(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Taylor Lautner thoroughly enjoyed being "shirtless" in Breaking Dawn.

Taylor plays Jacob the werewolf in the Twilight series. His character Jacob is known for his well-defined protruding pectoral muscles. To the disappointment of many fans, Taylor admits that Jacob will not be displaying his chest quite so often in newest Twilight instalment Breaking Dawn.

"There were definitely some shirtless scenes cut from the script," Taylor told USA Today.

Taylor sculpted his body carefully in preparation for his shirtless scenes. His dietary habits were completely transformed for a while.

"I was forcing myself to eat thick, heavy food every two hours," Taylor explained. "That was really tough for me. Three protein shakes a day. Ugh, I hate that thought."

Taylor couldn't wait to be free from such a regimented diet. When filming Breaking Dawn came to a close, Taylor immediately gorged on delicious, calorific food.

"As soon as my final scene was shot, I was like, 'I'm done,'" Taylor said. "I went out to dinner at my favorite restaurant and had dessert for the first time in a long while, a brownie sundae. It was amazing."

Breaking Dawn will be released in November. (C) Cover Media
