All guys shouldn't feel too bad, I mean come on we all have this problem - people constantly asking you to take your shirt off. What a pain in the ass. Yet like us all, Taylor Launter has the same problem, or so the actor explains in the July issue of GQ magazine in which he covers.
"Originally I was supposed to take off my shirt. The script [for Valentine's Day] said we were walking into school and Willy takes off his shirt," Lautner tells the July issue of GQ . "I said, 'Whoa, whoa, whoa. Time out. He's going to take off his shirt in the middle of school? No, no, no.'"
"The reason I took off my shirt for New Moon is because it's written in the book that way," Lautner says. "And there's reasons behind it."
How did he do it?
"I'm in the gym and I'm doing reps, and I'm reading the books, and I'm studying the character," Lautner says. "I'm just saying to myself, 'I want this role. I love this role. I'm not gonna lose it. And I'm gonna know it better than anybody, and I'm gonna do that extra rep, because I'm gonna be Jacob Black.'"
Most of the ladies seem to agree.
