We've already had a peek at what Robert Pattinson looked like as a wee one, so it's only fair to Team Jacob that we look at young Taylor Lautner too. He's still only a teenager, but here's a glimpse of what Taylor looked like as a high-schooler in Valencia, CA in 2008. He had a passion for performing in his pre-Twilight days, but Taylor looks different now — especially after bulking up for New Moon. Did you happen to go to school with someone who's now a star?

Thing is, this likely isnt *that* long ago.
1I dont believe for one second that his "bulking up" was all natural. Thats laughable
The was what he looked like during Twilight...and missyd, it is entirely possible that Taylor just became that buff by working out A LOT. I had a friend who went off to college as an incredibly scrawny eighteen year-old kid and came back even more buff than Taylor...and he did it all without the help of professionals that Taylor has.
2Missyd, leaner guys who bulk up so quickly can do it naturally by increasing calories and protein, in addition to working out religiously.
3well i remember him as the sharkboy in the movie the adventures of sharkboy and lavagirl. he was pretty young then
4I can't look at him without seeing Sharkboy... kind of ruins it ...
5He's changed a lot since 2008!
6He's hot - of course - though I'm more Team Edward than Team Jacob.
He was so ugly... he IS so ugly...
7yah, he looked like a shaved baby bear then, looks like a shaved baby bear now.
8Teen boys change over night. My son decided he wanted to shape up a little bit and after just a few months of eating less junk and working out with weights 3 days a week he looks like a totally different kid. Not muscle bound or super buff, but like an athlete instead of a kid who plays video games all day. Teens have great metabolisms, so when they make an effort it really pays off quick. It's why 16 year old girls can lose five pounds in a week by giving up french fries and Coke and their mom has to run on a treadmill for an hour and a half every day just to stay out of the plus size department!
9he's so average.........except for the muscle
10My brother claims they went to the same junior high, I guess I can't really doubt it too much since he is from the same town I am. I remember when sharkboy and lavagirl came out so many girls were freaking out that he lived in our town hahaha. He's cute, but I dont think I could ever be team jacob, he looks too much like a baby to me. He has too much of a sweet face, not that it's a bad thing.
11wow only last year and he looks soo different! dang! thats crazy!
12he's adorable..
13He did cycles of juice. Open your eyes. It's not possible to put 30lbs of muscle on in 6 months
14He did not do steroids. Some of you are completely sad, picking on a 17 yeaqr old kid. Disgusting. Sad, pathetic, overweight women picking on a kid.
15soo cute!
16He is adorable and not at all looking like the walking dead that Robert is looking like; and that's not even when he IS playing a vampire.
17I remember reading an interview that he did bulk up 30lbs in a like 6 months.
18Also, if this is his 2008 yearbook picture, it is likely that the picture was taken in September 2007.
to me he is still dam fucxin hot
19He's still average.
20it is weird that his upper half is always shorter than his lower half, which makes him look even shorter
21just the clothes maybe?
He was so cute and wholesome looking! I think his parents still have say in what he does...and I'm not buying the steroids idea. He's hot now....and I'm ready for that baby look to disappear entirely....he's gonna be a hell of a hottie when he's 20-something!
22He.. looks just the same. He squints more now, though.
23well, he's better looking than that ugly robert pattinson.
24I can't look at him without seeing Sharkboy either!! LMAO .. but he's still really hot..
25although i am a total Robert pattinson freak,i have to admit that taylor is really cute.i would want to have friends as good looking as him.
26GASP! A nobody was once a nobody??!! Surely, you jest.
27TEAM TAYLOR!
