My Take
Taylor Lautner earns my respect for sheer discipline. A martial artist from age six, he famously rebuilt his physique in months to keep the role of Jacob Black — a teenager essentially fighting for his own job, and winning. Twilight made him one of the most visible young actors alive, and the inevitable cooldown afterward could have soured him; instead he seems to have made peace with fame's strange tides, choosing lighter projects and a quieter life. I find that trajectory healthier and more interesting than another burnout story. The Michigan kid grew up sane, which in Hollywood may be the rarest achievement of all.
