Twilight's Taylor Lautner is a macho motorcycle man

Taylor Lautner swapped his shirtless werewolf alter ego that made him famous for a new character while filming Abduction in Pittsburgh.

The Twilight beefcake is filming the new action thriller in the US and stars as a young man who sets out to uncover the truth about his life after finding his baby photo on a missing persons’ website.

Lautner, 18, seemed to enjoy the new role as he got to cruise around on a bright orange Aprilia motorcycle for most of the day.

To get into character, the tanned actor drove around the set in mirrored aviator sunglasses, jeans and a black jacket.

Unfortunately his busy schedule means the heartthrob won’t have as much time for his promotional duties for Eclipse, but at least young fans will have a new film to drool over him in.
