New Moon star Taylor Lautner is the youngest cover model
in Men's Health magazine history.
Twilight star Taylor Lautner worked out so much to gain muscle for New Moon that he wound up losing weight.
"I was exercising so hard that I began to lose weight," Lautner, 17, tells the December issue of Men's Health.
Taylor, who is Men's Health's youngest cover model, gained 30 pounds to play the hulking werewolf Jacob Black in the blockbuster vampire flick Twilight.
“My character continues to grow, so I’d like to pack on at least a few more lean pounds," says Lautner, who worked out and ate nonstop to dramatically transform his body.
Meanwhile, New Moon director Chris Weitz can't wait for fans to see Lautner in the upcoming sequel. "I think that Taylor is really going to surprise people in the movie," he says.
Adds Weitz: "People have seen [Taylor's] body, and it's a shocker because it's hard to believe that anyone can be quite so carved. But he actually delivers a really great performance. He wasn't just exercising all day. He was also reading the book quite a lot."
The athletic Lautner, who's a former junior martial arts champ, had to eat some 3,200 calories a day at one point to bulk up. [Read more about Taylor's workout and diet secrets here]
"The actual getting into the gym and working out process was easier, but the eating was harder," Taylor recounts. "I had to eat every two hours. At one point, my trainer said, 'Put anything in your mouth. Go to McDonald’s, get the biggest shake possible. I just need to get calories in you.' Because my body fat at the time was only, like, 7.5%."
Lautner's beautiful co-star Kristen Stewart, says all the hard work paid off. "He has literally become a different person," she said. "He's just grown up."
New Moon, which co-stars Robert Pattinson, Kellan Lutz and Ashley Greene, comes out Nov. 20.
