Taylor Lautner of Twilight Fame Appears in Rare Video

Unless you're living under a rock or in a cave or something, you probably have at least heard of the upcoming release of "New Moon", the second installment in the "Twilight" series about a normal human girl who falls in love with a vampire and is also best friends with a werewolf. As a fan personally of this set of films (so far, of course), I can't help but be intrigued by the movies' actors and their daily happenings. I believe you can't help but to get wrapped up and get to know the actors, since they'll be appearing before us for four films altogether, playing some of our very favorite characters from books brought to life. And Taylor Lautner is no exception. Young as he may be, I can't help but to feel smitten by this handsome, athletic, and charming young man.

And any fan of Taylor Lautner, the seventeen year old actor who will soon be reprising his role as wolf Jacob Black in "New Moon" come November 20, 2009, can tell you he's a fun actor to follow. But did you know he can be spotted lip-synching in a video?

Recently leaked out into the internet is a video that's being dubbed as a school project that Taylor 'stars' in. It's a simple video set to One Republic's "Apologize", which was released in late 2007. It's about three minutes long and features Taylor lip-synching the song. The rumor is that it was a class project for a video productions class. The thought is that it must be recent, as Taylor doesn't look that much younger in the video.

Taylor Lautner was born on February 11, 1992 in Grand Rapids, Michigan. He began training in karate at the tender age of six and it became a love in his life. This was proven when he became a champion in the Junior World Forms and Weapons competition at the 2000 World Karate Association trials. He went on to gain two more championships and a black belt by the time he was twelve.

Taylor began his acting career in the year 2001 with roles on TV shows like My Wife and Kids and The Bernie Mac Show. His big break came in 2005 when he starred as Shark Boy in "The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl". And, of course, an even bigger break happened for Taylor with 2008's "Twilight", and critics are expecting him to explode into the Hollywood scene with November's "New Moon" release.

So check out the youtube video of Taylor 'singing' here. It may not be his voice that's belting out the tune, but it sure is nice eye candy for all the girls out there.
