Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner were fairly young when taking on their roles in “The Twilight Saga,” and that made things tricky for them, according to Lautner. During a February episode of “The Toast” podcast, Lautner explained that dynamic a bit. Even before the movies came out, fans were super passionate about whether they were “#TeamEdward” or “#TeamJacob,” and that rolled into real life for the actors. “I do feel like it was very strange traveling the world and being in different cities and having thousands of screaming fans either taking your side or the other guy’s side,” Lautner explained. “Like, we’re a team. We’re both just trying to make the best movies. It was a little bizarre, the competitiveness. There wasn’t a competitiveness between me and Rob, but having that constant reminder, it definitely had an impact,” he explained.
Interestingly, Pattinson expressed a different kind of competitive feeling when discussing the films in an interview with a Mexican outlet in 2011. “I had never been so worried about [how I was going to look] before, but after seeing how much Taylor works out for the movies, I thought, ‘Well, everybody is really going to judge me now,'” he told the magazine, according to Huff Post.
