'Twilight: Eclipse': Taylor Lautner says he's hotter than Robert Pattinson

"Twilight: Eclipse" star Taylor Lautner was asked at the film's L.A. press conference Saturday (June 12) about the pros and cons of becoming a big star, thanks to the movie franchise.

"The privacy thing," he says. "It's usually not normal to have 12 paparazzi cars outside your house waiting to follow you to Starbucks in the morning. ... But there are more lot more pros, and I'm willing to put up with the cons."

Although it does make going bowling challenging.

More from Lautner at the press conference:

- About working with Les Grossman (aka Tom Cruise) after they did that skit at the MTV Movie Awards: "That was awesome. Working with Mr. Cruise was definitely pretty surreal," Taylor says with a grin. "Doing a movie with him would be one of my dreams."

- About the scene in "Eclipse" where he has to tell Robert Pattinson that his character, Jacob, is hotter than Rob's Edward: "That was definitely one of the lines that when I read it, I thought it would be so great and so hard to deliver with a straight face with Rob staring at me, giving me that Edward look."

- Has he personally ever been a love triangle? Maybe in elementary school. "I would not want to be in that situation for sure. I'd have to say no, like seriously."
