Taylor Lautner Talks About How ‘Weird’ It Is To Date Someone With The Same Name
Taylor Lautner sat down with Extra! TV to talk about his upcoming new sequel film The Twilight Saga: New Moon and was asked about his relationship with Taylor Swift. Lautner admitted to Extra! that he finds it “confusing” and “weird” to be involved with someone who shares his name … but methinks it’s not “confusing” or “weird” enough to make him stop 
Lautner also talks about the prospect of him stripping down to do that nude scene in fourth installment of The Twilight Saga … read on to find out what he has to say about that:
Taylor Lautner has been cozying up to Taylor Swift, and he tells “Extra” that it’s kind of funny dating somebody with the same name. “It gets confusing definitely,” Lautner, 17, told “Extra’s” Mario Lopez at the “New Moon” (out Nov. 20) junket Friday. “And it’s weird calling somebody your name.” Lautner’s character, werewolf Jacob, has a nude scene in the fourth book, “Breaking Dawn.” Would Lautner be open to stripping down? “I don’t think the fans or the studio would be open to it, so I don’t even really need to think about it,” says Lautner, adding that although the movie hasn’t been officially announced, he’s “just waiting to hear.” On Saturday, Swift, 19, winked and blew a kiss to Lautner during her opening monologue. (She also skewered ex-beau Joe Jonas and Kanye West. Watch here.) In an interview that aired last week on CMT Radio, Swift said she thinks Lautner is “an amazing guy.” “We’re really close… and ah…. yep… and we’re in a movie together and I am really excited about seeing it,” she continued. Their romantic comedy, “Valentine’s Day,” hits theaters in February.
The bit about sharing the same name with Taylor Swift is really cute … too damn cute, if you ask me. Regarding that nude scene in Breaking Dawn, well, Lautner may be right to say that the studio may not be into it but I’m pretty sure the fans would DEFFO be into a Jacob Black nude scene. With the way Summit Entertainment has been happy to exploit every possible way to make money from The Twilight Saga franchise, I wouldn’t put it past them. You never know … dreams really do come true sometimes.
