Taylor Lautner spoke about struggling to deal with fame as a teenager in a candid new interview with his friend Jason Kennedy for NBC’s “Today” show.

Lautner was thrust into the limelight at age 16 when he played werewolf Jacob Black in the “Twilight” franchise. The actor, now 29, shared, “Not many things in life can come and happen overnight.

Fame can. It also can disappear overnight. When I was 16, 17, 18 years old, waking up and trying to just go out for a walk or go on a date and I had 12 cars waiting outside my house to follow me wherever I’m going or show up to an airport or anywhere, and you have thousands of fans screaming.” READ MORE: Taylor Lautner Reveals Engagement To Longtime Girlfriend Tay Dome He went on, “In the moment, it got frustrating because you just wanted to live a normal life.

But then when that’s taken away from you at all, you start to question yourself and start to be like, ‘Oh, do people not care about me anymore?’ When it goes away a little bit, you notice it, and that’s the dangerous part, because that can mess with your mind.” Lautner, who now stars in the Netflix movie “Home Team”, admitted that he didn’t step foot inside a grocery store, movie theatre, or mall for over 10 years due to the craziness of it all.
