As the werewolf Jacob, Taylor Lautner has a unique place in the “Twilight” series — having bulked up for the role physically, he also has to step up to the some of the more romantic-yet-odd moments of the series. We spoke with the actor in L.A. about hitting the floor, filming in rough weather and how, yes, it’ll be nice to take a break.
There is one very dramatic moment where Jacob just drops to his knees, and I found myself thinking, “Do they have a little pad for him?”
Lautner: I wish. Oh yeah, I wanted to feel it.
And did you?
Lautner: I did.
How many takes did you have to do?
Lautner: To be honest, not many, because that scene was so dramatic and emotional we just had to go for it. It wasn’t a take after take thing. There was plenty of conversation and talk about it beforehand, so I knew exactly what ‘imprinting’ is what it looks like, all that stuff. Then it was just like, “Okay, let’s do this.”
