Michael Copon: I’ve Got 60 Pounds on Taylor Lautner
Looks like Michael Copon and Taylor Lautner will be duking it out for the role of Jacob Black!
Michael, 26, just spoke with J-14 to talk about nabbing himself the perfect part in New Moon, the upcoming sequel to Twilight.
On what he’s been doing to prepare: I feel like I need to bulk down. Right now I’m close to 200 pounds of muscle. Taylor’s [Lautner] probably what, 140, if he’s lucky? I’m already 200 pounds, so there’s no need for me to get any bigger. Plus he’s 5′6″ and I’m 6′2″. In the book, he grows eight inches and I’m exactly eight inches taller than Taylor. Huge difference.
On why he should get the role of Jacob Black: I have nothing against Taylor personally. I think he’s great and tremendous at what he does. But it’s just adjusting to the fact that Jacob has to grow. It’s a matter of going with the storyline. It goes with the territory. I see so much in Jacob Black that I feel like wasn’t brought to the first film that if I had the opportunity, I would totally create an amazing character.
On the books: I’ve read the first one and I’ve dabbled through the Cliffs Notes of the second and third ones. I haven’t had time to actually sit down and read the whole book, but I kind of know what happens.
Check out the rest of the Q&A with Michael @ J-14.com.

BRASIL, IRRRRRRI
Go home loser. No one wants you. [2 votes]
NOOOOOOOOO! I swear…this guy is so cocky! And he is really immature and disrespectful by placing such lines on his facebook profile!! I hope he does get the part, so when Eclipse is made into a movie, Kristin can punch him in the face!!
they HAVE GOT to keep Taylor !!!
he earned this part more than ANYONE!
he cares so much about the story and he cares about Jacob as a person and his relationship with Bella and not about WHAT HE LOOKS LIKE!!!
C’MON that Michael guy is only interested in the part cause he knows Twilight was a huge hit, so he hopes he could break out through New Moon!
that’s so obvious!
TAYLOR we’re with YoU !!!! 4ever! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
TEAM TAYLOR !
and a huge ” N O ! ! ! ” for that cash&fame-hunting freak!
TAYLOR ALL THE WAYY !
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
SUMMIT YOU ALREADY MADE A STUPID 1ST MOVIE THAT DIDN’T HONOR THE BOOK IN THE BEST WAY
AND KNOW YOUR TAKING ON THE BEST GOOD CHOICES THAT WERE MADE
WHAT A BUNCH OF IDIOTS!!! I MEAN HOW MUCH MORE IDIOTIC CAN YOU GUYS GET??????????
MICHAEL COPON OMG!! ARE YOU SERIOUS I WILL DEF BOYCOTT THIS MOVIE IF I EVEN SEE HIM IN A COMMERCIAL …… DO NOT GIVE HIME THE ROLE THIS IS JUST SOMETHING THAT SHOULDN’T EVEN BE DISCUSSED! OMG
NO!!!! Taylor should still be jacob because he started on twilight already.
its not so nice to change characters since we already visualized jacob black as taylor!!! TAYLOR SHOULD STAY!!
he sounds like a jerk
Taylor for the win!
is this guy for real? he is so full of himself and he wont fit in with the dinamics of the group…everyone in the film is modest and cool and he is cocky and annoying. i will be so upset if they switch out Taylor…thats Taylor’s part and no one elses!
they r both sooo hot
NO ONE CAN EVER REPLACE TAYLORRR!!!!!
I HATE YOU MICHAAEELL!!!!
so what if ur taller and FATER!!
he has the perfect body and all the fgirls
love him no one wants to see ur fattt
and in new moon jacob is mostly
shirtless and we REALLY REALLY DON’T WANT
tO SEE UR UGLY BODY1!!!
I WANTT TAYLORRRR!!!!!!!!
It’s simple :
NO TAYLOR
NO FANS !
CIAO !
All i wanna say is, “MICHAEL COPON WILL NEVER EVER BE JACOB BLACK! TAYLOR IS SOO MUCH BETTER!” I hate it when movies change the actors for the same characters. It ruins the movie and you wanna follow those characters AND the same actors throughout the whole series of movies!
TEAM TAYLOR!!! I don’t like Copon at all,Taylor FTW!
who does Michael Copon think he is? certainly not, Jacob Black. this Michael guy doesn’t even look like a Jacob Black!
please oh please don’t replace Taylor, because Taylor has already created the image of Jacob Black. if they get some new guy to play him, it’s just gonna ruin it!
If Taylor is replaced, then the film will loose half it’s audience. I deny watching it if Taylor is not in the film and I’m not even Team Jacob, I’m Switzerland. There’s no need to replace him. If you agree with me sign this petition: http://www.petitiononline.com/Taylor17/petition.html
And I will also protest if they replace him. Michael hasn’t even read all the books, he used cliff notes wtf?!?!?!?! I agree with everyone who says he’s cocky. I mean come on he needs to have some respect and be a little more mature. I’m not going on him and saying I hate him, but what he’s said and done just makes me strongly dislike him. In the end with all due respect to him and his fans, I don’t like him and he can’t be Jacob. NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER etc., if he even tried.
hes a bit cheeky.
i wanted taylor to be replaced, BUT NOT WITH HIM!!!
First, I’m no “Team Jacob” fan…the Twilight saga is the story of BELLA and EDWARD - not Jacob Black. That, more than anything else, should be the concern of true Twilighters. If they try to “sex” up Jake and Bella’s BEST FRIENDSHIP, then “I” will be the one howling at the moon and storming out in protest!! So, that disclaimer delivered, I have to say this MIchael Copon guy is arrogant in the worst possible way — Taylor has been classy, positive, and I think he displayed the necessary warmth, charm, and even competitive disposition in Twilight to continue on as Jacob. I’m all for Taylor staying. This Michael guy is really full of himself - and the quotes above prove it. THAT is not a Jacob Black I’d ever enjoy watching. KEEP TAYLOR.
WWWWHAAAAAAATTTT?!!!!
NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
THERE IS ROOM FOR ONE JACOB BLACK, AND ONE JACOB BLACK ONLY, AND THAT IS TAYLOR LAUTNER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TEAM TAYLOR!!! WHO THE FK DOES THIS MICHAEL GUY THINK HE IS?! HE IS NOT JACOB BLACK, I’LL TELL YOU WHAT!
NO
NO
NO
NO
NO
TAYLOR LAUTNER IS JACOB BLACK!!!!!
TEAM TAYLOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SERIOUSLY NOONE LIKES THIS MICHAEL GUY!
U GET RID OF TAYLOR AND U GET RID OF MORE THEN HALF THE FANS OF THIS MOVIE, INCLUDING ME!
and one thing that michael leaves out is that jacob has to be amazingly hot and michael looks like a fat hobo!
GOT RID OF TAYLOR AND GET RID OF THE FANS!
come on! taylor is the BEST!
he’s the perfect jacob black (L)
TEAM TAYLOR, ALWAYS!
**** him, he’s just trying to get in the whole Twilight thing. He probably hasn’t even talked to the producers or anyone of Summit at all.
I really don’t think he’ll get the part, he’s just trying to make them consider him.
*******.
