Taylor Lautner has said he had to fight for his Twilight role back after producers wanted to recast him with a “built, muscular man”.
The now-31-year-old was just 16 when he was first cast as werewolf Jacob Black in the 2008 movie based on Stephenie Meyer’s best-selling vampire book series. He went on to reprise the role throughout the rest of the films in the franchise: New Moon (2009), Eclipse (2010) and Breaking Dawn Part 1 (2011) and Part 2 (2012).
