“Twilight: New Moon” is really like a coming out party for Taylor Lautner. The second installment of the hugely successful series is when Jacob Black finally reveals his feeling for Bella, reveals he’s a werewolf and makes the heart of every girl swoon. So it’s only fitting that he would grace the cover of Teen Magazine, October 2009. With “New Moon” set to hit theaters on November 20, Lautner’s star is hotly on the rise.

I still can’t believe he’s only 17-years-old., but Lautner flaunts his ripped body and bulging biceps, the result of constant work-outs to play the buff Jacob Black post wolf transformation.

On what it takes to maintain his ripped werewolf physique: “Hitting the gym, hiring a personal trainer, eating the right foods, and eating a lot of them.”

On Team Jacob fans: “I think the fans would love anybody who played Jacob. I’m just lucky to be the one who got the chance.”

On dealing with the fame brought on by “Twilight”: “There are twelve cars that camp outside my house. You can’t ever really get used to it, because it’s not normal to have people snapping pictures of everything you do. You just have to try not to let it affect you.”

On his alleged romance with Disney actress Selena Gomez: “She’s a great girl.”

Jacob Black, get ready for your close up.
