You can't beat a werewolf: Robert Pattinson tried to get Taylor Lautner's abs for Twilight sex scenes... but came up short

By Alanah Eriksen


Pretty co-star: Robert Pattinson, who revealed he was jealous of Taylor Lautner's body, was promoting Breaking Dawn: Part 1 with Ashley Greene in Brussles today


Taylor Lautner famously bulked up for the second Twilight movie as he transformed from a young Jacob into a tough werewolf.

And now, his co-star and on-screen love rival Robert Pattinson has revealed he had a taste of what the 19-year-old went through for the fourth installment, Breaking Dawn: Part 1.

But as he promotes the film in Belgium with on-screen sister Ashley Greene, an interview was released in which he says he couldn't achieve the hunky actor's abs despite a grueling fitness regime.

The London-born star, reprising his role as Edward Cullen in the film, tried to transform his body when he found out he had to do shirtless sex scenes with real-life girlfriend Kristin Stewart, who plays Bella.

'You also have to worry about how you're going to look,' he told Mexican magazine 15a20

'I had never been so worried about that before, but after seeing how much Taylor works out for the movies, I thought 'Well, everybody is really going to judge me now.

'I always tried to think about positions where I could tense the muscles, and suck in my belly. I think I just gave the most vain answer I could come up with.'

He admitted he was nervous taking his shirt off.

'Especially because in the saga the body of the characters seems to be a big deal

'So in this movie I thought "Okay, it's the last [movie]. I'm getting a six pack," and I tried, but it's very hard.

'I worked out so hard for six months, so after filming the sex scene, the first thing I thought was "Time to eat!"'

Taylor, who gained 30 pounds of muscle for the movie, told the magazine he was working out less now filming had finished.

'It was always hard, because I had to stay fit for the entire filming, and look just as I did in the beginning. It was a challenge, but I did it.

'And I celebrated shooting my final shirtless scene. I ate ice-cream and cake, I took a few days off from working out, so that was a true celebration.'

'I've always been very active and I always practiced sports, but I do it more for fun now, and to hang out with friend. go to the gym, but only to stay toned and fit.'

'I’ve always been … I’ve always like weddings,' he told M6.

'I haven’t been to many weddings. My older friends are starting to get married. It’s scary in some ways but I mean you can still get a divorce.'
