He had personal things to do which is why he refused to come back but also because Sharkboy had such a small part so if Sharkboy and Lavagirl get a sequel then Lautner will definitely return
@@miriambamford6513 Ha! Yes, that's true. Rob Pattinson is definitely more interesting, to me at least. I'm just offering the benefit of a doubt. People can be surprising.
Into the mainstream maybe, but Pattinson has been working in critically acclaimed projects for the past 5 years or so. Lautner has potential but the writing is just so flat, he doesn’t have much room to work, nor is he given good direction on those films.
He's only 28. He still has plenty of time to get back into Hollywood if he wanted to. He's also super rich, has a girlfriend, and is doing well in TV so who needs big box office roles
"Girlfriend" could quickly lead towards considerably less super rich should he make the wedding-mistake .... as a male actor having more time left (to get into character roles after the body ones) than his female actor colleagues would help if he wasn't cast for the abs only.
He got paid very well for Breaking Dawn 1&2. He still doesn’t have the kind of big bucks that Pattinson and Stewart have. People on this level have staff to provide salaries for, mansions and grounds to maintain. I can only imagine the utility bill to heat and cool one of those large mansions. So called millions of dollars can dry up if you’re not replacing it with more millions. Heaven forbid if he married has kids and then the wife divorces. He’ll likely bleed out even more money. If he gets washed up as an actor better he leads a less high end life. He could build a lovely home in a secluded place and live a quiet life. Go back to school or something.

