Before They Were Stars: 11-Year Old Taylor Lautner Performs Karate on ESPN

Before he broke into acting, Taylor Lautner spent much of his youth studying karate and earned his black belt by the age of eight. He won numerous karate championships and competed in the 2003 International Sport Karate Association U.S. Open, which was broadcast on ESPN. What else can I say? Even at the age of eleven, the guy just could not keep his god damn shirt on! And far be it for me to pretend to give a shit about anything that happens in Twilight, but Bella… seriously, why wouldn’t you choose the dude who got a black belt when he was eight years old?!
