Best Part of Twilight Renaissance: Taylor Lautner Heats Things Up in the Bathtub
Taylor Lautner is enjoying his new-found Twilight fame.
Nearly 15 years after its premiere, The Twilight Saga is back on the screens of many televisions, laptops, and smartphones, as the new generation of viewers fall in love with the old fan-favorite series.
Especially after the COVID pandemic, there have been millions of TikToks (both adoring and sarcastic), parodies, reenactments, and saga-related products and services appearing — and all these things prove that the show has made a huge pop culture comeback.
And with it, the stars of the franchise are back on the public's radar. While Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson have successfully built their post-Twilight careers and become A-list Hollywood stars, for Taylor Lautner and his longtime fans, the Twilight Renaissance is a breath of fresh air.
After the actor portrayed werewolf Jacob Black in The Twilight Saga, his filmography has not been as big and successful as his co-stars' — Lautner appeared in only a few movies and series, none of which became big hits.
So the actor has been enjoying his newfound fame and growing fandom, doing his best to keep his old and new fans engaged and connected. And it looks like he is damn good at it!
His Instagram posts over the weekend are certainly proof of that. The Twilight alum, who has 9.3 million followers on Instagram, posted a gallery of three new photos that sent fans into a frenzy.
The photos were taken in the bathtub, which Lautner said he set up for 45 minutes, showing everyone's favorite werewolf naked and covered in bubbles. But the photos aren't so much sexy as they are adorable, with the 31-year-old actor playing with bubbles as a child and putting them on his head, Marge Simpson-style.
'Never know what to expect from this page, but never disappointed,' one of the fans wrote in the comments, referring to Lautner's habit of posting cute and sometimes embarrassing photos and videos of himself.
The Twilight Renaissance is not the only good thing that has happened in Taylor Lautner's life lately. Last year, the actor tied the knot with his longtime girlfriend, Taylor Dome, and according to Lautner's Instagram, the couple is very happy together.
