Taylor Lautner Makes $ Like Tom Cruise
Team Jacob? More like Bank of Jacob. Reports are rampant today that Taylor Lautner (Thanks to Twilight, New Moon and …Eclipse!) will be the highest paid teen actor….AFTER he gets $paid$ for his upcoming role in Northern Lights with Tom Cruise.
Lautner — who helped New Moon earn $288 million in just seven weeks in theaters — will reportedly earn $7.5 million for the upcoming film.
Northern Lights, which is set to begin filming in April, is about “a gifted young aerobatics pilot who faces off with his controlling billionaire father and falls in love with a gifted female pilot.”Lautner has also been announced to play the starring role in the action-heavy Max Steel, which is based on the Mattel toy line and comic book.
Still, Lautner won’t become the highest paid teen of all time. Such stars as Daniel Radcliffe, 20, and Macauley Culkin, 29, have been high earners while they were in their teenage years. (Radcliffe earned $11 million for Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire in 2005 when he was 16, and Culkin made $8 million for 1994’s Richie Rich when he was 14.)
Fine he won’t be the highest paid teen of ALL time, but he will be the hottest, highest paid teen actor of all time.
