Taylor Lautner: Fire Hydrant Hop

Jacob Be Nimble, Jacob Be Quick!

A jumpy Taylor Lautner tests out if he can jump over a red fire hydrant in the streets of Vancouver on a rainy Monday afternoon (May 11).

The 17-year-old New Moon actor successfully leaped over it!

Before Twilight came along, Taylor starred in The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl 3-D. What does director Robert Rodriguez think of Taylor now?

Rodriguez told MTV, saying, “He was the first actor we saw for Sharkboy and Lavagirl and we picked him right off. He was the first actor who came in, and we knew he was the guy. It’s no surprise to me that he was going to go on to great things.”
