When the Twilight Saga was released, it instantly became a massive hit. All five movies in the Twilight franchise grossed over $3.3 billion. However, the character that stood out for many people was Jacob Black (played by Taylor Lautner). From his rock-hard abs to his cute boyish grin, Jacob Black had many fans drooling. Of course, much of this admiration was subsequently directed at Taylor Lautner since he played the role fans loved.
At the peak of Twilight's success, no one would have batted an eyelid if they had been asked to stake thousands of dollars on Taylor becoming one of Hollywood's most successful actors. The fame was huge, the fan love was strong, and he could only go up from there. But things didn't go as expected.
