Taylor Lautner: I Was Bullied as a Kid

Tuesday – November 24, 2009 – 2:55pm

With his buffer-than-ever bod, no one would ever think of picking on New Moon star Taylor Lautner.

But when he was younger, it was a different story.

See what Taylor Lautner and New Moon stars looked like before they were famous

"I was never extremely confident," the actor, now 17, tells the new issue of Rolling Stone. "Because I was an actor, when I was in school there was a little bullying going on. Not physical bullying but people making fun of what I do ... I just had to tell myself I can't let this get to me. This is what love to do. And I'm going to continue to do it."

He says he is still amazed at how fast his career has taken off.

"Nobody knew what Twilight was going to be," he says. "Nobody. We thought we were making it just for passionate fans of the book. People just kept telling Us, 'Oh, yeah, the movie is going to do so good.' And we were like, 'All right, whatever. We'll see.' But when the movie came out, I was just blown away. That's when I realized, 'Boy, what am I getting myself into?'"

In New Moon, Lautner gets nearly as much screen time as Robert Pattinson, who plays vampire Edward.

But he is staying modest about his career.

"This could have happened to anybody who played Jacob," says Lautner, who famously packed on 26 lbs. of muscle for New Moon. "I was just lucky enough to be the one that has the opportunity. I'm so grateful. It's Twilight. It's not me personally."

Find out which stars are on Team Edward or Team Jacob

When the topic turns to new girlfriend Taylor Swift, Lautner plays it coy.

Asked if they're together, he teases, "Possibly."

See which New Moon stars are heating up off screen!

While shooting the the 2010 ensemble romantic comedy Valentine's Day, he says, "We got along great. We instantly clicked. And she's -- she's an amazing girl. Aside from being beautiful, she's extremely funny, charismatic and fun to be around, so we definitely got along. We're close."

    I find it funny how he can take pictures like these, yet Miley Cyrus gets slammed for them. Such a double standard.

    they're adorable and super cute with their public shout-outs to each other. i think he's gay though, so i hope that if he is she knows it... in which case, good for them that they clicked and can have so much fun together.

    He's so gay, females need to get a clue! The producers know 15 year old girls wouldn't be into it as much if he was out so the Taylor Swift thing is a fasacde. Trust me the dude rather be banging Zac Efron!
