Taylor Lautner recently said that Jacob Black, a favourite Twilight character, is “a bit annoying.”
Lautner said that he recently saw some of the Twilight movies for the first time in years and recognised why some people aren’t great fans of Jacob. He was commenting on the Team Edward vs. Team Jacob argument.
In an interview with the Dear Media podcast The Toast, hosted by Jackie and Claudia Oshry, Lautner and his wife, Taylor Lautner (née Dome), who shares his name, talked about their marriage and his fan-favorite role in the vampire franchise.
When questioned, Lautner was asked how he felt about his wife rooting for Robert Pattinson’s Edward Cullen in the popular film series.
“This is a scoop right now,” Lautner began. “I’ve never said this and I feel like I’m gonna get a little bit of hate. I’ll always have Jacob’s back.”

Lautner shared that a year ago, he tuned into a Twilight marathon on TV while he was staying in a hotel room. “I was scrolling through and New Moon was on and I was like, ‘Why not?'” he recalled.
“As I was watching it, I was like, I kinda get it. Jacob’s a little annoying. I love Jacob and his heart, but he’s a little annoying.”
“My heart is beating out of my chest right now,” Lautner said to the host.
