Did you ever feel like you were in danger of not reprising your role in this movie? And did you use steroids to gain those 30 pounds?
Taylor Lautner: Definitely no on your second question. Honestly, I knew where my character went in New Moon and that’s all I tried to stay focused on. I couldn’t control things outside. I couldn’t control the media, but I could control what I was doing to portray Jacob Black correctly, so that’s what I stayed focused on the whole entire time.
Could you be a little more specific? What did you do? What did you eat? Can you give us a bit of a run down?
TL: Oh boy, you’re putting pressure on me now. I was in the gym about five days a week because it’s important to get your recovery time and not overworking yourself because if you’re overworking yourself — I was trying to put on weight and if I was in the gym too much, I would be burning the calories I’m trying to take in. The most important thing was the eating side. Everybody thinks it was the actual getting in the gym — that was easy. I was motivated. Getting in gym was easy for me, but the eating was pretty hard. It was just eating a lot. We found out that I had to consume at least 3200 calories a day, just to maintain. I’m not trying to maintain, I’m trying to gain. I had to eat more than that. Putting something in your mouth every two hours and I’m busy. I’m in downtown LA going from meeting to meeting, so there’s no time for me to be eating. I would literally have to carry a little baggy full of beef patties, raw almonds, sweet potatoes. So it’s not like every two hours I’m eating ice cream. It was difficult.
