AceShowbiz - Actor Taylor Lautner has reignited the "Twilight" saga love triangle debate with a hilarious TikTok video. In the clip, Lautner shows a scene from "The Twilight Saga's Breaking Dawn - Part I" where Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) and Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) get married. However, as the camera flips to reveal Lautner.
In the viral TikTok video, he pretends to have accidentally disclosed that he is the one who made the pro-Jacob comment: "Honestly screw Edward. Bella should've ended up with Jacob."
Lautner's video is part of a viral social media trend where users offer seemingly anonymous opinions before revealing themselves. The video has garnered over 80 million views as of Sunday, indicating its resonating power with fans.
In the original "Twilight" series, Bella ultimately chooses Edward, becoming a vampire to prolong their love for eternity. However, Jacob imprints on their half-Vampire-half-human daughter, Renesmee, creating an unbreakable bond for life.
Lautner, Pattinson, and Stewart starred in all five "Twilight" films released between 2008 and 2012. The films, based on Stephenie Meyer's fantasy-romance book series, were hugely popular, grossing over $3 billion globally.
Despite the heated debate, Lautner has shared that he had a positive experience working on the franchise. However, he and Pattinson, who played Edward, had different personalities and faced awkward moments due to fan rivalry.
