Next week, Stephenie Meyer’s blockbuster novel, Eclipse, will be released on the silver screen.
Throngs of teenage girls will crowd movie theaters across the country, hoping to get a glimpse of Taylor Lautner’s abs.
Ok, ok. Not only teenage girls. Perhaps teenage girls, twenty-somethings, and pretty much any female.
Judging by the screen time his abs got in New Moon, I’m sure there will be many, many chances for us all.
But once upon a time, Taylor Lautner, who plays werewolf Jacob Black in the movie adaptations of the best-selling Twilight Saga, was a normal teenager.
He attended high school and even posed for features in the yearbook.
A few months ago, I got my hands on a copy of his 2008 yearbook — he was a sophomore.
Can you pick him out from the masses of sophomores?
That’s him, spiky hair and all.
The book features a spread on popular fashion among the students.
Taylor is one of four students featured, along with a faculty member.
Even back then, he had that confident, not-quite-cocky stance we’ve all come to know and love in Jacob Black.
He appears on only two pages in the book — his portrait page and the fashion spread.
Wasn’t he such a cutie?
I don’t know about you, but I’m glad he grew up…

How did you get that! LOL
This is so funny! How did you acquire this yearbook?!
First off, yes, you are a nerd.
Second off, it's okay, because I am too.
Third….That yearbook looks like it's pretty cool! Is it really as good as it seems?
Fourth—I'm guessing you got this through your "sweet" connections through Taylor?
Haha, Christy – you are right.
Brenna, I work for the yearbook company who publishes the book. It was among our extras. 🙂
This is too funny! I can't wait for the movie! Thanks for stopping by my blog today.
a 2010 graduate? ugh, I feel really old now.
