Taylor Lautner loves having short hair again after being forced to wear a long wig for his new movie.
The 17-year-old actor had to don lengthy tresses for upcoming film Twilight: New Moon , but was relieved to be told he could ditch it for good in the second half of the sequel.
He told America's Boston Globe newspaper: "I would not want that hair. When I looked at myself in the mirror, I couldn't even recognise myself."
The star also discovered he was a book worm after reading the novels the movie series is based on.
Lautner admits he never really read much before picking up Stephanie Meyer's Twilight Saga series - and then he was hooked.
He said: "As a matter of fact, I was not a book reader at all. The only books I ever read were the ones I was forced to in school.
"But when I started reading this book series, I fell in love with the characters and started turning the pages one after another. It was crazy. I never thought I could do that.
"But I love this story. This franchise has everything in it - romance, action, suspense. It has a dark side to it."
The Hollywood star has also revealed it was extremely tough trying to gain weight for the role and he had to resort to eating every two hours to pile on the pounds.
To bulk up, he carried around a little bag of high-energy foods to make sure he was scoffing enough calories a day.
Lautner said: "I was trying to put on weight. I knew if I was in the gym too much I'd lose weight. I was motivated to get in the gym, but the eating was pretty hard.
"Basically, I ate every two hours. I carried a little baggie with beef patties, raw almonds and sweet potatoes."

I am a Twilight Addict for sure! I am Team Jakeward all the way, lol. I reckon Eclipse should be the best version of all for movies... but the books kick butt much more! But if you've read the books, I don't think it matters at all whether this one will live up to expectations, cause the stories have already captured our hearts!

Well what can I say, I am a total Twilight addict! I love the two films so far- but love the books a whole lot more! They NEED to make Breaking Dawn into 2 films. There are just sooo many amazing parts to it that so many [important] things will end up getting missed out! It is kinda essential that it's made into two films! Please, make two films!

I ahve to say that Jacob is who I would go with because of his looks but he hasn't got the personality that Edward has. If I were Bella and Jacob had the personality of Edward you would have the best guy in the world!!
