Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart's younger co-star Taylor Lautner graces the cover of the latest Rolling Stone Magazine! The 17 year-old actor who plays the role of Jacob Black in the 'Twilight Saga' series looks fabulous showing off his post 'New Moon' body. Kristen Stewart, who plays the role of Bella Swan in the vampire series recently revealed that she 'defended' Taylor Lautner from the 'axing'.

Before the 'New Moon' shoot, Taylor Lautner was required to increase his body size to fit his role. Robert Pattinson, who plays the role of Edward Cullen told the reporters during the 'New Moon' presscons that Taylor Lautner is the star of 'New Moon', and not him. And after increasing a total of 30 pounds, Taylor Lautner is the certified breakout star (like what Robert Pattinson said). Lautner believes that 'Twilight' is the reason of his sudden fame. "This could have happened to anyone who played Jacob," Lautner tells Rolling Stone. "It's Twilight. It’s not me personally." Taylor Lautner added.

Taylor Lautner, now popularly known worldwide is currently dating the country singer Taylor Swift. Of course, Taylor Lautner shared some insights regarding the rumored relationship with Miss Swift. Taylor Lautner explained: "Aside from being beautiful, she’s extremely funny, charismatic and fun to be around." Photo: Rolling Stone
