If you've been to the gym lately, I'm sure you've noticed it's been a bit overcrowded with everyone trying to lose weight in 2009. Believe it or not, according to Us Weekly, Taylor Lautner, is hitting the gym for the opposite reason — to gain weight. His goal is to gain 29 pounds of muscle, to play Jacob in the Twilight sequel, New Moon.
He said:
I've been working hard for eight or nine months, and I've put on about 26 pounds of muscle. I'm literally in the gym every single day for at least two hours a day. It's hard work. My motivation is basically my passion for the character of Jacob and the series. I want the fans to be proud of the movie, so I have to live up to Jacob.
To find out what else he's doing besides exercising a ton read more.
Taylor is also "trying to eat as much as possible." He told Us Weekly, "Basically I'm supposed to eat everything I can and try to keep it lean. Lean meats and veggies."
Well it sounds like this 16-year-old actor is serious about getting in shape and bulking up. He must be doing lots of weight lifting and good ol' strength training to build his muscles, and so far, he's definitely looking beefier.

well he is definitely hotter now... sucky life though, two hours a day?
1Ummm he looks sickly sknny on the left...
2*skinny
3damn, he's fineeeeeee
4My husband used to have his problem, lol. Back when he was in high school and his first couple years of college, he was really skinny. He actually tried a weight-gaining program where he ate a bunch of tuna fish every day and lifted weights 3 or 4 times a week. He did gain weight, but now that he's older, he's definitely able to gain weight easily. It's just going to his middle instead of his biceps now, lol.
5Ooo what a cutie!!! Can't wait for New Moon...
6that is such a big difference!
7he looks pretty hot though haha ; )
It's very possible that this pubescent boy did in fact simply work his arse off to build muscle. He's in puberty and his testosterone levels are extremely high allowing for easier muscle building without having to resort to steroids or any other extreme measures. For him a high protein, high calorie diet along with intensive weight training could quickly result in much muscle mass.
Hopefully he keeps up some level of working out after these movies are down lest he become Chris Farley in the future.
8i can't believe how he looks so different and still the same!!!
9he looks hot though
Who is this kid? Well, either way, good for him.
10good for him, he looks great--and was unsure if i thought he could do it! i guess that shows his dedication for the role.
11I'd say that he's looking hot, but it just seems wrong say that about a sixteen year old boy.

Much hotter (and healthier) with the muscle and extra weight. Since I'm close in age
(just a bit older) I do not feel so wrong saying so,lol. 
13Dont you guys find he has canine features? to me he looks werewolfish(and still human and hot obviously) naturally with nothing added(makeup or props)like the sape of nose,eyes and even his teeth, and that is weird and unlikely to come by.
14That is why i wanted him to be in the sequel, hes adorable and does look like i picture Jacob.

Am I the only person who's a bit freaked out by the picture on the right? I understand he's buffing up to look older for his new role, but it's a bit sad he can't look his normal, regular 16yo self anymore.
But then again, I never thought unnatural-looking bulky guys were even remotely sexy.
16I'm curious when the picture on the left was taken. Looks like it might have been even before Twilight.
17He's not bulking up to look older per say, but because his character is supposed to go through noticeable physical changes (bigger, more muscle) according to the book. I hope they already filmed the beginning scenes of New Moon where he's not supposed to be that big yet!
Actors have to look the part, but my only concern is that he's so young. Can this have a negative impact on a 16-yr-old?
I was super skinny as a kid, and trust me it's just as offensive when someone comments on it. It's just like calling somebody fat. One can feel very ashamed of their physical apperance when everybody tells you you're skinny and sickly looking. Also, just because a dude beefs up, it does not mean he's healthy.
Taylor is likey to have a good team of professionals around him, but not all kids have such a Hollywood lifestyle where they can safely gain weight in such a short time.
I think he looks just fine, but he also looks like he's aged.
18his head looks HUGE on the left
19but i can't believe he's only 16
i thought he was in his 20s
i definitely thought he was at least 18
he looks like is is 12
20I completely agree Westopher. I have been thin all my life and felt like crap for being "skinny". I am okay withbit now but it can be just as hurtful as being called fat. I just hope that he is not damaging his body. His body was on its own course. I hope he is doing this in an healthy way.
He looks better thoguh. Didn't he play Shark Boy??
21LaurenG22, it's not exactly "sucky life" - yes, he's very young but this is his work, he gets paid for it, for playing in that movie, and for doing all that training.
22As a fan of Twilight, I'm happy he's playing Jacob, he's sweet, he really does look I picture Jacob
man he is really hot:)
23man he is really hot:)
24He looks too skinny in the pic on the left. It sorta scared me cuz I always see his pics and he is buff!! Yay buffness!!!
25He grew into his head! LOL HE HAwt!!
26of course he is doing it the healthy way, he even says so himself. I would get really really disappointed if the Jacob in New moon book turned out to be a skinny dude. He looks way younger than 16 in the picture to the left, even if he was like what? 15. Now that he is more buff it makes him look more masculine and his boyish charm has been replaced with more manliness.
27Damn! He looks so damn sexy and manly now compare to his boyish looks when he was younger. U look great man. Keep up the good work
28he's so sexyyyy very hot
29taylor lautner is the most beautifulest guy i have ever seen in my life i need him NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
