“Twilight” actor Taylor Lautner looks amazing in GQ Magazine’s November 2009 issue featuring the newly buff teen in an array of perfectly tailored dress shirts.

Trading in his usual jeans and tee-shirt attire, Lautner looks devilishly handsome in the sleek, form fitting shirts. The sexy 17-year-old does flash his pecs in one photo, but remains covered up for the rest.

GQ Magazine calls Taylor “one of the luckiest actors in Hollywood”. They go on to say: “Two years ago he was an unknown with credits in flicks like Cheaper by the Dozen 2. But then he landed a small part in Twilight, a movie based on a book he’d never heard of. He had four scenes, a few lines in each, and looked like a scrawny kid in a big movie. Then something happened that Lautner didn’t see coming. He nearly lost his job. The studio didn’t believe he had the stones (or the bulk) to play a convincing boy-turned-werewolf-turned-romantic-lead in the sequel. So Lautner hit the gym, hard, eating every two hours, packing on thirty pounds. Yikes!

We all know how it ends. Lautner kept his job and “New Moons” marketing campaign has built around his new abs. “When a man transforms into a wolf,” Lautner clarifies, “all of his clothes get shredded. When he comes back to human form, he’s wearing ripped jeans, and that’s about it. It’s the way it was written. The great thing about this series is we stay true to the books.” Sigh…
