Taylor Lautner highlights mispronunciation of his last name, says it's 'Lowt-ner' not 'Lawt-ner'

Taylor Lautner made a recent appearance on The Unplanned Podcast with Matt & Abby. For the first time in his life, the Twilight actor took the opportunity to inform his fans that they have been mispronouncing his last name all this time.

The 31-year-old star of the Twilight saga revealed that the correct pronunciation of his surname is "Lowt-ner," contrary to the commonly used "Lawt-ner."

Lautner acknowledged that the mistake was partly his own fault, admitting, "It is my fault nobody knows how it is pronounced because I never corrected anybody for decades," Lautner explained. "I just never in interviews or anything stopped anyone and said, 'It's not Lawt-ner, it's Lowt-ner.' "

Despite the prolonged mispronunciation, Lautner expressed that he didn't view it as a significant issue. According to him, "I don't care. Laht-ner. Lawt-ner. Lowt-ner. It's all the same thing," he assured the podcast hosts.

With this clarification, fans can now update their pronunciation to reflect Taylor Lautner's preferred way of saying his last name.
