Taylor Lautner’s Weight Gain for New Moon (pictures)

I’m sure you’ve heard the news by now that Taylor Lautner, who played Jacob in Twilight will be back to play Jacob in New Moon despite the fact he is physically not a match for the character’s size in the book. Jacob in New Moon grows to age 25 and 6 feet 5 inches.  Taylor is 16 and much shorter. Apparently he says he has bulked up 19 pounds already and plans to put on 10 more before shooting begins.  As far as his height,  the rumor is they will use special effects.  Below are pictures of Taylor from before he put on the weight and the latest picture is him at an event where he told a reporter he had put on the 19 pounds.  What do you think?  Does he look bigger?  Do you think he can pull it off?  By the way, I do think he is an adorable actor.  Also below is the statement from Stephenie Meyer’s website.

Good news about New Moon from director Chris Weitz:

I’m very happy to announce that Taylor Lautner will be playing Jacob Black in New Moon and that he’s doing so with the enthusiastic support of Summit Entertainment, the producers, and Stephenie Meyer.

The characters in Stephenie’s books go through extraordinary changes of circumstance and also appearance; so it is not surprising that there has been speculation about whether the same actor would portray a character who changes in so many surprising ways throughout the series. But it was my first instinct that Taylor was, is, and should be Jacob, and that the books would be best served by the actor who is emotionally right for the part. I think that fans of Twilight the book and the movie will be surprised by the Jacob Black that Taylor will bring to the screen in New Moon; and I’m looking forward to working with him and the rest of the cast in realizing the film.

very best

Chris Weitz

I’d just like to add that I was very much a part of this decision. My first priority was always what was best for New Moon—what was going to give us the best possible movie. I’m truly thrilled that Taylor was the one who proved to the director, to Summit, and to me that he is the best possible Jacob we could have. And I’m very much looking forward to seeing what he’s going to bring to Jacob’s character this year.
