J'ai tenté de traduire l'interview au mieux, vous le trouverez en-dessous de la version anglaise.
After yesterday pictures, here's a part of the interview that Taylor Lautner gave to TeenVogue magazine.
According to Taylor, there is a very specific sort of girl who's going to sign up for what's become known to Twilight fans as Team Jacob. "If she likes having a really close friendship with a guy," he begins, "being able to tell him anything, and then having that friendship slowly transform into something more...." The seventeen-year-old stops himself and laughs. "I find myself using the word transform a lot lately," he explains, "because that's what Jacob does."
It's not exactly a spoiler to say that Taylor's character in November's New Moon is going through some intense changes. As everyone who's seen the movie's trailer or read the books knows, Jacob Black is now a werewolf. And the changes that Taylor himself underwent in order to keep the part—as he says, "hitting the gym, hiring a personal trainer, eating the right foods, and eating a lot of them"—were equally evident. When that first trailer premiered at the MTV Movie Awards, the live (and apparently largely female) audience responded to a two-second shot of Taylor, shirtless, by screaming like they were on a roller coaster. Not that he's about to let all that adulation go to his head. "I think the fans would love anybody who played Jacob," he says mildly, when the reception is mentioned. "I'm just lucky to be the one who got the chance."
Taylor got into acting via a somewhat circuitous path. As a kid growing up in Grand Rapids, Michigan, he started competing in a sport called Xtreme Martial Arts—which he describes as "almost like gymnastics, in that you do a routine, but there's a lot of kicks and punches and flips"—and he found that he was pretty good; by the time he retired, at thirteen, he was a four-time world champ. It was his Hollywood-based karate coach (a onetime blue Power Ranger) who suggested that Taylor give show business a chance. "At first," he recalls, "I wasn't interested, but he said I could stay at his house for a few weeks, meet with some agents, go on auditions. " By the end of that month, Taylor says, "I liked it. Taking on roles that were the opposite of what I could be in real life? That's still my favorite thing."
Now Taylor lives with his family an hour outside Los Angeles, although the distance does little to dissuade the paparazzi. "There are twelve cars that camp outside my house," he marvels. "You can't ever really get used to it, because it's not normal to have people snapping pictures of everything you do. You just have to try not to let it affect you." Tabloid attention and spurious rumors are the norm for the Twilight cast right now—Taylor and his costars are already hard at work on the third film, Eclipse. And he seems quite capable of taking it all in stride: Asked about his alleged early summer romance with Disney star Selena Gomez, he says, quite unperturbedly, "She's a great girl." Asked whether Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson are indeed entangled in a torrid love triangle, he just laughs. "It's crazy," he admits, "but the fans help. They're a big part of the motivation."
As if on cue, a pair of wide-eyed young sisters approach his table, looking ecstatic. "We're all Team Jacob in our house," their mother says. Taylor does have a point when he insists that people are reacting, in part, to the character he plays—these two are each clutching one of author Stephenie Meyer's dictionary-size tomes for him to autograph—but he's also being too humble. The girls are definitely old enough to understand that Taylor is a rising star, not a teen werewolf, and they still look pretty starstruck.

Selon Taylor, il y un type bien spécifique de filles susceptibles de passer "Team Jacob": "Celles qui aiment les amitiés profondes avec un garçon où on lui raconte tout, et doucement cette amitié se transforme en quelque chose de plus…" L’acteur âgé de 17 ans s’arrête et rigole. "J’utilise de plus en plus ce mot "transformer" récemment car c’est ce que fait Jacob".
Ce n’est pas vraiment une surprise de révéler que le personnage de Taylor subit un profond changement dans New Moon. Comme ceux qui ont vu le trailer du film ou ont lu le livre le savent, Jacob Black est à présent un loup-garou.
Taylor s’est tourné vers le cinéma après avoir suivi un chemin quelque peu différent. En grandissant dans le Michigan, il a commencé un sport appelé ‘Art Martial Extrême’ qu’il décrit comme une sorte de gymnastique mais avec beaucoup de coups de poing et de sauts arrières. Très vite, il a compris qu’il était doué pour ça; et lorsqu’il arrête sa carrière à 13 ans, il était déjà quatre fois champion du monde. C’est son entraîneur qui lui donne l’idée de se lancer dans le cinéma. "Au début, ça ne m’intéressait pas mais il a insisté pour que je reste chez lui quelques semaines afin de rencontrer des agents et passer des auditions". Après un mois, Taylor était convaincu. "J’aimais ça. Interpréter des personnages qui me sont totalement opposés, c’est ce que je préfère."
Taylor vis à présent avec sa famille à une heure de Los Angeles, même si la distance ne tient pas les paparazzis à l’écart. "Douze voitures attendent devant chez moi. On ne s’y habitue vraiment jamais car je ne trouve pas ça normal que des gens vous prennent en photo dès que vous levez le petit doigt. Il faut juste faire en sorte que ça ne nous affecte pas personnellement". L’attention des médias et les rumeurs en tout genre sont devenues choses courantes pour les acteurs de Twilight qui tournent en ce moment le troisième film de la saga, Eclipse. Il ne se laisse cependant pas perturbé pour autant : concernant son amourette de vacances avec l’actrice de Disney, Selena Gomez il répond : "C’est une fille génial ". Et lorsqu’on le questionne sur la relation entre Kristen Stewart et Robert Pattinson : "C’est de la folie ! Mais les fans nous aident. Ils sont une énorme source de motivation."
