TAYLOR Lautner still can’t get used to seeing his face everywhere.

The 17-year-old actor — who plays werewolf Jacob Black in the Twilight movie series — says he does a double take when he is featured on a movie poster.

“I don’t think there’s a way to ever get used to it,” he said. “It’s not normal to drive down the street and see your face up there.

“But it’s Twilight. It comes with the job I guess.”

Taylor recently revealed that he avoids reading gossip about his life.

“I try to stay away from what has been written about me because if you let that stuff get to you and it’s not true, it can drive you crazy,” he said.

“One thing that I have heard recently, which is definitely not true, I was quoted as saying I will never take my shirt off for a movie again. I didn’t say that. If I have to, if the character requires it, I will.

“Who knows, in 10 years, I might do that. And like I said earlier, if a character requires me to lose 40 lbs, I’ll do it. It’s just what the character requires.

“I knew where my character went in New Moon and that’s all I tried to focus on. I couldn’t control things outside or the media. But I could control what I was doing to portray Jacob correctly.”
