This week we are bringing you an interview with Taylor Lautner for Fansite Friday!  You can listen at Mevio or iTunes, or read the transcript below…


A Note From Kassie…

So Taylor walked over and we started by introducing ourselves then jumped right into questions. We asked everything from questions about his wig to bonding with the wolf-pack to what he wanted the fans to see from his role as Jacob! You could totally see the excitement that he has for this film. We stood in a close huddle which was definitely fun. At one moment you can hear some crew members moving something on wheels, but since we were so close you can still hear what Taylor had to say! He was definitely one of my favorite interviews from being on set!


Transcript:

Question: How’s the new wig (paraphrase missed start of question)

“Thank you I think it does looks pretty natural it’s not as itchy, its not in my way- we’ve got a good team.-Yea everybody’s really awesome on the set

Did you actually get a tattoo??

“I did not. no no no no no”

Is it henna? What did they use?? Is it stick on?

Yea- just like normal tattoos like you get from the 25 cent machine-  it’s obviously a little bit more than 25 cents-yea just stick the towel over top and water- works pretty nice…

With Twilight…Kristen was underage and it presented a big factor in filming-since you are under 18 has that affected filming in any way?

“No I can work the same hours as anybody else- I can work adult hours I tested out of high school and I am in college right now so I can work all night- all day all night”-laughs…

It makes it easier?

Yes-definitely- [we] get alot of work done

How is Chris’ process compared to Catherine’s?

I don’t know about compared-I mean Catherine was alot of fun-had alot of energy I got along with her great!  Chris is- very calm- and I see what’s going on it’s looking amazing and some times you just sit back and go- how are things going soo well and soo smoothly while he’s just soo calm? I mean he’s such a great guy- he’s really amazing and soo talented its ridiculous…

How easy was it for you to bond with the rest of the Quileute wolves?

Pretty easy- yea- it’s soo cool to have them up here there a lot of cool guys and we hung out off set so our chemistry can click on set yea its alot of fun to have them here they are really great guys

Have you had any crazy fan experience since New Moon started filming?

You know- the normal- nothing ….

Are there any – not- crazy fan experiences?
Are the Canadian fans less aggressive than the US fans?

What I’ve found is all Twilight fans are the same-anywhere you go- I’ve been all over the world in Austraila-Japan and everybody asks me- which ones are better which ones are more passionate-and I can’t answer they are all the same- very passionate dedicated fans everywhere you go-so we’ve definitely met some fun fans up here though….

I’ve got to tell you I was a huge fan of “my own worst enemy” I loved what you were doing on there… what did you take from that experience to bring into this?

You know it was just really awesome to work with Christian Slater on that- he’s such a great guy so professional- definitely learned alot from him on that. Kind of funny thing is that show- I study him- he has a split personality- two totally different guys

I know I was thinking of that-

Who’s Jacob in this movie? So yea I can definitely learn alot from Christian Slater.

Do you find it hard to switch between the two personalities- since you do have before the wolfpack and after the wolfpack is it hard to switch when you are doing different scenes?

…Sometimes you will film a pre transformation Jacob and a post transformation Jacob on the same exact day- so you do have to click over- but it’s really cool because it’s challenging and I like challenging myself as an actor so I just hope I can bring both sides of Jacob alive for all the fans

What’s been the most challenging- so far?

It’s the same I would tell ya for the first film- the weather! It’s actually starting to warm up now and its alot nicer than it was at first- but when we got up here towards the end of March it’s snowing and I was like when is this gonna stop! And obviously I’m not wearing that much clothing for most of the film so that doesn’t help either- but the weather is definitely starting to warm up now so that’s nice

What has been your favorite scene to shoot now- or in the future- what are you looking forward to shooting?

It’s soo hard- I like alot of the stunt stuff so its really cool to do that- the dirt bike scenes- the dirt bike scenes are alot of fun!  And just alot of stuff in the forest-  Jacob gets to show his physicality a little bit more-

Do you get to use your martial arts more?

I wouldn’t say martial arts- I think the biggest thing is pre transformation Jacob is very clumsy- he trips over his own feet- and when he transforms into a werewolf he’s very agile all of a sudden so it’s just kind of have to show his two separate sides.

What do you want your fans to see from Jacob in this movie?

I want them at the beginning of this film to see this really happy nice sweet guy that they fall in love with- and then all of a sudden POOF!- he’s a completely different guy and not even believe its the same dude

    Ok I just thought of the best thing. They should have a contest for some girl to take him to prom. That would be amazing. Especially if you had to buy something to enter because I guarantee girls all over would totally go crazy and they’d make a lot of $$$ off the deal. But seriously, girls all over would go insane. Maybe including me… *cough cough*.
