Taylor Lautner Talks About What Attracts Him To A Girl

Taylor Lautner may be ripped and gorgeous, but a girl doesn’t have to be a Perfect 10 to attract him. Why? Because a great personality is just as (or more) important to the Twilight: Eclipse hunk as sexy good looks. “[Twilight character Bella Swan] is just this plain girl, which sometimes – I know for me – is attractive,” Lautner, 18, tells UK’s Now magazine. He adds, “Bella’s just an average girl, she’s clumsy, but I think she’s good-looking. She just has this thing about her, and Kristen Stewart plays her so well.”

That’s a refreshing statement from Taylor, who’s adored by millions of fans for his rippling six-pack and athletic good looks, especially since he works in an industry obsessed with physical perfection.

Indeed, Lautner was just named to Men’s Health magazine’s ‘Best Summer Body’ list, which was topped by Twilight co-star Kellan Lutz.

Taylor also nabbed seven individual nominations for the 2010 Teen Choice Awards, including Choice Summer Movie Star, along with Robert Pattinson. (The Teen Choice Awards, which will be hosted by Katy Perry, will air live on Fox Aug. 9.)

Taylor, who rides a motorcycle, is shirtless and has super-slick fight scenes in the upcoming thriller Abduction, recently caused a commotion on the film’s Pittsburgh, Pa., set, when over 100 female fans showed up to catch a glimpse of the Twilight sensation. When Lautner approached the crowd to sign autographs, lovesick fans were unable to control their emotions, shrieking and jumping up and down.

Meanwhile, Lautner has been keeping up his intense muscle-building workouts to maintain the buff physique he needs to play hulking werewolf Jacob Black in the Twilight saga. While Taylor eats every two hours and works out five days a week, he says resting is just as important to his fitness program.

Training and eating are only two-thirds of the muscle-building equation. “The other third is recovery,” he says. Lautner takes every third day off and never works out more than 5 days a week. “If you constantly pound your muscles, they’ll never have time to repair.”

Later this year, Taylor will begin shooting Breaking Dawn, the fourth installment in the Twilight saga. Breaking Dawn will be broken up into two separate films, with Part 1 due out in November 2011.
