What Taylor Lautner Joining DWTS Season 34 Would Mean For The Show
Taylor Is A Huge A-List Celebrity
Taylor is an A-list celebrity who’d bring new attention toDWTS, so his casting would mean that the show could gain a whole new audience, especially withTwilightfans. In addition, there have been rumors that Taylor’s wife, Tay,might also joinDWTS alongside him, so it would be exciting to see a married celebrity couple competing against each other.
Taylor is best known for his role as theTwilightfilm series' werewolf, Jacob Black. He’s also starred in many film and TV roles, including Dr. Cassidy Cascade inScream Queens.
Our Take On Taylor Lautner Joining DWTS
Taylor Would Be A Thrilling Addition To The Cast
Taylor is known for being a great dancer, and Derek is right that his athleticism could really help him compete onDWTS. Taylor became a black belt in karate at age 10, and was a four-time world champion by age 14. Taylor also practiced Xtreme Martial Arts.It’s disappointing to hear that there’s no truth to the rumors that he’s joining season 34because it would’ve been thrilling to see him compete on the show.
I hope that Taylor joins the cast ofa futureDWTSseasonbecause he’d be perfect for the series. Perhaps this source is just trying to throw people off by saying that he’s not competing, and then the show will surprise everyone with an announcement that he is joining the cast.Hopefully, Taylor and Tay will take theDWTSballroom by storm in the near future.
Dancing With The Starsseason 34 will air on Tuesdays at 8 p.m. EDT in fall 2025 on ABC.
