'Twilight' star Taylor Lautner says that he now realizes Jacob is 'a little annoying' in the movies
- Taylor Lautner spoke about his role as Jacob Black in the "Twilight" franchise.
- Lautner said he'll "always" support his character, but recently found him to be a bit "annoying."
Taylor Lautner said that he recently watched some of the "Twilight" films for the first time in years and could see why some people aren't big fans of his character, Jacob Black.
Lautner and his wife, also named Taylor Lautner (née Dome), discussed their relationship and his whirlwind years playing Jacob in the vampire franchise in an interview for the Dear Media podcast "The Toast," hosted by Jackie and Claudia Oshry.
On the latest episode, Lautner, who portrayed Jacob in all five "Twilight" films released between 2008 and 2012, was asked about how he felt about his wife being a supporter of Edward Cullen (played by Robert Pattinson) in the Team Edward vs. Team Jacob debate.
"This is a scoop right now," Lautner began. "I've never said this and I feel like I'm gonna get a little bit of hate. I'll always have Jacob's back."
The actor explained that he hadn't watched the "Twilight" movies in almost 10 years. Then approximately a year ago, Lautner was in a hotel room alone and was "so bored," that he tuned into a "Twilight" marathon on TV.
"I was scrolling through and 'New Moon' was on and I was like, 'Why not?'" he recalled.
Lautner said that he ended up watching "New Moon," "Eclipse," and the first half of "Breaking Dawn: Part 1" back-to-back, by himself.
"As I was watching it, I was like, I kinda get it. Jacob's a little annoying. I love Jacob and his heart, but he's a little annoying."
After the hosts applauded Lautner for admitting something so significant, he said, "Thank you, I appreciate that. My heart is beating out of my chest right now."