He needs to be featured in a horror movie. I feel like that’s a great way to show range and break the mould you end up in by being in a big franchise or a block buster movie. Look at Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Jennifer Lawrence, Robert Pattinson, Shailene Woodley, Kristen Stewart, breaking the mould and trying to break free
Easy to say when you are young and hot, but if that’s all you are riding on it won’t be a career for long as what’s in is a fickle thing and you can’t adapt you get left behind.
He’s naturally gifted for action roles. Fall into where you fit in and then branch out from there. People are always fighting against the current, it’s ok to roll with the flow.
Matthew McConaughey realized years ago that if you want to have a long lasting acting career, you better be able to do more than look good with your shirt off.
@Furious_DC Everybody turning out as a good actor will be acknowledged and cast for different roles after a takeoff like "Twilight". Not so much valid for tits'n abs-only actors I'm afraid.
I actually thought "Abduction" was pretty good. Great fight sequences and Lautner is a savage in it. I thought it would be a good jump off for him to do more action roles similar to the Bourne films. But that wasnt meant to be. Unfortunately.
I didn‘t realise how really YOUNG Lautner is. Everyone was talking about how Young Stewart was when Twillight started but he was really just a baby at hardly 16 years old. He is still so young and he still has a name. I wish him the best, I think he is a very Sweet person.
What I took out of this long and exasperating video is that Taylor may have finally broken the curse of Jacob Black thanks to the UK. I hope for nothing but the best for him
@slasherflicks true enough. It’s a risk for sure but you never know until you go for it. Some actors manage to get away with it though. Take Samuel L Jackson, Denzel Washington, etc. they only play well themselves but it works in a wide range of roles. Perhaps Taylor can refine his trade and take that approach. Could work in his favor. The Indie Circuit could help with that. But you aren’t wrong though, a lot rides on the actor(s) ability.
Um, he's done 6 movies, a short a 3 tv series since Twilight. He was in a documentary in 2020. Been a couple years though since he had anything significant. He has a steady girl and bought a house, so it's OK for him to chill for a bit. He was superbusy there for quite a few years. He'll be back.
Goes both ways perhaps, he isn't particulary good at what he did, but still got paid royaly for it and is set of life if he doesn't squander it. Got further than most people will ever get.
@@missleadingbunny No. She is no better. The only good actor of that horrid love triangle is Robert Pattinson. Just watch TENET, or High times, or that lighthouse movie he did with William dafoe
To be honest TV has been doing better than Hollywood has done in years apart from Marvel and the star wars franchise (which funnily enough has been doing better with Mandorlian than the movies)
Directors chose actors, not the other way around. Any successful actor did as much as they could do because with visibility comes comes freedom of choice.
It's very simple. He's a child star who hasn't transitioned and is too expensive to try. His acting can be wooden. Sad part is abduction is not bad it's forgettable
4:32 So Brad Newsome is just pointing out the who premise of that movie in his review? It's an Adam Sandler movie very rarely do you EVER take those like some sort of serious dramatic culturally conscious movies ... I enjoyed Ridiculous 6 personally it was stupid and funny which is really nice to watch once in awhile imo...
I thought this video would just say "His sub-par acting" & that's it lol. I have watched all his movies to see if my dislike of his acting in Twilight was just influenced by me liking "Edward" more & because the premises of most was pretty good..but i sadly kept noticing he was just not great. I think he can definitely come back,but can he be any better? Idk. Either way,he has enough of a resume to grab some good things.
I feel bad he got pigeonholed by the industry. He obviously had talent (outside his abs) in Twilight. I hope he finds the right role for him that brings him success, even if it doesn’t include a big budget film with a huge pay check. Look at how Indi films have launched careers!
Taylor just doesn't fit the Hollywood scene as far as I see it. I can't quite put my finger on it but it is something if not many things. One big one is he is not the greatest a tie out there and he was very lucky to even be cast in Twilight...
In order for him to get old of the Twilight saga light, I think he should try to do a Villainess roll and maybe try to give a long time thinking of what rolls he will want. If he give a truly scary performance he might just get out of the Twilight light. Sometimes you need to go into darkness inorder to Shine.
some actors have chosen to only play specific roles: arnold schwarzenegger tried comedy , but more people prefer him in action movies , and guy who played villain in man of steel , said in interview that he only wants to be seen as villain in movies , he was also villain in kangaroo jack , there are some actors also saying they will not play certain roles , i think ben affleck said he does not like wearing superhero clothes since he played daredevil , also guy who said "shoot her" in legions 2009 movie , i have never seen him play a comedian in any movie , he mainly plays mentor and boss in movies , and guy in movie called hero wanted who has scar on his face is villain and also played villain in movie called smoking aces assassins ball....and chuck norris i have seen playing martial artist in movies since bruce lee was still alive and again in walker texas ranger series to karate kid , i don't recall ever seeing chuck norris in comedy , not saying they are not great at comedy , but is about if many fans like them in comedy but i wonder.... what would happen if taylor lautner did method acting lets not forget many other actors who were in movies still not known by world ups and downs happen all time
Bcoz men get objectified even more than wahmin. The talentfree cleavage gets less and less of a thing (even with Amber Heard still around, all the others can read and write and think and act though), the talentfree abs still is a type cast as it ever was since Arnie became Conan and Sly became Rambo.
So he's dated two girls named Taylor? That's kind of weird. I always hoped I would date a Stephanie but it never happened, and it would have been kind of weird too.
bcoz the vampire guy actually tried after the twilight , rather than going right to big project like this wolf dude did the vampire guy go after small roles and small movies and he improved from there
Do you miss seeing Taylor Lautner in movies?
who ??
;-)
Yeah! I will miss his performance as Sharkboy in The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl.
Yes
Another "Taylor" probably threatened to send her flying monkeys if he wasn't made a non-person.
Hell no 😁😁
Still disappointed he didn't come back as Sharkboy.
I was hoping he would, but his replacement was not disappointing
@@TheSzczur i mean the costume was cool... but we saw him for like 35 seconds
Me Too
He had personal things to do which is why he refused to come back but also because Sharkboy had such a small part so if Sharkboy and Lavagirl get a sequel then Lautner will definitely return
Dream dream dream dream dream dream
Rob Pattinson is only now just coming into his own after Twilight, so why not Taylor? I wish him well. He seems like a genuinely decent dude.
Because he cannot act, doesn't have the versatility of Pattinson either.

Kinda. No and no girl
As long as he didn’t blow those Twilight checks and invested his money smartly, he’s set for life. He doesn’t need to work anymore.

