There is no denying that Taylor Lautner has a noticeable name. And no, not mainly because he’s been romantically concerned with ladies who also share his initial title. The actor is a unforgettable face in Twilight, the apple-clad franchise that had adolescents fawning about crystallized vampires and appealing werewolves. While lovers have been privy to his wolf moniker, it looks that simply cannot be mentioned for Lautner’s real title. A short while ago, the actor uncovered that followers have been mispronouncing his final title for *many years.* Very well, locas— this is uncomfortable.

On July 5, Lautner and his wife (hilariously, also named Taylor Lautner) appeared on The Unplanned Podcast With Matt & Abby. Following the couple shared they use pet names to relaxed the confusion driving obtaining the same alias, host Abby asked about the pronunciation of his past identify.

“It is technically ‘Lowt-ner,’” he claimed. “It’s my fault nobody is aware of how it’s essentially pronounced due to the fact I under no circumstances corrected any person for many years. I just by no means — in interviews or nearly anything — stopped any person and stated, ‘It’s not ‘Laut-ner.’ It is ‘Lowt-ner.’”

The previous title mishap astonished the hosts, particularly Matt. He then requested if Lautner hesitated to speak up about the a long time-extensive mispronunciation because he commenced performing at a younger age. “Yeah, I consider when I was 11, immediately after [starring] in Sharkboy And Lavagirl, I was not going to explain to persons they have been saying my identify mistaken,” he lightheartedly explained.

Very similar to Matt’s expression, many consumers in the feedback section had been shocked in the shipping and delivery of Lautner’s very last name. One particular person wrote, “The way my jaw dropped,” even though a different teasingly realized their whole existence has been a lie, declaring: “I’m 23 and just acquiring this out, I’m baffled.” A lot of users disclosed they’ve been precisely pronouncing his name, and seemed bewildered that many others were saying it in a different way.

This isn’t the initially time Lautner has additional emphasis to his past identify. In February 2022, the actor spoke with E! Information about the Gen Z-coded argument that stylistically, facet parts aren’t the go, and that he has a soft location for middle areas. Though introducing himself, he pronounced ‘Laut’ so that it rhymed with ‘out.’ Obviously, this moment fell beneath the radar.

Now, with his recent appearance on The Unplanned Podcast, it seems the pronunciation of his very last identify will stick with supporters.
