Teenage movie hunk Taylor Lautner has denied rumours he’ll be keeping his famous six-pack under wraps from now on.

The New Moon actor said: “If there’s another character later on in life that requires [baring my torso], I’m not opposed to it.”

The 17-year-old also revealed how he gained 30lbs of muscle for his role as werewolf Jacob Black in the Twilight films.

“I had to be putting something in my mouth every two hours,” he told Access Hollywood. “Meat patties, sweet potatoes, raw almonds – it’s not fun. A lot of protein.”

His character takes on the primary role in the second instalment, to be released later this month.

“I was concerned. “I knew where my character had to go. [But] he transforms mentally and emotionally as well.”
