You guys are getting a double dose of FAUXtoshop fakery today! In Photoshop Faker circles, one of the MOST requested male celebs (at least since he aged out of the jailbait category) is Taylor Lautner. Longtime readers may remember my amusement at the number of images that popped up over at the JustUsBoys Forum using the first headshot taken after his 18th birthday. A few of those even made the final cut into Taylor Launter’s CELEBRITY FAUXTOSHOP Gallery. I just must like his style because again Sol (a.k.a. Horny4JaredPadalecki) has the most images.
I’ve collected these images from a number of male celeb fake sites, they are NOT my own work. As always I’ve included the name of the artist in the caption if I could identify them. If you recognize someone’s work, PLEASE leave a comment with the image # and name of artist. THANKS!
This gallery has been added to the CELEBRITY FAUXTOSHOP index.
Of these following 4 male celebs, who should be the next to be featured in a gallery of images that imagine what they might look like naked… Next up nominees are Chris Evans (Captain America: First Avenger, The Losers, Fantastic Four, Push), Jared Padalecki (Supernatural), Ryan Reynolds (Green Lantern, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Paper Man) and last but not least Taylor Lautner (Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse). If you had to pick one to imagine starkers, who is it? And if you like ANY of the choices… rate this post. That’s what those stars under EVERY headline are for!
Nominees are chosen base on the number of faked images available of that particular star. More will be added as enough images surface to fill my OCD gallery layout. I’m currently gathering images for all the hunks featured in Celebrity Beekcake, and more. If any of you fakers out there take requests… how about some fakes of Chris Hemsworth, Zachary Quinto and Chris Pine so I can include them in the next poll?
A GUEST REVIEW FROM FROGBOY (A FRIEND OF FANBOI): Greetings! I’m Frogboy; a graphic artist and longtime friend of HnH and QueerSupe’s site proprietor, Fanboi. We both share a love of toys and action figures, but usually in different areas. I’ve been waiting for the release of this little guy since seeing the prototype photo last year. Now he’s out and here’s my review. Hope to be doing more of these in the future.
The second wave of Twilight: New Moon figures are out and I just got my hands on the most anticipated selection, the iconic shirtless inaction figure of actor Taylor Lautner as Jacob Black. Early photography of the prototype looked stunning, the actual figure is a little less so, yet still attractive. The articulation is limited to his head and feet. The arms are added separately, but remain glued in place to help maintain the sculptural integrity.
Click the pic of the unopened figure to buy the figure at Fanboi’s Amazon store over at QueerSUPE. Click on the Jacob Black photo or the turnaround to see them fullsize.
There’s a little airbrushing on the torso and his nipples are dotted with color. The character’s trademark abs are definitely present, but this likeness isn’t quite as chiseled and cut as Jacob appears in the motion picture. The jeans and shoes have the amount of detail collectors have come to expect from NECA.
It’s hard to imagine Lautner without his big toothy-white grin these days, but the Jacob mostly scowls in the film as he does here on the figure. The paint apps are particularly fine, yet his eyes look a little on the Asian side. By the way, has anyone pinned down the mysterious ethnicity of Taylor Lautner? The facial likeness looks best at an angle or in profile than head-on. We’ve been seeing this beautiful mug on posters and billboards for a year now, you’d think the sculptor at NECA would get this spot-on.
I predict this to be one of the iconic action figures to define this era in pop culture. Even though the Lautner is a sexier fellow than depicted here, NECA’s series two shirtless Jacob Black figure is definitely worth getting before the price goes up.
Altogether I’d give this figure 3.75 out of 5 stars.
Which is good, because from his monologue, New Moon’s hot wolf cub Taylor Lautner is not really a natural comedian. Though in his defense – this was NOT great material. Lautner’s football and show choir sketches were just unfunny. The Edward vs Jacob argument was amusing.
The funniest sketches were unfortunately Lautnerless… the PGA Tour’s new No Tiger No Problem campaign makes me laugh just thinking about it… and Weekend Update had its moments as usual (with the exception of the painfully long reservation stand up bit – ouch). I think SNL should have a limit of just 1 sketch per show about laughing at someone performing badly.
I saw New Moon the other day. Urge to see his bod and the FX won out. It was a good popcorn movie and perhaps a better movie than a book as it seemed to spend a lot less time focusing on Bella’s angsty emo misery. I could have used more wolf pack time. We’ll see more of him in the next 2 movies which I’m sure they’ll push out at top speed to get them in theatres while people are still interested.
The New Moon toy line has been released and is available at Amazon, but no word on this shirtless action figure of Taylor Lautner as wolf-boy hottie Jacob Black. I hope they haven’t decided not to release it.
This has to be the hottest action figure I’ve seen in awhile. Fingers crossed it isn’t too gay for shelves. If you have the scoop on when/if it will see the light of day, let’s hear it!
which is gayer… Jacob the shirtless wolfboy… or Gay Bob from 1977?
Too bad Jacob Black doesn’t come anatomically correct (and life size).
Losing the Prop 8 vote in large part to the direct influence of the out of state Morman political machine left a lot of LGBT Californians with unresolved anger. At the time there was a lot of talk of LGBT boycotts of Mormon business but I hadn’t heard as much about it until recently.
As with its predecessor Twilight, The impending release of New Moon has some calling for a boycott of the film (which is based upon a book by a “devout” Mormon writer and the books are chock full of Mormon ideals) others raving about Jacob’s (Taylor Lautner) amazing abs and the rest generally just don’t care. I’m torn, and haven’t decide yet which camp I’m in, but thought I’d open it to debate. But I have to remind you no matter how hot he is, the boy is jailbait until February 11 2010, so so no fauxtoshopping and set your countdowns now.
So is YOUR anger at an organized religion interfering in an out-of-state political process stronger than the lustful desire to watch the sinewy 30 pounds of muscle that Jacob (Taylor Lautner) put in in action while he runs with the rest of his shirtless pack.
Now I will say that I read the series and while some of the ideas about the vampire mythos were interesting and include a rich history with great story potential, the books themselves were not particularly well written and the peppering with Mormonism is hamfisted. So with very little of Edward (Rober Pattinson), aside from young Mr. Lautner and his shirtless wolfpack, I’m not sure what else New Moon has to offer.
The trailer for the second movie in the four book Twilight saga is out, and boy does wolfboy Jacob Black look good. He is Taylor Lautner and if he looks different, it is because he put on 30 pounds of muscle between the films to bring the characters drastic transformation to life. Here’s a more few shots of him.
