He’s willing to make fun of himself
In 2009, Taylor hosted “Saturday Night Live” and his “Lab Partners” sketch had us laughing uncontrollably. Our Jacob Black played Marianna, a high school girl on Team Edward who’s unwilling to pair with a Team Jacob fan on a school project. Taylor not only made out with a Robert Pattinson notebook, but said that Jacob’s abs were simply CGI effects. “If those abs were real,” he said, “then the dude who played Jacob deserves an Oscar!” Well played, Taylor. Well played.He’s confident
Taylor also starred in a Funny or Die video called “Field of Dreams 2: NFL Lockout.” In the comedic short, he played an Iowa farmer who, upon hearing the command from voices in his head, built a football field in the middle of his corn fields. “If you build it, they will come,” the creepy voice said. And come the NFL players did. Many stars are hesitant to play up their comedy roles and let the other actors take the spotlight, but not Taylor. He stands tall and isn’t overshadowed by his co-stars. This confidence means he’ll embrace his role in “Grown Ups 2″ and not stand back in the shadows leaving us wondering why he was cast.
