Taylor Lautner takes over the cover of GQ magazine which comes out June 22nd. The Twilight Saga star is in the midst of the crazy Eclipse promotion tour with his costars Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson, but for this article, it was all Team Jacob.

Taylor Lautner on what it felt like to present at the Oscars, with Kristen Stewart:“I would have passed out if she wasn’t there!” Lautner says. “You’re looking down and you’re talking to George Clooney, Leonardo DiCaprio-and they’re listening to you!”

…on having to audition a second time for the role of Jacob Black:

“I’m in the gym, and I’m doing reps, and I’m reading the books, and I’m studying the character. I’m just saying to myself, ‘I want this role. I love this role. I’m not gonna lose it. And I’m gonna know it better than anybody, and I’m gonna do that extra rep, because I’m gonna be Jacob Black.’”

…on if he’s considered getting his own place:“Um, you know, not so much. There’s really no point. I’m so busy. I really haven’t thought about it…. The thing I love is that my home life hasn’t changed. I still help out with the garbage. I still help out with the lawn.”

…on being careful about his rep as a “beefcake”:

“Originally I was supposed to take off my shirt. The script [of "Valentine's Day"] said we were walking into school and Willy takes off his shirt. I said, ‘Whoa, whoa, whoa. Time out. He’s gonna take off his shirt in the middle of school? No, no, no. The reason I took off my shirt for New Moon is because it’s written in the book that way. And there’s reasons behind it.
