Twilight hottie Taylor Lautner could have missed being in Twilight because he was also auditioning for a role in the remake of the musical film Fame! Luckily Taylor never got his role in Fame! Otherwise what would we do without our hunky werewolf Jacob Black?

Lautner was auditioning for Fame with actress Keke Palmer at the same time as he was trying out for Twilight.

Keke told M magazine: “We were both up for roles in the movie, and we both didn’t get parts. He wouldn’t have been able to do Twilight if he did Fame, so I’m happy he lost out.” – via JSYK

Don’t forget to catch our hunky werewolf, Taylor as Jacob Black in the Twilight Saga: New Moonin theaters on November 20th.
