Twilight star Taylor Lautner got fruity on a US chat show – by catching grapes in his mouth.

The 17-year-old actor demonstrated a game he plays with co-star Kristen Stewart during an appearance on Conan O’ Brien’s show.

When the host threw grapes high in the air, Taylor Lautner caught every one. He grinned and cheered as he successfully caught three out of three.

Lautner, who plays Jacob Black in Twilight and sequel New Moon, also spoke about his sudden rise to fame – and experiences with fans of the film.

He admitted feeling terrified during a press event in Brazil, when 2,000 girls broke into a hotel.

“One day Kristen and I were doing interviews on the second floor of our hotel, and all of a sudden our security guards rushed into the room, they locked the doors all around us,” he said.

“We were like: ‘What’s happening”? They came up to us and said: ‘OK, 2,000 girls just rushed into the lobby. They somehow got past hotel security and somehow they know you’re up in this room and they’re on their way up’. That’s the only time I have actually felt in danger’.”

Lautner explained: “Apparently there were flex cuffs on the doors, the 2,000 were outside the doors and all of a sudden they start shaking the doors… and bust into the lobby.

“Kristen and I were talking afterwards and we were saying: ‘Let’s just say they get into this room. What are they going to do? What do they want from us? Are they going to rip us apart? What’s going to happen?’”

But Lautner explained it is not just the younger fans who get a little over-excited. ‘Twilight Mums’ are just as bad.

“The Twilight Moms are very intense, very passionate,” he laughed.

“One Mom was at a store and stole a cardboard cut out of myself – a lifesize cardboard cut out.

“She grabbed it and was just running down the mall. Security were running after her and she was just getting out of the door.”

New Moon smashed box office records when it opened last week.
