Taylor Lautner says Breaking Dawn is the most emotional Twilight film yet
Hollywood hunk Taylor Lautner has said that The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1 is the ‘most emotional’ film in the series. The 19-year-old, who plays werewolf Jacob Black in the Twilight saga, thinks the movie, which shows the marriage of Bella Swan and vampire Edward Cullen, has some of the most ‘epic’ emotional scenes so far. The actor said: “[Author] Stephenie Meyer has created incredible characters and a great story. This movie is very epic, and it’s much more emotional than any of the other ones, but it is also very epic.” Taylor also claimed his infamous topless scenes in new film Abduction are ‘nonsense’. He hardly gets his impressive physique out in the upcoming thriller, which he believes is for the best. He added to TV show BBC Breakfast: “It is very important that [the movie] has to make sense. The first time we read the script, it had a lot of nonsense in there. “My character isn’t a werewolf in this movie, so it’s different.”

Kellan Lutz turned down Edward Cullen audition
Kellan Lutz has revealed that he turned down the chance to audition for the part of Edward Cullen in Twilight because it was ‘too depressing’. The 26-year-old actor, who eventually accepted a role as Edward’s big brother Emmett, while Robert Pattinson took on the other part, said that he just didn’t feel that the character was right for him. “My agent wanted me to read for Edward and I read the script and thought that character was too depressing for me right now, I want to do something where I smile,” he told JustJared. “I wanted to take a break from acting and I said that, I turned it down, I turned down the audition a couple of times. Ryan, my agent at the time really knew it was going to be a special project so he told me to read the role of Emmett, and I read it, it was only about four lines, but he was the big brother, the comedic relief and I fell in love with him. I said ‘Sure, I would love to play this type of role’. “I auditioned, and long story short, here I am finishing the saga and Emmett is going to be in my heart forever.”

The 38-year-old stars in the new movie with Justin Timberlake and plays the role of Elizabeth, who hates her job as a teacher and is waiting to marry a rich man so she can quit her job. She said to UK newspaper Daily Mirror: “When I saw the first few pages of the script I was like: ‘No way.’ There was no way I was playing this person. I didn’t like her. I felt there was no redemption for her. “Then a few pages in I saw that she just says what she’s feeling, and then by the end I was pleasantly surprised that the script didn’t apologise for everything she had done. That to me was a breath of fresh air. “Elizabeth’s driven to get money so that she can get a new pair of boobs and she’s looking for a guy who is rich enough so she never has to work again. “She’s convinced that if she gets those D-cups, they’ll be her ticket out.”
