Is Taylor Lautner more of a man than Robert Pattinson?
According to MTV News, who ranked Lautner in the #4 spot above Pattinson in #6 among their "Men of the Year" 2009 list, the answer is a resounding YES!
Taylor Lautner, 17, ignited hearts worldwide when he showed up in The Twilight Saga: New Moon 30-pounds of muscle heavier and made girls swoon when he was rumored to be romancing country music star Taylor Swift.
Would Taylor Lautner be the same craze he is today without his manly, muscular transformation? The word is still out whether he'll be even bigger in Eclipse (10 pounds more muscle, says Lautner) but Robert Pattinson seems to agree with MTV News' rankings.
In a past interview, Pattinson said of Lautner's boy-to-man physique, "It was incredibly annoying when I saw Taylor’s transformation,” the Sun quoted Robert as saying in a past interview. "I realized just having a pre-pubescent girl’s body wasn’t going to work for me any more," Pattinson said in the interview. Adding, "In fact I saw him and thought ‘Jesus, I’m going to get fired!"
