The 22-year-old actor - who whipped off his shirt at every opportunity when playing werewolf Jacob Black in the vampire movie series - was topless while filming scenes for his latest flick Run The Tide in Los Angeles on Tuesday.
Taylor hit the beach in just a pair of blue board shorts and showed he hasn't let himself go since bulking up for Twilight and its sequels.
Lautner's fans will no doubt be thrilled with the latest pictures of the topless hunk and excited to see him take on a new challenge.
Run The Tide sees him play a man who kidnaps his younger brother and takes him to California after their drug-addict mother is released from prison.
When she tries to reunite her family, the brothers hit the road with her in hot pursuiit.
Soham Mehta is directing from a script by Rajiv Shah, and they are both producing along with Tim Kwok.
