Taylor lautner recreates twilight meme with jimmy fallon: 'where the hell have you been, loca? '

Jacob Black is taking over _The Tonight Show_! Taylor Lautner channeled his _Twilight _heartthrob character on Friday's episode of the late-night talk show, joining host Jimmy Fallon

for a throwback to the wildly popular vampire fantasy film saga. The scene opens with Fallon, 47, seemingly enthralled in reading the first _Twilight_ novel, before Lautner, 29, walks in and

jubilantly says, "Jimmy! Where the hell have you been, loca?!" The hilarious moment is a nod to _The Twilight Saga: New Moon_ scene that has become a viral meme on TikTok, when

Lautner's character Jacob asks Kristen Stewart's character, "Bella! Where the hell have you been, loca?!" before picking her up and spinning her around. After Fallon

notes to his guest about the weather, "It's brutal out there today, huh?", Lautner responds with a wink, "Oh, yeah. It's a cold one." _NEVER MISS A STORY — SIGN

werewolf Jacob Black in all five _Twilight_ Saga movies, completing the series' primary love triangle opposite Stewart, 31, as Bella Swan and Robert Pattinson, 35, as Edward Cullen.

Lautner — who recently made his return to film in the sports comedy _Home Team_, streaming now on Netflix — opened up in the latest issue of PEOPLE about his _Twilight_ fame. Speaking about

the new generation of fans who were exposed to _Twilight _for the first time due to the series streaming on Netflix, he said with a laugh, "Before that, to be honest, it was mainly the

'Twi-moms' that would still stop me in the streets." And now? "It's like teenagers again," Lautner shared. RELATED VIDEO: MACKENZIE FOY REFLECTS ON HER

_TWILIGHT _DAYS AND REVEALS WHICH FORMER CO-STAR MAKES HER "FEEL CALM" In an interview with _Today_ that aired Thursday, the actor admitted he struggled with fame and was

"scared" to leave the house after the initial smash success of _Twilight_. "When I was 16, 17, 18 years old, waking up and trying to just go out for a walk or go on a date and

I had 12 cars waiting outside my house to follow me wherever I'm going or show up to an airport or anywhere, and you have thousands of fans screaming," Lautner explained on the

show. During his peak in the spotlight, the _Scream Queens_ actor said he feared being recognized in public so much that he spent 10 years avoiding simple tasks like going to the grocery

store, mall or movie theater — and it "felt like freedom " when he was finally comfortable enough to get out more. "I went so many years either not leaving my house, or if I

did, hat, sunglasses, and just like, scared," Lautner said. "It built up something inside of me where, I didn't know it, but I was scared to go out. I'd get super anxious

to go out. So I just didn't." _Home Team_ is streaming now on Netflix.
