Why Hollywood STILL Won't Cast Taylor Lautner

Once upon a time, Taylor Lautner's face was everywhere you looked, thanks to his leading role in the iconic supernatural movie series Twilight. But what appeared to be a red hot career quickly cooled off, leading us to wonder why Hollywood seemed to suddenly stop casting him. And while you might be familiar with our previous video from 2017 talking about Taylor Lautner's disappearance from the spotlight, we have some new juicy deets as to what the Jacob Black actor has been up to lately. Although Lautner's Twilight co-stars Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson have gone on to somewhat successfully distance themselves from their vampire-and-werewolf days, Lautner hasn't been as lucky. Case in point: The internet went into a frenzy when Stewart showed up to his 27th birthday party in February 2019, with her attendance spurring a ton of headlines. W Magazine, for one, made it clear what everyone was thinking about by noting, "Kristen Stewart Had a Twilight Reunion With Taylor Lautner at His Birthday Party." Clearly, Lautner is still very much attached to the franchise whether he likes it or not. He can't even turn another year older without it stirring up press about his time as Jacob Black, whom he last played way back in 2012. And to be perfectly honest, we can understand why studio execs might be hesitant to give Lautner a shot considering that he hasn't done much to shed the character. It would be one thing if he managed to snag other notable roles like Stewart and Pattinson have, but for now his most popular work to date still very much remains Twilight.
