MTV: TAYLOR LAUTNER'S 'NEW MOON' PERMORMANCE IMPRESSES VAMPIRE CO-STARS

MTV is back with more from Jackson Rathbone on the set of his movie Girlfriend. This time we’re hearing a little more from Jackson as he describes how impressive Taylor Lautner is as he takes on the role of Jacob Black. Read more below:

“Nikki Reed keeps telling everybody, and I think it’s true, yeah, [Lautner’s] got his shirt off, and he looks good with his shirt off, but you look at those eyes. You really do,” he told MTV News when we caught up with him on the set of his indie film, “Girlfriend.”

Rathbone admitted to watching a fan’s video reaction to the first trailer, in which we see a shirtless Lautner transform into a wolf for the first time. “You can’t hear the rest of the [trailer] because it’s just screams and screams. I think they were happy screams,” Rathbone joked

But looks aren’t all the 17-year-old actor has going for him. Rathbone said Lautner’s performance in the film was enough to sway half the cast and crew over to Team Jacob. Rathbone, who plays vampire Jasper Hale, didn’t want to disclose his allegiance, though he hinted, “I’m all for my brother.”

“Taylor Lautner really stands out in this film, and I think people are going to be really blown away by his performance,” Rathbone said. “You have these great moments that Jacob just completely is winning over Bella. And it’s just beautiful to see it. It’s all in their eyes.”
