Taylor Lautner may be ripped and gorgeous, but a girl doesn't have to be a Perfect 10 to attract him. Why? Because a great personality is just as (or more) important to the Twilight: Eclipse hunk as sexy good looks.
“[Twilight character Bella Swan] is just this plain girl, which sometimes – I know for me – is attractive,” Lautner, 18, tells UK's Now magazine.
He adds, “Bella's just an average girl, she’s clumsy, but I think she’s good-looking. She just has this thing about her, and Kristen Stewart plays her so well.”
TAYLOR NAMED BEST SUMMER BODY
That's a refreshing statement from Taylor, who's adored by millions of fans for his rippling six-pack and athletic good looks, especially since he works in an industry obsessed with physical perfection.
Indeed, Lautner was just named to Men's Health magazine's 'Best Summer Body' list, which was topped by Twilight co-star Kellan Lutz.
Taylor also nabbed seven individual nominations for the 2010 Teen Choice Awards, including Choice Summer Movie Star, along with Robert Pattinson. (The Teen Choice Awards, which will be hosted by Katy Perry, will air live on Fox Aug. 9.) 
Taylor, who rides a motorcycle, is shirtless and has super-slick fight scenes in the upcoming thriller Abduction, recently caused a commotion on the film's Pittsburgh, Pa., set, when over 100 female fans showed up to catch a glimpse of the Twilight sensation. When Lautner approached the crowd to sign autographs, lovesick fans were unable to control their emotions, shrieking and jumping up and down.
LAUTNER WILL BE SHIRTLESS & HAVE FIGHT SCENES IN 'ABDUCTION'
Meanwhile, Lautner has been keeping up his intense muscle-building workouts to maintain the buff physique he needs to play hulking werewolf Jacob Black in the Twilight saga. While Taylor eats every two hours and works out five days a week, he says resting is just as important to his fitness program.
Training and eating are only two-thirds of the muscle-building equation. "The other third is recovery," he says. Lautner takes every third day off and never works out more than 5 days a week. "If you constantly pound your muscles, they'll never have time to repair."
Later this year, Taylor will begin shooting Breaking Dawn, the fourth installment in the Twilight saga. Breaking Dawn will be broken up into two separate films, with Part 1 due out in November 2011.

It's true most guys like plain girls who have confidence in themselves. There is no need to look like some supermodel to attract a good-looking guy. I hope girls listen to Taylor and learn to be themselves and try not to change.
I hope Taylor stays as down to earth and sweet as he seems to be in interviews. He's so hot!!!
ahhem, men's health best summer body?? where's Joe Manganiello??? hello?? a real best summer, winter, spring and fall body!! Taylors abs deflated between New Moon and Eclipse, wake up MH!!
A girl wouldn't have to be hot to attract him since he's gay. NO girl's gonna attract him. Sure, go ahead and argue with me now, but in a few years you'll see and you can then kiss my shiny metal a to the ss.
We were just talking about him over on yes.com Josh_Turner's chat room
We talk about everything mostly Josh Turner & his fan club members anyhoo Taylor doesn't mean it when he says a girl doesn't have to be hot-he was just trying to b nice and say the right thing
Taylor may be serious when he says this. His ex-gf Sara Hicks was not a hottie at all. She was a regular attractive girl, not a bombshell. Taylor seems like a nice guy. Hpoeully the money and fame wont make him a jerk.
He's simply adorable, and so incredibly humble. I really, really like him!!!
i'm sure taylor does like down to earth girls but i hope he doesnt let his ego get in the way of love, he seems like a cool person he seems like my kind of guy the kind who knows how to have fun but the real question is does age matter to him
he is soo sweet
But I can see why people do, after seeing pics of him and Kellan. yum, yum!
