is opening up about how his breakout role as Jacob Black in the"Twilight" franchise affected how he viewed his body.podcast, the 30-year-old got candid about the pressure he felt to maintain his famous physique following his departure from the franchise.
"When I was in it, when I was 16 through 20 years old, starring in this franchise where my character is known for taking his shirt off every other second," Lautner said of his time in the"Twilight" films."I did not know that it was affecting me or going to affect me in the future with body image, but now looking back at it, of course it did, and of course it is going to.
The physical transformation to portray Jacob eventually took a toll on Lautner's body and his relationship with exercise, saying he was"forced to be in a gym multiple times a day, six days a week" to keep it up. He recalled,"In the first movie, I was 140 pounds, and in 'New Moon' I was 175. So yeah, that wasn't my natural body. I had to work very hard for it and very, very hard just to maintain it."
"What happens when you don't want to see a gym? You start losing the eight pack. I started having more normal of a body," the"Scream Queens" star continued."I remember one of the first times seeing it online was very tough. I was filming a movie called 'Run the Tide,' and my character in that is not supposed to be a body builder or ripped guy in any way. I thought I looked fine.
