Alex Meraz and Taylor Lautner: Martial Arts During Free Time

Alex Meraz new Moon Paul fighting dancing

Alex Meraz, a fellow wolf pack member in New Moon with Taylor Lautner, reveals that the two put their background in martial arts to good use–in their free time, the duo perform martial arts together!

Meraz, who plays a volatile member of the wolf pack named Paul, tells us he and fellow furry friend Taylor Lautner often pass the time between shooting doing martial arts, including karate and backflips.

“The wolf pack is like brothers,” squealed Meraz, eagerly.

The crew is currently shooting in Vancouver, and Meraz says it is going “great.” He adds that the sequel, in his humble estimation, will definitely be superior to the original.

“It gets bigger, better and more exciting,” gushed Meraz.

  • lol, That was exactly what I was thinking the moment I read the title of the article above!! I'd even pay just to see that. Paul and Taylor, and there muscle-y bodies being all flexible. I know Paul is a dancer, but isn't Taylor also into dancing, wasn't he also in some dance group when he was in school or something?
  • 4thewolf
    I think Taylor took hip-hop. Ok I can barely right for laughing right now. You're killing me with the "muscley-bodies being all flexible. ROTFL
    *gets it under control*
    Men who can dance. YUM!
    ROTFL

  • Jamie30

  • TeamRotation (Meg1)
    Quite! I like the bend-y one, too. That's uh, quite some flexibility he's got there. I'm sure his wife is happy. haha.

    And did anyone else get a laugh out of Alex's quote? "The wolf pack is like brothers" Alex SQUEALED, EAGERLY. lol. That gave me a few late night giggles.
  • ooo nice and bendy...just how I like my men!!! You know he'll hit the right spot!! lmao

    Talk to you later! (:
  • IHowl2 - The ONLY Samske Girl
    4thewolf??? It was no use you telling me not to read the comments above!

    I don't know what's hotter.
    The idea of Alex and Taylor shirtless doing karate or the fact that they're actually friends.

    Alex and Taylor doing karate shirtless. Absolutely the hottest thing of the two lol

  • mrscullen
    I see all the six packs on the wolf pack. Haven't seen any pix of Rob's!! What's the deal? Isn't Rob dedicated enough to get a chiseled bod like the rest of them? Besides, Edward is supposed to show more skin in the later saga series. Or maybe Rob does have his six pack and is too shy to show it off!!! Team Edward all the way!!!
  • livethelifeyoulove(:
    OMG! they're hot!
