Taylor Lautner: I Won’t Miss Taking My Shirt Off for 'Twilight'

The Abduction star dishes to iVillage about why he’s happy to stay dressed and his infamous smooch with Robert Pattinson

 

 

Twilight fans may love watching Taylor Lautner flaunt his enviable abs on the big screen -- but it turns out the actor himself isn't quite as fond of those chest-baring scenes.

The 19-year-old actor, who plays werewolf Jacob Black, tells iVillage that he has mixed feelings about the end of The Twilight Saga.

"I will miss the people," says Lautner, who can be seen in Breaking Dawn: Part 1 (in theaters Nov. 18). "We have become best friends...What will I not miss? Maybe taking my shirt off every day on set."

But just because filming has wrapped on the Twilight films, doesn't mean Lautner's shirtless days are over. The actor bares his bod for the filming of his new action flick Abduction (in theaters Sept. 23). And when he wasn't flexing his muscles and shooting machine guns, he was cozying up to his onscreen love interest (and rumored real-life girlfriend!Lily Collins.

"For the romantic scenes we kinda just go for it," Lautner explains. "If you start over-thinking those, it's probably going to go wrong."

Watch our exclusive video interview to find out how Lautner relates to his Twilight character and why he had "no preparation" for his kiss with Robert Pattinson at the MTV Movie Awards.
