Taylor Lautner Hasn’t Won the Critics’ Hearts
When The Twilight Saga was at the height of its fame, Taylor Lautner was thought to be the hottest rising young star. But we haven’t seen much of him anywhere, and it’s easily explained. Firstly, it was more than a bit hard to move out of the shadow of his Twilight character Jacob. He starred in the 2011 movie Abduction, but his performance got panned by critics.
Taylor’s acting skills have been called in to question time and time again. On top of that, he comes with a pretty hefty price tag making him hard to take a gamble on. As one film critic put it after watching Abduction, Taylor “looks like a stranger in his own performance.” He’s choosing to stay away from the limelight these days, but he wasn’t given much choice otherwise.