Yeah, idk y YT recommended this to me..i guess maybe cause allot of movies are crap these days and I watch The Critical Drinker but.. who knows..
@@kdbublitz88 JAH😭😭😭😭😭
If Daniel Radcliffe can break away from Harry Potter I know he can do it.
Pretty sure Taylor's type cast as a buff guy that can't act, and the Adam Sandler movies didn't help much and he didn't do much other than that
@@Caponeson1 I mean, Daniel Radcliffe is still mostly know for Harry Potter. I’d even dare to say he’s only known for that role.
*Man Robert Pattinson is Batman now. If Taylor can’t get roles it’s because of the fact that he can’t act.*
*They are the perfect couple. He will have a hard time forgetting her name*
Daniel has proven he actually had something to offer.
He needs to be featured in a horror movie. I feel like that’s a great way to show range and break the mould you end up in by being in a big franchise or a block buster movie. Look at Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Jennifer Lawrence, Robert Pattinson, Shailene Woodley, Kristen Stewart, breaking the mould and trying to break free
Call me a sellout or whatever but if people wanted to pay me millions for easy roles where they just want to get my abs on screen, all aboard!
Exactly! I'd do it in an instant. Passion projects doesn't pay the bills.
And he could still do small films in between blockbusters, like Pattinson has been doing before coming back to big films with The Batman.
Preach brother
Then you’re obviously not a serious actor. He takes his craft seriously
Easy to say when you are young and hot, but if that’s all you are riding on it won’t be a career for long as what’s in is a fickle thing and you can’t adapt you get left behind.
He earned my Respect when he played that speical guy in that Adam Sandler movie
Me too
Ridiculous 6. I cracked up on his scene when he was hanging.
You not wrong
Hell yeah
Doing 20 continous backflips for no reason at all.
He’s naturally gifted for action roles. Fall into where you fit in and then branch out from there. People are always fighting against the current, it’s ok to roll with the flow.
If he wants a huge boost on career, he should see if he can get in Deadpool 3. Deadpool 2 exploded firefist's stardom

@Furious_DC Everybody turning out as a good actor will be acknowledged and cast for different roles after a takeoff like "Twilight". Not so much valid for tits'n abs-only actors I'm afraid.
McConaughey had a long career based on looks and body. About a decade of romance comedies.
Matthew never reinvented himself 😅 His roles just became noticeably different
I feel like he would be better in comedic roles, he has potential
I see what you mean and I completely agree 8:36
Yeah he was pretty good in Valentine's Day
Like the guy from 21 jump street?
yesss he was so good in the ridiculous 6
K this is about him, but who would have ever guessed Pattison would become batman.
Hmm Who should play Night Wing?
@@hotspur4237 that would be awesome actually
@@oatlord Awesome!? we're gonna need another can of spray on abs! 😭 (Mainly because we can't have our Night Wing look tougher than our batman 😔)
@@ComfyDonut awesome in that they'd cast these two again.
Sucks that we have to wait so long for it
I wouldn't mind seeing him as a main villain in the Robert Pattinson Batman movies. How ironic.
I actually thought "Abduction" was pretty good. Great fight sequences and Lautner is a savage in it. I thought it would be a good jump off for him to do more action roles similar to the Bourne films. But that wasnt meant to be. Unfortunately.
SAMEEEEE
🤦🤦😂😂you must be joking
Because he don't wanna strip. Blackbaled
I didn‘t realise how really YOUNG Lautner is. Everyone was talking about how Young Stewart was when Twillight started but he was really just a baby at hardly 16 years old. He is still so young and he still has a name. I wish him the best, I think he is a very Sweet person.
Because he went to the UK and found his true calling working with a man called Greg Davis
Agree - I thought he was superb in ‘Cuckoo’ 👏🏼
Slough
Right! That’s the first time I ever saw his work and he was hilarious in Cuckoo!!!!
Its a shame, he's a good actor, hope he gets back
Clearly because of his weird relationship with the baby in twilight.
Wooow ugh no. That’s not why. Lol
I mean, that's not his fault, that was the role. It's the screenwriting and the book - aka Stephenie Meyer's really weird fantasies
Honestly this sounds a lot like what happened to the friends cast.
Jacob：“Edward?”
Bling guy: “Im batman!”
😂😂😂
I laughed harder than I should’ve, but it’s true lol
It is true pattinson is not Edward anymore he is Bruce Wayne now
I still enjoy his acting. Screw everything else
IKR! Taylor was a good actor in general, I didn't even know he was in twilight before when I started liking him.
What I took out of this long and exasperating video is that Taylor may have finally broken the curse of Jacob Black thanks to the UK. I hope for nothing but the best for him
He should probably look to the Indie circuit. It’s done wonders for other actors who started down the type casting hole.
Facts look at Robert Pattinson
@slasherflicks true enough. It’s a risk for sure but you never know until you go for it. Some actors manage to get away with it though. Take Samuel L Jackson, Denzel Washington, etc. they only play well themselves but it works in a wide range of roles.

