Twilight hunk Taylor Lautner has talked about the gruelling fitness regime he used to get into shape for sequel New Moon - and the new attention from female fans he’s received because of it.
The star, who plays Jacob Black in the vampire saga, had to bulk up for his increased presence in the vampire saga’s next movie, which hits cinemas in November.
Taylor said: "I was in the gym five days a week, two hours a day. At one point, I was going seven days straight. I grew out of a lot of my clothes. I went from a men’s small to a men’s large!"
His impressive new physique have seen him gather a lot more female attention, and thought he’s found it at times disconcerting he has some kind words to say for his fans.
"They are very intense, but it’s cool that they’re so dedicated and so passionate,” Taylor explained. “I like meeting them. But, yeah, they’re pretty intense. Sometimes it becomes a little overwhelming."
So which side are you on, Team Rob or Team Taylor? Though there can be plenty of room for both, of course... Meanwhile, the shapely Mr Lautner isn’t too sure if he’s quite grasped the extent of his fame.
"I don’t know if it’s really hit me yet," Taylor admitted. "I don’t think it has much to do with me personally; it’s more because I’m playing the beloved Jacob Black."
