOSENT WANT TO FILM ANY MORE SHIRTLESS SCENES AND IM SORRY FOR WAT U WERE GOING THRU. I APPOLOGIZE FOR THE OTHER STUFF I SAID FOR U TRULY CANT BE THAT BAD OF A GUY. GOOD LUCK WITH UR CAREER,ANONOMUS
ya i saw a video of him flexing on celebrity tv, and now he dosent want to be recognized for his body? make up ur mind! ur the one impressing camra crews by flexing your arms. ur not the only one with mucles. my brother has more mucle than taylor and he dosent run around without a shirt in movies or ask for attention. he uses his popularity on overkill. tis tis taylor
in every movie he is in he has to strip his shirt off and now he is just trying to get attention. honestly taylor, grow up! u and ur abs. dude girls, many guys including myself have abs at age 13. why go after him. its not like u can marry someone wayyyyyyyyyyy older than ur self
well he needs to be left alone and u ppl who say u love him 4 who he is u dont no him t\like tht dont get ur hopes up if u doesnt call lol
taylor is an amazing kid.hes taking college classes when hes 17 almost 18 hes seems like a sweetheart and has great acting skills.who cares if hes got a muscle build that lokks nice?hes still only 17!!!!!so please leave the poor kid alone with ur hate comments. ~vivvien
I doubt That if he wouldn't have got all buff girls would ignore him anyways. Its not his body that makes him...well him i guess. He IS a really Actor and i totally agree with the not-taking-off-his-shirt thing.He got had the talent way before the body.
I agree somewhat with chris. if he tried to draw more attention away from his hot body...then stop talking about it. but i do also agree that it could make you feel uncomfortable. put yourself in his shoes. try being his age and taking off your shirt for the whole world to see.......i get him.
I bet he won't even read this but I am jc the girl how said that I liked you since shark boy and in the movie new moon when you had your shrit off you looked hot but I said to myself I thought that he wasn't the kinda of person to do a thing like that but I am just 13 so I don't understand and I am glad that you made a choice like that cause if I was in your place and if I was a guy I would feel werid if girl would just look at me for the body that I have well if you ever read this please add me as a friend on facebook my name on it is Kim.e. Rawcliffe
It's ok it's your choice I liked ever since shark boy
Hey u shouldn't call that poor girl on the phone number everyone was posting and I don't believe it was Taylor under the name Taylor lautner. I think Taylor should do a drama movie to show his acting not his body
You prolly shouldn't give out your personal number, there are many weirdos out there. :) alright Huns, p.s. He prolly doesn't come here. I think he barely has time to be on the Internet.

i feel bad for taylor cause every 1 mostly likes him for his body when some others like him for his spirt, heart, and mind so thats y i think hes cute.
im a big fan of yours!
taylor dont worry because their is nothing wrong about having a great body! and if you dont wnt took take your shirt off you dont have too.but i just wanted to let you know that im a big of yours!
noooooooooooooooooooo i think its the acting is the part that people would mostly look at because edward is hotter
fuk all of use. Taylor you are one charming kid ( i mean man)really and every one loves the acting they woulnt off watcht the movie the roll was just suitable it was to the right person act with a smile, ppl wouldnt talk if they didnt care
Your right. u dont have to take your shirt off if u dont want to!! Well, if u could choose. lol!
He has it tough and i totally respect him for being modest. He is still so young and has such high demands. I don't blame him for being embarrassed. He SHOULD be embarrassed. imagine if that were you. i mean holy crap can u imagine all the pressure he has to have the perfect body. i say to Taylor i appreciate your hard work and modesty... keeping working hard and your a fantastic actor.
taylor like every is saying people neeed to give you some space! you should not be upset cause pf ur body ur anything else!!! iloveyou=]]]
Taylor, I love you so much. Not just for your amazing body, but for what you bring to the screen. When I was watching New Moon, I could honestly say I felt your pain and that I was like right there with you. Some of these comments are pretty shallow, I would continue watching your movies no matter how you looked. It's your enthuisiasm on screen is what attracts most viewers, not your body. Keep on making movies for everyone's sake, and enjoy it. LOVEYOU <333333 :)
To Chris: the reason why he talks about his abs so much is because that's what everyone else wants to see and discuss. This poor guy probably gets asked to show his torso WAY too much. Personally, I don't blame the man for feeling that way concerning his body. And he IS a man, for sticking up for modesty, decency, and chivalry. Miley Cyrus gets slammed because of a bare back, but Taylor Lautner is drooled over (almost literally) because of a chisled torso? Society's headed downhill in a hurry. To the Twitards here adoring TayLaut and completely disregarding his personal convictions: YOU LASCIVIOUS CURS!!! Here is a man who's trying to avoid making a movie into a softcore porno, and you're encouraging him to DO JUST THAT!! Honestly, girls, grow up. It's fine to admire, but once you get adulterous about it, you're only hurting yourself, and HIS feelings. - DS
i think hot isnt the right word...he is ''hot'' but i we should say hes handsom.
hiya im ur biggest fan me and bev are movin to la maybe we will meet u sometimes there is no offence against rob but im on team jacob all the way baby luv ya u da fitest boi eva byee
Launter is such a hottie. Really, his body is totally awesome. Hes pretty hot too. Still, hes right, its not just about his looks.
