taylor lautner exclusive interview

Taylor Lautner shows off a ripped six-pack a lot in "New Moon" and upcoming flick "Eclipse." But the Twilight hunk is no more willing to reveal his muscular abs.

Earlier this week the wolfboy told MTV News that he still feels awkward having stripped for those scenes as Jacob in the "Twilight Saga."

Lautner has said he won't be baring those famous washboard abs for any role until the part requires him to get his kit off.

The leading "wolf" in The Twilight Saga appears on the cover of GQ magazine's July issue, where he keeps his shirt on.

Abs for certain roles
In an accompanying interview, Lautner told the magazine that he was supposed to take his shirt off in Valentines Day but the scene was scrapped for not being authentic.

"Originally I was supposed to take off my shirt [in Valentine's Day]. The script said we were walking into school and [my character] Willy takes off his shirt. I said, 'Whoa, whoa, whoa. Time out," he tells the magazine, on newsstands June 22.

"He's gonna take off his shirt in the middle of school?" recalls Lautner. "No, no, no. The reason I took off my shirt for New Moon is because it's written in the book that way. And there's reason behind it."

The 18-year-old actor acknowledged that his transformation into the hunky werewolf took plenty of hard work, according to People.com.

Dedication helped him preserve his role
The 18-year-old actor acknowledged that his transformation into the hunky werewolf took plenty of hard work, according to People.com.

"I'm in the gym, and I'm doing reps, and I'm reading the books, and I'm studying the character," he says of his preparation for the role, which included hiring a personal trainer and eating every two hours, reports People.

"I'm just saying to myself, 'I want this role. I love this role. I'm not gonna lose it. And I'm gonna know it better than anybody and I'm gonna do that extra rep, because I'm gonna be Jacob Black,'" says Lautner.

Whirlwind success hasn't gotten to his head
Lautner, who is currently one of the highest-paid teenage actors in Hollywood, tells GQ that, despite the worldwide fame, he keeps a relatively normal life outside of acting.

The single star, who still lives at home in Valencia, Calif. with his family, says: "The thing I love is that my home life hasn't changed," adding that "there's really no point" to moving out of his parents' home and getting his own place right now. "I still help out with the garbage. I still help out with the lawn."
