Bulking up for a meatier role in the next “Twilight” movie was hard work, Taylor Lautner says. He gained 30 pounds of muscle while on a strict diet and exercise routine.
But it has been even harder putting that buff bod out on display for fans to drool over, the “Twilight Saga: New Moon” star told Us Weekly magazine.
“It’s actually quite uncomfortable knowing so many people are seeing that,” he said. “It’s a little bit embarrassing!”
Last week a new shirtless picture of Lautner from the “Twilight” set caused a stir. The photo was released to promote the “official illustrated movie companion” to “New Moon,” a book due out Oct. 6. Lautner — with shirt — also graced the cover of the October issue of Teen Vogue.