Omg..... Ur so hawt!! Ur Also a really good actor and singer (sharkboy) if i say so myself... U were so cute then! Omg Im so looking foward to more Films (^w^) Love Ya!
hey i love taylor but me and cora are on team edward

taylor , you are still really young ( and hot ) so good for you that you are so modest . i think you are really gorgeous and will never stop thinking that , you are a great actor :)
Always thought you were sexy :) first started my HUGE crush In cheaper by the dozen 2, not stopped lovin ya since :) x get rid of the body and see what fans you still have left :) I know ill defo still be here x
Yo Taylor you are a great actor and shouldn't be embarressed about your bod.
I don't know if he is smart or not. I would look for that then his smokin hot abs. I have seen a lot of magazines about him, but who knows if he is smart. He is so freakin sexy though. He is really young though. My bff doesn't care about his abs any more. I think I should agree with her , but he is still sexy!
I think it's great that he's not boasting about it. He's modest,so good for you Taylor
I adore Twilight and Shark boy and Lava Girl was stranglet great it's in 3D and you were still hot in it. (I'm a perv I'm the same age as he was in it or does that me to young? Anywhoo) You can act no matter what anyone says and being gorgeous is a boost every actor needs, you have the whole package really. Hot body or not you're still amazing in my books. xx
I know that alot of girls went absolutely wild when the comic con showed the first glimpse of Jacob shirtless, I also know there were alot of swoons when they brought forth the "meet jacob" clip. And from seeing that, of course you should follow the age old saying of: "If you got it flaunt it" youth only comes around once. live it up as much as you can, milk it for all its worth and regret it all later in life when your balls have dropped and your face is just as unregonziable as it was before twilight came out. --
You guys are really helpful well most of you and for that heres my cell phone number 9164104014
Ughhh... this is so hard... i feel so bad because hes just 17 and hes having to do all of this. I think people should respect his wishes...he seems so sweet and genuine. But at the same time he is so hot... i love looking at him with out a shirt on
Taylor if you see this (doubtful) think about this. It is a phase that will pass, but if you have the looks people will flock to see you. Build on the attention you are getting and then show them how well you can act. Your body is a gift, but your acting is the bonus. Good luck in your new movie.
No.............. This is the reason I watch your movies. Please don't........
hey Taylor i really apericiate that u've familer with wht puublic demand.... Taylor its all for the time being has no effects in long run.. try to do the work which keep u in people mind as long as u want to b..... Allah bless
Taylor, I'm glad you care what people think about your acting more than your body, but I hope you can get to the point where you feel comforatble and proud when you are shirtless in a movie, because you should be.
I have looked at Taylor with his shirt off and i am deleting every picture of him off my phone and any picture with out his shirt on. But FYI don't do any shirtless photo shoots because that is what causes people to look at your body. I personaly do not care that you have a muscular body I think you are a great actor and you do a great job in thanking your fans and that is what matters. Don't let anything else get to you just be yourself and keep up the awsome work. Be proud of your body and only god can judge you NOBODY ELSE.
I feel a little embarrassed that I find such a young actor so HOT, but I wouldn't want to see shark boy playing the part of Jacob Black! I can't wait to see New Moon!!!
Of course people would talk about his abs and muscular body. In fact, he should be proud of it and happy that he gets to stay in the movie. The reason he work out is for the movie THAT people wanted to watch. I mean people who pay to watch it deserve a little something. And the double standard thing is not right. There's no double standard. I mean a female being shirtless and I male being shirtless is completely different. Basically, Miley is almost showing her private parts and as for Taylor, well. He doesn't have breast like us females. We know its kinda embarrassing but that's some consequences you have to take when your gonna hit the big screen!
Well it's basically almost child porn since he is underage. There is a double standard for girls because Miley got so much flack for her Vanity fair cover yet it's OK for teen boys to take off their shirts?
oh no! you has good body don't think other people said because they jealous,u r young handsome don't give up.
actors can set stipulations on what subjects are "off limits" in an interview. if this dude is REALLY upset about all the talk, then he has nobody but himself to blame. if allows interviewers to ask him these questions and then answers them. DUH! he's in love with his body and will show it off countless times in the future. money will make anyone strip.
Eh, what a whining baby. He should be proud of those muscles.
think about it ppl maybe he's always talking about his abs cuz thats all ppl care about. in almost every interview hes done the intreviwer has aked him about his body. yeah hes hot but hes an actor & he cares about wot ppl think about his acting
Look guys i know it seems like hes just being a dush about his abs but 'screename: pa' is right because he basically only gets asked about his abs cuz thats what ppl care about. but seriously the boy is hot, no matter what any1 else says
"has vowed to never appear shirtless in future film projects.".... that is until they roll up the money wagon to his back door, then watch the shirt fly off.
body's hot but im not paying attention when i'm watchin you do a PERFECT job acting as Jacob black so don't wrry
taylor u r cute but kinda scary tone it down a bit and shut up about your body juzus
Good God, does Taylor ever talk about anything else but his abs? Is there nothing else going on upstairs? Enquiring minds want to know. Maybe that's why people only talk about your abs Taylor because that's all you ever talk about.
Poor kid. He is so young and has to face all of that. And to Chris-you are sooo jealous.
