Taylor Lautner not becoming a personal trainer

Twilight star Taylor Lautner's representative has denied reports that the actor is studying to become a personal trainer.

Lautner, 17, had packed 30 pounds (13 kilograms) on his frame to keep his role as werewolf Jacob Black in The Twilight Saga: New Moon.

And Star magazine had reported that the former martial arts champion was set to open up his own workout centre, and even "took courses online for 200 dollars".

But Lautner's spokesperson has insisted that the actor will not be trading Hollywood for a gym full-time.

"This is not true," Contactmusic quoted the representative as saying about the reports.