Did you...did you just compare Taylor Lautner to RDJ?!
Um, he's done 6 movies, a short a 3 tv series since Twilight. He was in a documentary in 2020. Been a couple years though since he had anything significant. He has a steady girl and bought a house, so it's OK for him to chill for a bit. He was superbusy there for quite a few years. He'll be back.
Documentary?

I remembered to be so obssesed with him in my early teens where I even named my facebook after him with his face for years hahahaha
Now you have pictures of his feet?
He’ll bounce back. Hollywood careers has its ups and downs, he’s finding his own path & still quite young. ♥️
@Mr JL Pattinson isn't an abs-only type cast giving solid evidence for that fact every time he opens his mouth ...
Halo effect in effect
He needs to do challenging, bold indie films.
He should join marvel and play Hercules.
hercules role requires body showing , and he doesnt want to show his body
The entire Twilight cast has been dumped except for Robert Pattinson. Kristen Stewart is box office poison herself
7.5 mill a movie I've would of done about 4 to 5 movies and dipped out
i agree. hell id do three and gone, more then enough money forthe rest of my life
Me too

Goes both ways perhaps, he isn't particulary good at what he did, but still got paid royaly for it and is set of life if he doesn't squander it. Got further than most people will ever get.
Am I the only person who thinks he was hilarious in the ridiculous 6
Nope, I think so too.
This happens to TV stars that are on TV shows for so long and the actors aren't taken serious on big screens.
I would hate taking my shirt off all da time too 😂
Nice positive open ending for the video, who knows right? nicely done.
Seems like a real nice guy though. Smart to find a girl out of that toxic industry.
Because he's a terrible actor. That's why you don't see him.
And Kristen Stewart is any better...?
@@missleadingbunny yes
@@missleadingbunny No. She is no better. The only good actor of that horrid love triangle is Robert Pattinson. Just watch TENET, or High times, or that lighthouse movie he did with William dafoe
@@OscarMPG1 agreed. I don’t get why they Kristen gets so much press. She has no range. Robert is definitely the best of the three.
Stewart has a father who has serious pull in Hollywood. That's how she got the Twilight role in the first place.
Most of the twilight actors careers suffered because of those movies. Not all but most
A good actor can’t save a bad script and bland direction. He’s good but he’s generally been attached to bland projects.
To be honest TV has been doing better than Hollywood has done in years apart from Marvel and the star wars franchise (which funnily enough has been doing better with Mandorlian than the movies)
He still young... He's gonna come back with great roles !!!! I think he's a good actor..
No he's not
HES A GREAT ACTER
Yeh right
I thought Abduction was pretty good.
Sameeee
Are you wired up right..
If Riverdale had been made 10 years earlier, Lautner could have been cast as Archie.
Omg yes
Am I the only person who remembers him by cheeper by the dozen 2
He’s just so cute! I’d watch him in anything.
He kinda looks like a mix of Ashton Kutcher and Tom Cruise
“Who throws a shoe? Honestly?”
Dude, just stick to what you _can_ do: take your shirt off. It certainly isn't your acting ability.
Directors chose actors, not the other way around. Any successful actor did as much as they could do because with visibility comes comes freedom of choice.
No mention of Grown Ups 2?
It's very simple. He's a child star who hasn't transitioned and is too expensive to try. His acting can be wooden. Sad part is abduction is not bad it's forgettable
He was absolutely dismal in Abduction. Haven't seen other projects but it's hard for me to overlook his performance.
