Taylor Lautner, aka everyone’s favorite werewolf-next-door from Twilight, is back howling over past heartbreak—and this time, he’s doing it in the most hilariously passive-aggressive way possible.
The 32-year-old actor, who made an entire generation question their loyalty to sparkly vampires, has officially joined a viral TikTok trend to reclaim his spot in the Twilight love triangle. And, oh boy, he’s still not over Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) picking glittery ol’ Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) instead of his abs—er, Jacob Black.
The Trend That Sparked the Werewolf’s Revenge
For those not glued to TikTok, this viral challenge involves people making bold statements before accidentally flipping the camera to expose themselves. Think “Oops, I said the quiet part out loud” energy, but with extra drama.
Cue Lautner, who decided it was finally time to drag Edward down from his sparkly pedestal. The video kicks off with a clip from Breaking Dawn — Part 1, where Bella and Edward are tying the knot in peak vampire-gothic fashion. The caption reads:
“Honestly, screw Edward. Bella should have ended up with Jacob.”
Then BAM! The camera flips, and there’s Lautner himself, looking like he just got caught stealing the last slice of pizza at a pack meeting. He stares into the lens with wide-eyed panic, as the words “oh no no no” pop onto the screen.
The Internet Loses Its Collective Mind
Apparently, the world was ready to revisit the great Twilight debate because the TikTok blew up faster than Jacob’s shirt during a fight scene. With over 23 million likes (and counting), fans flocked to the comments to rehash their teenage allegiance to Team Jacob. Some even joked that Lautner’s video has done more for Team Jacob PR than the entire Twilight saga.
Justice for Jacob
While this little TikTok stunt doesn’t exactly rewrite Twilight history, it’s clear Lautner’s having the last laugh—and maybe still nursing a grudge. But hey, if Bella didn’t choose Jacob, at least TikTok did.
Moral of the story? Never underestimate the power of nostalgia, thirst traps, and a well-timed camera flip. Sorry, Edward, but it looks like Jacob’s still in the game.
(Watch Taylor’s TikTok and relive the drama all over again—it’s basically therapy for your inner 2008 self.)
