So Hollywood is really trying to make Taylor Lautner happen outside of the Twilight Saga, right? Not only is he the new Matt Damon, but he’s also (according to Mark Wahlberg) the new Wahlberg and Leonardo DiCaprio too! This is not to mention that Lautner is also a mini-Tom Cruise as well as quite possibly the only person in the universe who can intimidate Lea Michele and make her cry.
What is this elusive power that Lautner holds over Tinseltown? Part of the explanation might lie with the fact that Lautner claims to do all of his own stunts in his upcoming thriller, Abduction. Certainly, that’s nothing that Sparkles could manage, but no one would even dare to cast Sparkles in an action thriller anyway. At any rate, it really seems like Hollywood is bending over backwards to kiss Lautner tail, but it’s far too soon to tell if the guy has any staying power until at least Sept. 23 when Abduction arrives in theaters. We shall see.
While Kaiser has already covered Lautner’s goofy hair at the Teen Choice Awards, I wanted to briefly discuss Lautner’s red-carpet declaration of his secret celebrity crush:
She may be married, have one daughter in a stroller and another baby on the way, but that’s not stopping Taylor Lautner from crushing on Jessica Alba. The teen heartthrob hit the Teen Choice Awards red carpet and revealed that he’s not quite over his childhood crush.
“I really haven’t lost it, it’s still there,” Lautner said of the Alba of his eye. “She’s still hot. She’s unfortunately still married and unfortunately still has a kid but it’s alright. She’s still hot.”
Although Lautner may fantasize about Alba, who is 11 years the 19-year-old’s senior, his own impressive dating history is nothing to sneeze at — Lautner has been linked to Taylor Swift, Selena Gomez and Lily Collins.
Even though his past relationships suggest that Lautner has more game with women his own age, Alba’s hubby, Cash Warren better keep an eye out for the newly-anointed action star.
[From HuffPo]
Lautner’s a sweet kid, really, and I appreciate that he’s not full of himself and hasn’t (at least yet) been an on-set diva. Even though he’s not exactly new to Hollywood with the Twilight movies, Lautner’s under a lot of pressure to be the “heartthrob.” Obviously, Alba’s completely taken and probably wouldn’t be interested in a younger man anyway. So is it possible that he’s declared this crush on Alba primarily because it’s “safe”? As in he’s now under no pressure to make a hookup happen in reality. Just a thought.
Speaking of Alba, here she is in all of her heavily pregnant glory at the Los Angeles premiere of Spy Kids: All The Time In The World In 4D. Seriously, don’t ask me what the Kool-Aid Man is doing there.

he’s reaching two demographics at once. he makes the teen girls sigh in relief he likes someone who is taken. And all the horny twi-moms can drool over the fact he’s allegedly pining for a pregnant wife.

Reading this title I thought you meant “safe” as in not a dude.

This kid cannot act. I hope that this film proves it once and for all. And the Twilight craze is dwindling fast. Even the TwiMoms have dropped like flies. I’m hoping for a remake 5 years from now with people who can act.

All I see is the word MOIST and his fineness and then it all goes blurry

He’s a really good looking kid, but my gaydar registers “likes the cock.”

I thought it was going to be Tom Cruise.

I wince a little when he talks about his ‘crush’ on some girl when a lot of people have figured out his probable preference. If only Tommy-C and John T and others would come out and make it easier for the young ones out there.

I so do not get why he is being declared the next big thing, do not get it at all and yeah my gaydar is totally going off.

He’s actually been acting since he was young. My son watches his Sharkboy and Lavagirl Movie. I remember when he was young he was some kung fu champion so it’ll be neat to see him doing his own stunts.

Eh, not my kind of attractive. But yeah, like others have said he seems extremely manufatured to me, the kid has absolutely no thoughts of his own.

He’s got some good looks and architecture going. Like this kid!

Lainey use to call him “Tom Cruise Jr.” and now she calls him “Tom Travolta”. Read between the lines.Since they are pushing him to be the next Leo, he cannot BE HIMSELF. And this is why he would name a married pregnant woman to be his “crush” so next time he meets her he does not have to make any moves.

When I first read the bit about Kool-Aid Man, I thought, “Bedhead, that is not a nice thing to say about Jessica Alba – she’s preggers, for chrissakes!”
Until I scrolled down, that is.

@Dominique I thought the same thing!
I recently saw some pictures of him that might support our reaction and @Beadhead’s post about Hollywood trying to make Lautner a star…

Was this a “friends” lunch or a work lunch? Both? Either way, I actually think he is a nice kid and wish that if he is gay, he could just live his life in HW as he is.

He seems very young. Not like the celebs who are like 13 going on 45.

He is kind of full of himself – he came to my work a few times last year when he was in town filming a movie and he was the hardest celebrity we have ever had to accommodate – and we have had much bigger names than him there, even on the same night as him.

I like him.
I think he’s definitely talented for doing action-films, he knows how to move his body because of his martial-arts background.
They shouldn’t push him too hard, he’s still so young.

I can see him doing all of his own stunts. He is like tae kwon do world champion (or something fighty like that). He’s probably not gay but my opinion of him is lowered because Jessica Alba is a whack job. A beautiful whack job but whack job nonetheless.

Hahaha, when you asked what the kool aid man was doing there, I thought you were talking about Jessica.

He’s not much of an actor. Sadly talent is not a requirement in HW. oh well.

Must be me, because I don’t find him at all attractive! To me it looks like invisible hands squeezed his face together between his lips and his eyebrows–smush! However, if I were Jessica Alba, I would be totally thrilled at this moment–when you are pregnant with your second child is the perfect time to hear that some 19-year -old thinks your ‘hot’!!!!

He is a cutie. I would love it if a hot (as in popular) young star would come out. Taylor, it could be you!

Not seeing the cuteness, hotness etc… Now, if I were a female “Alpaca” now were talkin! Yup, the kid looks like an “Alpaca” Lol!

(He seems to be a lovely kid, incredibly gifted at stunts/martial arts, hard-working… possibly exploited by a harsh Dadager…
Whatever the case, I don’t see him lasting. The Cruise references are right on and telling. Cruise and his type are over. Plus, Taylor makes Twihards scream because he plays an illogically, eternally loving hole-stopper of a guy. To the rest of the world… he looks kinda rodenty. Especially with those upsetting patches of hair above his lips.

There’s not much difference between Mark Wahlberg and Matt Damon.

Does he see anything? Is there anything he can do to pull his forehead out of his eyes?

He has a rather long neck and the shoes could use a shine.

Love love love him. Saw his interview when he was like 11 or 12 years old, cutest thing ever

I think he would be MASSIVELY more attractive with just a different nose. His nose is so puggish and distracting.
Can u imagine an actress with that nose!? Ha! Hollywood would laugh at her instead of trying to make her the next big thing, like theyre doing with this guy.

At least Rpattz can act outside Twilight. Taylor Lautner cannot. I saw the trailer for Abduction and *shudders* it was horrible.
