Hollywood actor Taylor Lautner was left with body image issues after starring in the Twilight franchise. The actor, 30, spent his formative years playing the shapeshifter Jacob Black in the series of vampire films based on the books by Stephanie Meyer.

Lautner explained that he was later “affected” by having to appear shirtless so often on screen. He said, “When I was 16 through 20 years old, I was starring in this franchise where my character is known for taking his shirt off every other second. No, I did not know that it was affecting me or that it was going to affect me in future with body image [issues]. In the first movie, I was 140 lbs and in New Moon I was 175, so that wasn’t my natural body. And I had to work hard just to maintain it.”
