Taylor to RPattz Fans: 'Don't Hate On Me!'

by Celebuzz on Mar. 10, 2009 06:29 AM / 38 Comments

Taylor Lautner is pleadng with Robert Pattinson fans—don't take it personally.

Lautner called in to internet radio show StarTalk from the Vancouver, B.C. set of New Moon, where he pleaded with overzealous Rpattz followers to give him a break when the Twilight sequel hits.

The movie, which Lautner says will closely follow Stephanie Meyer's novel, is packed with animosity between Taylor's character Jacob Black and Rob's Edward Cullen. And it's got the 17-year-old hunk nervous for the fan reaction.

"Yeah, I guess I'm a little nervous," Lautner admitted, yet he is "thankful for the fans and even those Edward/Robert Pattinson fans, don't hate on me too much, I love you guys."

Nice preemptive strike, Tay. But he's also got some love for RPattz.

"He deserves [the attention]," Lautner said of Pattinson, "he did an amazing job at portraying Edward."

As for the next chapter of the vampire franchise, Taylor has indeed succeeded in gaining his weight goal of 30 lbs of hunkness and is spending his days chasing Kristen Stewart.

"In New Moon, Jacob and Bella's [Stewart's character] relationship goes to the next level...he's always pushing it along and taking it to the next level," Lautner said.

However he wouldn't say whether or not he and Stewart were going to share an onscreen smooch in New Moon. "I"m not going to tell you if we do," he said.

You tell us, fans: Would you hate on Lautner for sparring on screen with RPattz?

I might be sick. The kid is so annoying. His OTT ambition is distasteful. Pattinson has charisma and screen presence and this kid just doesnt.

Pattinson is the draw for this franchise so if they cut his screen time for Lautner it wont do so well at the box office. Summit would be mad to stick to the book.

I think that everyone needs to realize this is a movie I think Rob is super talented and his nonchalance makes him absolutely sexy but you need to quit hating on Taylor he is part of the movie an important part of the movie at that so I just dont understand do you think you are not a fan if you enjoy both actors

If you are a fan of the book you have to understand that his character becomes a major part of the second book. From the things I've been told, Pattinson got a pay raise of $2million to $10million and he is only in 2 scenes this film and he's happy about it. People can't hate on Taylor for the script he's written. Just hope he does a good job. Its Kristen Stewart who can't act anyways.

I hope they stick to the book. There are more Team Jacobs now than before - even though we still are a fraction of the Tea,m Edwards - but if they change the book just to give Rob more screen time, it's gonna hurt the franchise. A lot of Team Edwards even agree that the point is to MISS Edward. Putting him in for more screen time will ruin it.
