Taylor Lautner is setting the record straight about something you may not have even realized was a mistake: how to pronounce his name.
âIt is my fault that nobody knows how itâs actually pronounced because I never corrected anybody for decades,â he shared on the July 5 episode of âThe Unplanned Podcast.â âIt is technically Lowt-ner.â
The âTwilightâ star, 31, who made headlines earlier this month by appearing in Taylor Swiftâs music video for âI Can See You (Taylorâs Version) (From The Vault)â and doing backflips while joining the superstar singer on stage during the Kansas City stop on her âEras Tour,â takes the blame for the error, too.
âI just never, in interviews or anything, stopped somebody and said, âItâs not Lawt-ner. Itâs Lowt-ner.â Just go with whatever,â he said.
Lautner can take some solace knowing heâs in good company when it comes to celebrities whose names people mispronounce.
Lautner was a child actor who says he was too shy to tell people they were mispronouncing his name. In the end, though, he is not consumed with what people call him.
