In a recent interview with Box Office, Twilight star Taylor Lautner (aka Jacob Black) talks about why he loves his character, his family's reaction to his fame, and his love for the movie, The Notebook."What do you like about playing Jacob?
I love Jacob and Bella’s relationship. It’s very different from Edward and Bella’s. Jacob and Bella start off as really good friends. They become best friends—they can tell each other anything, they do whatever together, ride motorcycles. I love that. And then their relationship starts growing into more and more, and you wonder if they’re going to go past friends. I love being able to do that. And work with an amazing actress, Kristen Stewart, and all of the help around us, our director Chris Weitz, the whole crew. It’s a lot of fun.
What is it like for your family and friends to see people scream at pictures of you topless?
[Laughs] It’s weird. It’s embarrassing for me, and I’m sure it’s awkward for all of them.
Have you gotten teased about it at family dinners?
Not yet, and I’m hoping that doesn’t happen because I’ll start blushing.
What is a movie you love that you’re embarrassed to admit?
The Notebook. I don’t think I should be embarrassed to admit it though—it’s a great movie. I’m not embarrassed. I’m saying it proudly."
