Why Taylor Lautner Got Blacklisted By Hollywood |⭐ OSSA

Taylor Lautner, a hotty Jacob from Twilight - but is it all we can say about this actor?
How did his co-stars from the Twilight Saga become household names in their own right, except for Taylor Lautner?
What movies we can see Taylor Lautner in? So what happened to the actor who portrayed a werewolf Jacob Black.
Why Hollywood won't cast Taylor Lautner? Taylor Lautner landed his first lead role in 2005. It was an adventure film called The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl.
The movie brought Lautner a nomination for Best Performance at the 2006 Young Artist Awards. In 2008 Taylor Lautner landed the role of Jacob Black in the now-iconic film Twilight.
The success of the very first movie far exceeded all expectations, and Taylor Lautner rose to an almost instant worldwide fame together with his co-stars Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson.
The actor gained approximately 30 pounds of muscle, which made his co-star Robert Pattinson worry about his own future on The Twilight Saga. Pattinson confessed that he was taken aback by Lautner's body and even thought he’d be fired.
As soon as Twilight: New Moon hit the theaters, the director Chris Weitz acknowledged Lautner’s contribution to the success of the movie, which lead to infamous Team Edward and Team Jacob divide.
Lautner certainly knows how much he owes his success to The Twilight Saga. The success of Twilight made Taylor Lautner one of the highly-paid actors. But the studios were not ready to pay a tidy little sum to an actor, whose acting performance was … mmm… questionable.
Taylor Lautner got $5 million for his first after-Twilight lead role in Abduction. Unfortunately, the movie didn’t even manage to break on its budget domestically.
Taylor Lautner turned his face to comedy and soon got the role on the successful British sitcom ‘Cuckoo’ and played the main role in the second season of ‘Scream Queens’. So what’s Taylor Lautner up to now, if he's not acting? Learn the rest by watching this video!

One of my reason. Other reason was Major Jasper Whitlock’s very interesting background story of his life performed by Jackson Rathbone. I would had love movie series base on Major Whitlock’s human story , vampire story during Vampire Wars period and his love story adventure with Alice. This would be more interesting to me with his struggles of becoming animal sucking vampire after years of him living off humans , him developing and dealing with his multiple of vampire personalities resulted from his time in Vampire Wars and more interesting with telling of Alice’s story before they had met up with Cullen family. Then , movies about how Cullen family began as family through years before meeting Bella Swan. I would be equally interested in full movies about La Push’s wolves from beginning to present day with Jacob. Heck , Carlisle Cullen and Esme Cullen’s human to vampire storylines would had been very intriguing to me. Bella and Edward were my least interesting characters in the movie and book series. I had wish Jacob had imprinted and falling in love with Leah since I had felt they had more chemistry together over him and Bella or Nessie.

This is most likely the answer. Most of the genuinely good ones tend to stay away from the inner core of Hollywood and stay on the periphery, or stick to acting ventures in other smaller industries (Canada, the U.K., and foreign film acting industries are far less toxic by comparison). Very rarely does a genuinely good person get into the top echelons of Hollywood, and **if** any of those actors that do are good people, they're put through hell and end up with major mental health issues.

I have that much more respect for an actor who can step away, stay grounded & enjoy what he has rather than needing to stay in the spotlight to feel validated. Good for him! Enjoy life. 😊

[@ILoveallthegirls1]

I think generally his 'problem' is picking/being picked roles that sound good on paper, but come to nothing on screen. I can genuinely say I've enjoyed his roles in movies and shows, Cuckoo he saved. Twilight saga, should have had a spinoff or two based on his character, there's a lot more to his dissaperance at the start of the last book (breaking dawn part 1). And he was the funniest part of Ridiculous six.

What happened to Taylor is the same thing that has happened to several actors. He tried to capitalize on his Twilight success, but the projects he chose were not well received. Because he rose to fame in Twilight, most casting directors are not going to take him seriously. Both Kristen and Robert did indie projects that showcased their range and got positive buzz. Eventually, they started getting cast in big movies again. He needs to do the same until he can get cast in a high-profile role again. Alternatively, he could try TV like Freddie Highmore. Freddie was a successful child actor, but was unable to transition to adult roles as he got older. So Freddie did Bates Motel and now he's the lead on The Good Doctor, another hit TV show. Matthew McConaghey's career hit the skids for a while until he did a TV show and then he started getting cast in more movies. Taylor is still very young and he has plenty of time to resurrect his career. He just needs to find a path that works.

[@sking0707]

Miss Priss 100% agree!!

Agree, his range definitely needs work otherwise he'll be limited to roles where he's got limited lines but his face and body get most of the attention.
