Taylor Lautner was often praised for his jacked physique while playing werewolf Jacob in the “Twilight” movies, but he’s now revealing the experience subsequently left him suffering from issues surrounding body image.
In an episode of “The Squeeze” — the new podcast he co-hosts with wife Taylor Dome — Lautner explains how “being viewed as having this unbelievable body” affected him after the fact.
“When I was in it, when I was 16 through 20 years old, starring in this franchise where my character is known for taking his shirt off every other second, no, I did not know that it was affecting me or going to affect me in the future with body image,” Lautner explained, as reported by People.

Nary a clichéd stone is left unturned in Doham Metha’s debut feature about a twentysomething man desperate to protect his much younger brother from their junkie mother. Starring Taylor Lautner in a more dramatic role than usual, Run the Tide feels familiar in its recycling of indie drama tropes.
In just about every way possible, Lautner here downplays his ridiculously handsome and chiseled looks. As Rey, who lives in a Texas trailer park with his 10-year-old brother Oliver (Nico Christou) and works in a gas station/convenience store owned by his stepfather Bo (Kenny Johnson), he’s scruffier than usual, sports a...

Review by Zach Nix
Taylor Lautner, much like previous teen idol Zac Efron, is a young male actor who became a star after appearing in a string of films marketed towards teens, specifically the Twilight franchise. However, and much like Efron, Lautner’s impenetrable stardom eventually ended with his franchise’s conclusion. Therefore, he then began that awkward transitional period as he tried to escape from the teen idol status that he had been labeled with in order to prove his legitimacy as an actor outside of the Twilight saga. His short lived stints with action (i.e. Abduction, Tracers) and comedy (i.e. Grown Ups 2, The Ridiculous 6) certainly didn’t help. However, Lautner’s latest turn in director Soham Mehta’s debut film, Run the Tide, finally showcases him as a dramatic talent to be reckoned with.

In the years since the Twilight franchise made them megastars, Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson have worked with a remarkable number of world-class directors: Olivier Assayas, Kelly Reichardt, Woody Allen, Ang Lee, David Cronenberg, Werner Herzog, James Gray. The werewolf leg of that love triangle, however, does not appear to be in similarly prestigious demand. Taylor Lautner has headlined a couple of forgettable thrillers (major points if you could recall even the titles Abduction and Tracers), and been part of the ensemble in a couple of Adam Sandler comedies, but nothing on his post-Twilight résumé is even halfway decent, much less impressive. The exceedingly earnest indie drama Run The Tide seems to be Lautner’s stab at respectability, but he’s chosen poorly—this is bargain-basement schmaltz, too blandly folksy even for Sundance. Sheer toothiness can’t elevate drab material.

Giving his fans a little thrill, Taylor Lautner ditched his t-shirt and hopped into the ocean to film scenes for his new movie “Run the Tide” in Los Angeles on Tuesday (June 17).
The “Twilight Saga: New Moon” hunk donned a pair of blue board shorts and proved to his critics that his physique hasn’t gone soft since wrapping up his Jacob Black gig.
In “Run the Tide,” Taylor plays a man who kidnaps his younger brother and takes off to California following the prison release of their drug-addicted mother.
Directed by Soham Mehta and written by Rajiv Shah, the project also stars Austin Michael Coleman and Derek Krantz.

The pairing of new filmmakers Soham Mehta and Rajiv Shah is presenting Twilight’s Taylor Lautner with the chance to finally flex his acting muscles, in a forthcoming dramatic road movie. With the actor confirmed as being in negotiations for what is effectively the lead role, Run The Tide has taken a big step toward the big screen.
The film follows a man (possibly Lautner) who kidnaps his younger brother and heads for the California coastline, in an attempt to escape the clutches of their drug-addicted mother as she is released from jail. Making a desperate break for the life they always wanted, the siblings find themselves closely pursued by their mother and her ex-husband.
