Who says there’s no benefit in going topless? Taylor Lautner, whose ribbed abs are the object of desire for many an American teen, has now eclipsed every teen star in young Hollywood by becoming the highest-paid teen actor in Tinseltown.
The Twilight star is pulling in $7.5 million for his next movie, Northern Lights, where he’ll reportedly star alongside Tom Cruise, according to Nikki Finke’s DeadlineHollywood.com.
The movie will reportedly tell the tale of “a gifted, young, aerobatics pilot who faces off with his controlling, billionaire father and falls in love with a gifted, female pilot.”
Taylor, who turns 18 in February, has also signed on to become Paramount’s next big action hero in the upcoming blockbuster Max Steel. In addition, Armani is expected to announce Taylor as the official face and body of its Emporio Armani underwear collection next month.
