The 17-year-old went on that the bullying he experienced was more of a psychological mocking rather than the physical stuff. "Not physical bullying but people making fun of what I do," he said as quoted the magazine's new issue. "I just had to tell myself I can't let this get to me. This is what love to do. And I'm going to continue to do it."
In the interview with the magazine, the depicter of Jacob Black also spoke about how fast his career has taken off. Despite admitting that he is "blown away" by the phenomenon "
Twilight" has created, he still kept his feet on the ground. "This could have happened to anybody who played Jacob," he said. "I was just lucky enough to be the one that has the opportunity. I'm so grateful. It's Twilight. It's not me personally."
As for his rumored romantic relationship with country star and "
Valentine's Day" co-star
Taylor Swift, Lautner remained coy. Nonetheless, he did teased, "Possibly." He added, "We got along great. We instantly clicked. And she's - she's an amazing girl. Aside from being beautiful, she's extremely funny, charismatic and fun to be around, so we definitely got along. We're close."
