Taylor Lautner: Coping With the Pressure
August 17th, 2009 | Author: Georgina "Geo" Tena
BuddyTV talks about Taylor Lautner and the pressure he has faced playing such a big role in New Moon and how he’s dealing with the pressure.
Edward doesn’t want to give Bella any trouble, and decides to just disappear. Jacob decides to fill the gap until he leaves her torn between two lovers. Not to mention he becomes a werewolf and, before that, bulkier since he’s grown up. I can only imagine how it weighs down on Taylor, especially when you consider what Robert told the magazine: “It was a stress-free job for three months. All the pressure was on Taylor.”
And pressure it is, indeed. He almost didn’t get the role, remember? It was a mix of fan clamor and the need for continuity (that was eventually broken when Rachelle Lefevre lost Victoria for Eclipse) that powered his return, I think. And then came the hard work: he did work out a lot and, according to Taylor himself, the 11-month training got too much at one point. “My body fat got so low that we actually needed to increase it a little bit,” he said. “My trainer would be like, ‘Go have a huge milkshake just so I can get a thousand calories into your body.’”
Thankfully he’s dealing well with the pressure, and everyone’s noticing it. “I think that Taylor is really going to surprise people in the movie,” Weitz told the magazine. “People have seen his body and all that stuff and it’s a shocker because it’s hard to believe that anyone can be quite so carved. But he actually delivers a really great performance. He wasn’t just exercising all day, he was also reading the book quite a lot.”

wooo! 2nd comment!!lol … . naww, i dont think he’s the knid of person who would do that . . .
I’M SO PROUD OF HIM! He’s done an amazing job and he deserves credit! I don’t think it will. There are a few celebrities who don’t let it go to their heads and I think he’s one of them.
I love taylor. I can’t wait to see his performace in new moon and his cockiness in eclipse. I think he will be great.
TWILIGHTERS PLEASE LISTEN TO THIS!!! no offense but u haven’t been posting much lately.. im just giving u a heads up so u should know
Thats sad…..I hope he doesnt start to go crazy!
he’s handling pretty well for a 17 year old, i gotta give him some credit for keeping a cool head around all the crazies.
i felt sorry for rob when his fame shot through the roof and dont think hes handling it brilliantly. but i think taylor is dfferent, especially from what ive seen like when they were filming the cinema scene or something like that he came out for a little bit 2 sign things and take pictures with the fans even though he didnt have 2. i cant wait to c him in the film, the trailer already looks great
