Talk:Taylor Lautner/@comment-5441712-20120610203810

"The Other Darrin: Narrowly averted when Taylor Lautner almost lost his role as Jacob Black in New Moon. The director of New Moon, Chris Weiss, was considering recasting Jacob, because he decided he wanted a taller and more muscular actor to play him (the studio producers were openly negotiating with other actors before the end of filming the first movie). Upon hearing this, Lautner immediately hit the gym and apparently never left. He gained an insane 35 pounds of muscle to keep his role in the series."

He must love the series
