Taylor Lautner: Topless scenes are nonsense

26th September 2011

(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Taylor Lautner claims his infamous topless scenes are "nonsense".

The 19-year-old actor is best known for playing werewolf Jacob Black in the Twilight saga, where his character is famed for his well-defined pectoral muscles.

The hunky movie star does not display his impressive physique so much in upcoming thriller Abduction, and says the decision is for the best.

"It's very important that [the movie] has to make sense. The script had a lot of nonsense in it at first. Nonsense meaning topless scenes," he jokingly confirmed to BBC Breakfast.

"My character isn't a werewolf in this movie, so it was kind of different."

In Abduction Taylor plays a young man on a quest to find out who he truly is after he finds a photo of himself as a young boy on a missing person's website.

The Hollywood hunk performs the majority of his own stunts in the action thriller, which he was thrilled about doing.

"It was very exciting. There were a lot cool things I never thought I'd have the opportunity to do. I had a great time making this movie. I started martial arts when I was six-years-old so it was great to be able to finally use it in a movie," he explained.

"There's a great fight sequence with Jason Isaacs. We were full on smacking each other," he smiled. "We took advantage of the gloves we were wearing."

Taylor also acknowledged his internationally acclaimed role in the hugely successful vampire franchise Twilight.

The star and his castmates Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are still amazed at how well the saga has been received.

"I filmed the first one when I was 16. None of us expected it," he said. It came as a surprise to all of us. I still have to pinch myself."

Taylor is looking forward to the release of the upcoming instalment. He says The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1, which is released in November, is a great mix of romance and drama.

"This movie is very epic. It's very emotional. It's much more dramatic and emotional [than the others in the series.] It's also very epic!" he repeated. (C) Cover Media
