Taylor Lautner recently joked that his character, Jacob Black, from the Twilight saga should have ended up with Bella Swan instead of Edward Cullen, in a funny TikTok video that has fans buzzing.
Twilight Ending: Jacob vs. Edward
The actor posted a playful TikTok on Saturday where he took part in a trending challenge, where users make awkward statements before unintentionally turning the camera toward themselves. Lautner shared a clip from The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part 1 (2011), showing the scene where Bella marries her vampire love, Edward Cullen.
In the video, Lautner cheekily wrote, “Honestly, Edward. Bella should’ve ended up with Jacob.” He then turned the camera toward his own face, appearing shocked and mock-scared, with “oh no no no” written across the screen.
Fans React to Lautner’s Playful Joke:
Lautner, 32, delighted fans with his humorous take on the long-debated Twilight love triangle. One fan commented, “HE WON THIS TREND.” Another added, “This made my year.”
As the comments poured in, one fan jokingly wrote, “TAYLOR,” to which Lautner playfully responded, “THAT WAS A MISTAKE.”
Jacob Black and the Twilight Love Triangle
In the Twilight series, Lautner portrayed Jacob Black, a werewolf, who fought for Bella’s heart against Edward Cullen, played by Robert Pattinson. Despite Jacob’s deep love for Bella, she ultimately chose Edward, leaving many fans still torn between the two characters.
Lautner’s recent comments were a fun reflection on the decades-long debate over Bella’s ultimate choice and the rivalry between Jacob and Edward that captured the hearts of Twilight fans worldwide.
In an interview on the Call Her Daddy podcast in December 2023, Lautner also recalled the sometimes awkward moments while working alongside Robert Pattinson. Lautner admitted that filming their love triangle scenes was challenging, especially when thousands of fans cheered for one of them and booed the other. Despite the rivalry, Lautner described Pattinson as a “wonderful” and “sweet” person, but acknowledged that they were “very, very different people” and never connected deeply outside of their roles.
