Taylor Lautner: ‘It's Like I'm Living Two Lives’

Taylor Lautner is just as happy sitting at his parents quiet suburban home as he is on a Hollywood red carpet.
The 19-year-old actor, best known for playing werewolf Jacob Black in the Twilight series, said he enjoys being out of the Tinseltown spotlight when he's at his parents Santa Clarita, Calif. home -- about 30 miles north of Los Angeles.
"I live outside of Los Angeles," he told Total Film magazine. "It's quiet and nice. My family and friends keep me grounded. I do go out with my friends and do normal things...it's like I'm living two lives.”
Lautner said: "I live my normal side that I've always had, and then there's the new business life and everything that comes with that."
The hunky actor appears to be maximizing family time since he hasn’t been linked to a gal pal since Taylor Swift and pop singer Selena Gomez in 2009.
The Abduction star also believes he owes a chunk of his success to his loved ones.
"When I can take a step back and imagine myself without the support system of my family and my parents, the people around me...that's kind of spooky," he said. "I don't know where I would be today without them."
