Edi Gathegi, who will reprise the role of Laurent in the upcoming Twilight sequel
New Moon, told reporters that he's glad Taylor Lautner managed to keep his job as Jacob.
"Yeah, I'm very happy with Taylor," Gathegi said in a group interview on Saturday in Westwood, Calif., where he was promoting My Bloody Valentine 3-D. "I was with him last night. I always believed in that kid, because it didn't make sense to me why they wouldn't think that he can play it, the fans or whoever. Also, it's a misconception. He's always, he was signed on, just like we all were, for all of them, or for the movies that we're supposed to be in. So he's playing it, obviously."
