Remember when Taylor Lautner was the abs-forward werewolf in those movies your middle school crush wouldn’t shut up about?
Well, he’s back in the news, and this time it’s not about his shirtless scenes or his brief, beautiful relationship with Taylor Swift.
It’s about a business venture that’s raising eyebrows and, frankly, a few red flags.
Lautner recently announced he’s launching a supplement line.
Yes, another celebrity is selling you pills.
Because apparently the market for overpriced vitamins wasn’t saturated enough by every Kardashian, every Bachelor contestant, and that one guy from *The Hills* you forgot existed.
But sure, let’s hear what the wolf boy has to say.
In a glossy Instagram video that looked like an ad for a fitness app you’ll delete after three days, Lautner explained his “journey” to wellness.
He talked about gut health, energy levels, and how he wanted to “give back” to fans.
Translation: he wanted a cut of the $50 billion wellness industry.
Nothing wrong with that, but let’s not pretend this is charity.
Lautner has been open about his struggles with body image and the pressure to stay shredded after *Twilight*.
Most of us aren’t getting paid to take our shirts off, but we do obsess over carbs and step counts.
So when he pivots from actor to wellness guru, it feels less like a cash grab and more like a coping mechanism with a checkout page.
But the internet, as always, had thoughts.
Twitter/X users immediately dug up old interviews where Lautner admitted he doesn’t even like working out that much.
Reddit threads titled “AITA for thinking this is a scam?” popped up faster than you can say “Team Jacob.” One top comment read, “Bro peaked at 17 and is now selling chia seeds.
Not because they’re poison, but because they’re just… unnecessary.
You don’t need a $70 powder from a guy who played a werewolf to fix your digestion.
You need fiber, water, and maybe a hobby that isn’t doomscrolling.
But that doesn’t sell as well on Instagram.
He’s a former teen heartthrob trying to stay relevant in a world that stopped caring about his abs around 2012.
And if you buy his product, you’re not a victim either.
You’re just someone who really wants to believe that Sharkboy can solve your bloating.
Just don’t come crying to Reddit when your wallet is lighter and your gut feels exactly the same.
Some things never change, and neither does the celebrity supplement playbook. **Opinion:** Lautner seems like a decent guy who got chewed up by Hollywood and is now trying to monetize the only thing he has left: nostalgia.
But nostalgia doesn’t cure indigestion, and a six-pack from 2009 doesn’t qualify anyone to give health advice.
Final Thoughts
Save your money, and maybe rewatch *Twilight* instead.
