Taylor Lautner had spilled the beans over his bond with Robert Pattison on the sets of Twilight films.

In addition to maintaining distance in real life, the duo’s characters in the movie too had a rivalry going on over who would end up with Bella Swan.
In his December 2023 interview, the actor clarified that none of them had any bad blood against the other one and often would sit together in a group to have a conversation, but from a one-on-one perspective, they would rather go different paths.
The Grown Ups 2 actor shared with the podcast host, "I think it was tough.” He added, "I don't know for him, but for me at least it definitely—especially at the age I was at—you get your feelings hurt sometimes when you shouldn't. But it's hard not to sometimes."
Lautner went on to reveal that it was “awkward” for both actors to stand at the balcony, where the girls would boo at Taylor and cheer for Pattison. He went on to state that with the situation going on, it was difficult to have a friendship.
However, Lautner believes, "The thing with me and Rob is we're just very, very different people,” but “he was always fantastic and the sweetest person ever."
