Taylor Lautner Earns My Respect

Before vs. after…YOU WON’T LIKE HIM WHEN HE’S ANGRY.

Evey damn gossip and/or movie blog I go on ever single day seems to have some new shirtless picture of Taylor Lautner on the set of New Moon, looking like he was just unwrapped from plastic action figure packaging. So I decided to search just what the hell he looked like before he bulked up and WHOA. He’s most definitely earned a retroactive spot on our “significant body transformations for movies” post.

Why do I respect him now? Well, it’s one thing for an established actor to gain and lose weight to earn a massive paycheck, but this kid was no one before Twilight, and he realized that he was going to bust his ass to keep his role was which threatened to be given away to someone already jacked and slightly Native-American looking (Chronicles of Narnia’s Ben Barnes).

So what did he do? He went to town, and started inhaling calories like air and lifted at the gym for hours sometimes seven days a week. As you can see, the results paid off. As someone similarly skinny, knowing how hard it is to gain weight, I understand that putting on thirty pounds of muscle for a scrawny person is like losing 100 for an obese person.

If this comes off as slightly gay, **** you, I just think it’s nice to see someone in young Hollywood with an actual work ethic. Contrast that with his co-stars Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart who phone in their parts so hard you can almost hear a busy signal.

    i started my sophomore year of college even scrawnier than this guy. i drank all the time but never seemed to gain weight. then i joined the club boxing team, started lifting and training every day, and kept my heavy beer-drinking habits. needless to say, i bulked up big time. then after that year of college i didn’t box anymore so i discontinued the training but didn’t recall my alcoholism, and all that bulk and muscle turned into disgusting. now im paying for it haha. i started working out about 3-5 times a week and have been watching my diet, but i know its going to take forever to get back to where i was 5 years ago. this dude has my respect too cause i know first hand that it’s not easy to get into physical condition like that.

    Wow. I’m impressed. Even with a personal trainer, getting that big and cut takes tons of discipline.

    From what I hear kid has to eat non-stop to keep on the lbs.

    The right picture on the “Before vs. After” pic has the hotter body, but I mean he has a sic pack and that workout curves above the boxers in the left picture as well

    Not gay at all Paul. I have a respect for anyone that can keep a body like that in shape for any period of time.

    While i’m not short, i have a ridiculously high metabolism and i have to work to keep myself at 100kgs. thats without making the effort to keep it cut.

    “He’s kinda beautiful”
