First love - Had first contact with martial arts at the age of 7 and was encouraged to pursue this for the following years. At 8 he was invited to represent the USA in the World Karate Association, where he got the Junior World Forms and Weapons championship with 3 gold medals.
Second love - His martial arts teacher, working also in the entertainment area, encouraged him to try this one too. He had some failed attempts at the beginning but enjoyed it so much that he asked his parents to support him in this. Family decided to move to LA in order to be closer to opportunities.
Twilight series - He auditioned for the movie in 2008 and got the part of Jacob Black, but had to put some muscles on the bones, which got him an extra 30 lbs. But he was also named one of People Magazine's 100 Most Beautiful People, for 2009 and a top position in Access Hollywood's "Top Five Hollywood Abs".
Got the moves - Besides acting and sports, he loves to move. The flexibility from his martial arts years sure proved useful, as seen in photos and he even has a youtube clip for the Apologize song. He is also linked to L.A. Hip Kids and Hot Shots dance groups.
Plan B - Doesn't need one for sure, judging by his growing success in acting. However he would have probably had a great success as a sportsman too. He loves football and baseball

"It is a little awkward for me to watch myself and, actually, when we're filming those scenes."
"The quote I love the most is Jacob's quote: 'Does my half being naked bother you?' That quote just cracks me up. Because, you know, that's when he's shirtless, not wearing a top."
"To growl. I'm asked that by a lot by fans, and I don't like doing that. So, fans, please don't ask me that. Wait for the movie!"
