Photos: Taylor Lautner is buff and brooding for Rolling Stone
Famed photographer Mark Seliger shot the 17-year-old, who plays a beefed-up Jacob Black in "The Twilight Saga: New Moon," in Malibu.
Howling hotness ensues, and in the magazine's cover story Lautner touches on his potential love interest (a fellow Taylor).
“Aside from being beautiful, she’s extremely funny, charismatic and fun to be around,” Lautner said of country crooner Taylor Swift.
So are they dating? Sly wolf Lautner simply responded, "Possibly."
The two costar in Garry Marshall's forthcoming ensemble pic "Valentine's Day" and have been seen on several dates since meeting on set.
Get more of Seliger's smokin' Taylor shots after the jump!

May I just say that the 17 year old boys do NOT look like this where I come from. He is too hot for his own good! Thank the bejeezus he will be 18 come February, a lot of women in the 25+ age bracket will be breathing a sigh of relief (myself included)!!

When Hanna Montana or some other teen girl poses in a similar sexually provocative way, outrage about exploitation follows. When a pre-18 boy does it, we sit here, nod approval and drool.
