Taylor Lautner Playfully Teases Co-Star Robert Pattinson in a Hilarious Moment
Taylor Lautner, best known for playing Jacob Black in the Twilight series alongside Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, has embraced a playful side on social media, delighting fans with his take on a popular trend. The 32-year-old actor participated in the viral ‘camera flip’ trend, where users share advice or opinions targeting their own demographic before humorously revealing themselves as the subject, told Daily Mail.
Lautner shared a video on Instagram, seemingly pretending to be a Twilight fan. The clip began with him filming his screen, showcasing Bella Swan’s (Kristen Stewart) and Edward Cullen’s (Robert Pattinson) wedding scene from the classic vampire saga. The on-screen text read, “Honestly screw Edward. Bella should have ended up with Jacob.”
The punchline came as Lautner “accidentally” flipped the camera to reveal himself as the one making the statement. Feigning surprise, he shouted, “No, no, no,” in mock embarrassment. Fans couldn’t get enough of the hilarious reel, which quickly went viral. One social media user commented, “Ok this might be the best one of this trend yet.”
Another enthusiastically wrote, “Okay. That’s it. You won the trend.” A third added, “You got caught in 8k buddy.” The lighthearted moment comes as Lautner reflects on his time filming Twilight, including the dynamics with his co-stars. In a past appearance on the Call Her Daddy podcast, Lautner opened up about his sometimes “tough” relationship with Robert Pattinson during the franchise’s heyday.
“I think it was tough. I don’t know for him, but for me at least, yeah, it definitely, especially at the age I was at, you get your feelings hurt sometimes when you shouldn’t,” Lautner admitted.
Despite the challenges during filming, Lautner’s recent Instagram post shows he’s more than willing to poke fun at his iconic role and the eternal Team Edward vs. Team Jacob debate. His playful engagement with fans proves that even years after Twilight’s release, its cultural impact—and Lautner’s sense of humor—remain as strong as ever.
The viral trend and Lautner’s ability to laugh at himself have cemented his place in fans’ hearts, with many calling his entry into the trend a standout moment.
