Taylor Lautner: Jacob's Long Hair Messed With His Mojo
By Bryan Alexander Posted Nov 11th 2009 02:10PM
There might be a serious split in Team Jacob's camp about which look is sexier -- long hair or short hair. But the 'Twilight Saga: New Moon' star Taylor Lautner says he preferred playing his character Jacob Black with the clean cut look. "It was so weird to see that long hair on me," Lautner said at the 'New Moon' press day, pointing to the very, very obvious fact that the long hair is a wig. "It was very itchy, hot, and annoying. It not only was uncomfortable," he adds, "But when I looked at myself in the mirror I wouldn't be able to recognize myself." Not only that, the long, black hair was messing with his Bella mojo.


And we all know Jacob needs all the help he can get with that well-groomed vampire, Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) always lurking about.
"(The wig hair) would get caught in my mouth, and I would be spitting it out in this scene where I'm coming close to kissing Bella," says Lautner. "It was annoying."
Finishing with the wig was "freeing," Lautner adds. "The last day of filming with the wig, we ripped it off, put it up in the air, and the whole crew gave a standing ovation," Lautner recalls smiling. "It was amazing to take that thing off."

It makes me sad. He was SO HOT with that wig. The scene where he's standing there looking at the motorcycles in the back of Bella's truck... when he shows her which handle is the gas and which it the brake... heck, when he first approaches her at the beginning of the movie to give her a birthday gift. With that long hair, he's absolutely the hottest guy in the world. But then again, I grew up during a time when I had pictures of Bret Michael, Jani Lane, and Sebastian Bach all over my walls.
