Taylor Lautner must have been tired of standing around, waiting for Kirsten Stewart to decide between him and Robert Pattinson in the Twilight movies. In his new flick, Abduction, the wunderkind seemingly tackles every stunt under the sun, from crazy driving to gunplay to smashing through anything breakable.

Ripped abs? OK, impressive. Jump kicking a dude through a window while shouting something about your lost identity? That’s heroism.

The latest TV spot for the movie injects 50cc’s of adrenaline directly into your brain, with Lautner teaming up with Sigourney Weaver (Ghostbusers, Avatar) to take down an extremely pissy Alfred Molina (Prince of Persia, Law & Order: LA). This movie isn’t giving you the time to even think about Robert Pattinson

To say Taylor Lautner is a busy guy these days is a massive understatement. In addition to promoting both of “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn” films, the first of which will be released in November, the actor is starring in a real thriller in this September’s “Abduction.”

So, does Lautner even get an down time these days?

“If I’m not filming, I’m promoting, and if it wasn’t ‘Twilight,’ it was a different movie, so it got really busy,” Lautner told VMAN magazine about his crazy rise to fame. “But yeah, no, I, you know, I hang out with my friends, family, and kind of just – I don’t even know. It’s like, when I am not filming, it seems like – I don’t even know what I do.”

Now that his official filming duties for “The Twilight Saga” are over, Lautner can focus on other projects, but he credits his fellow cast members with helping him learn the ropes of Hollywood — and keeping him sane.

“It was really helpful that all of us were going through the same thing at the same time,” he said. “I think if we didn’t have that sort of relationship it would have been tough. It would have felt pretty lonely. Because when you are filming for these ‘Breaking Dawn’ movies, we were filming for seven months — and if you’re there alone the whole time even with the cast members, like on a day off, or on weekends, you’d go nuts.”

Even though he isn’t really the wolf he plays in the “Twilight” movies, fans sometimes have a hard time separating fiction from real life — something Lautner has has to deal with since the first film came out in 2008.

“Its definitely these characters we are playing. They are in love with Bella Swan, Edward Cullen, and Jacob Black. I mean, they feel like they know them. We are just lucky enough to be playing them. But I definitely think its the characters.”

As for “Abduction,” Lautner finds himself a long way from Jacob, Edward and Bella.

“I call it an action-drama-thriller-romance, I mean it’s got everything in it,” he said at the VMAs, adding that there’s an “intense, intense steamy scene” between him and co-star Lily Collins.

Over the years, there have been many, many rumors concerning what Taylor Lautner might get involved with next. The latest is, for now, just that. A so-called suggestion.

According to Twitch, there is current, on-going buzz concerning the possibility that Taylor Lautner might star opposite The Rock in a Hollywood rendition of the Biblical tale of David and Goliath.

If you’re going to tell the story of the giant versus the shepherd boy you’d best find yourself an impressive giant and it would appear that Relativity have done just that with sources telling Twitch that they are now in talks with Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson to fill the role. As for the other side of the standoff things are not as advanced but word is that an offer has been made to Taylor Lautner to fill the part of David, which comes as no surprise given that Twilight producers Marty Bowen and Wyck Godfrey are also involved in this project.

Now, the association of Bowen and Godfrey with the film does add some merit to the possibility. Those two probably love Taylor Lautner and all-things-Twilight, so it wouldn’t be surprising to hear they may want to bring him in to another of their films. On the other hand, it’s far too early to tell whether this has become a sealed deal.

Still, the possibility that he could face-off with The Rock is probably a pretty exciting one for Taylor Lautner, who unquestionably wants to continue on in the action film scene.

Also, though Lautner is well-muscled and nothing close to small, in comparison to The Rock, he would look rather like a David.

Your thoughts on this potential development?

This month’s Total Film features an hunktastic shoot with Abduction star Taylor Lautner, and we’ve got an online exclusive image below.

We caught up with Lautner in LA to discuss his leap to action movie stardom with Abduction.

With his legions of squealing fans, Lautner has the teen idol/lust object bit down pat, but will he convince as an action man?

He certainly has some lofty aspirations, telling us, “The most important thing I did with John [Singleton – director] was sit down beforehand and watch a lot of movies and study actors that I look up to.”

“We studied Tom Cruise in Minority Report, Harrison Ford, Matt Damon, Denzel Washington…”

When we asked if he was actively looking to inherit their gig, he replied: “That would be an honour, to be compared to people like that. I look up to Tom Cruise and Matt Damon.

“I would kill to have the careers they’ve had…”

Definitely loving this video from E! Online, this is the same interviewer from Comic-Con who told Taylor he had a “Bieber” Outfit! So that’s what that inside joke is about, Taylor also talks about what he’s excited for from the VMAs, going to Mexico for Abduction Promotion (leaving sometime today), not being able to drive his car so much, his LOVE for Australia he calls it his “Favorite Place on Earth”, and something about him playing Nathan in Abduction.

We managed to catch this in the repeat of the Video Music Awards! We wish we were able to get the one on Teen Nick during Thursday night’s Degrassi where Karen (Lily Collins) said “What’s this I hear about you waking up in your underwear?” and Nathan (Taylor Lautner) goes “That’s not true, I had pants on.”
