The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon Twilight Director Catherine Hardwicke: Original Script Had Bella on "Jet Skis Being Chased by the FBI" Lautner portrayed werewolf Jacob Black in all five Twilight Saga movies, completing the series' primary love triangle opposite Stewart, 31, as Bella Swan and Robert Pattinson, 35, as Edward Cullen. Lautner — who recently made his return to film in the sports comedy Home Team, streaming now on Netflix — opened up in the latest issue of PEOPLE about his Twilight fame. Speaking about the new generation of fans who were exposed to Twilight for the first time due to the series streaming on Netflix, he said with a laugh, "Before that, to be honest, it was mainly the 'Twi-moms' that would still stop me in the streets." And now? "It's like teenagers again," Lautner shared.

"When I was 16, 17, 18 years old, waking up and trying to just go out for a walk or go on a date and I had 12 cars waiting outside my house to follow me wherever I'm going or show up to an airport or anywhere, and you have thousands of fans screaming," Lautner explained on the show. During his peak in the spotlight, the Scream Queens actor said he feared being recognized in public so much that he spent 10 years avoiding simple tasks like going to the grocery store, mall or movie theater — and it "felt like freedom " when he was finally comfortable enough to get out more. "I went so many years either not leaving my house, or if I did, hat, sunglasses, and just like, scared," Lautner said. "It built up something inside of me where, I didn't know it, but I was scared to go out. I'd get super anxious to go out. So I just didn't." Home Team is streaming now on Netflix. Close
