Michael Copon the Next Jacob Black? Hollywire Exclusive: Michael Sets the Record Straight

Posted on December 17, 2008 - 7:44pm by Cindy

So, we just so happened to run into Michael Copon and his publicist Steve at Katsuya in Hollywood last night. While we felt a bit rude for interrupting their dinner, how could we possibly have passed up this opportunity? We HAD to ask him about all the rumors swirling through Hollywood about him portraying Jacob Black in the next Twilight film: New Moon. Michael was a good sport and he gave us the low-down on all the rumors. Watch & enjoy! (Oh, and in case you're wondering, that's 'Albacore with Crispy Onions' that he's munching down on--delish!)

Well, there you have it straight from the source. What do you think? Is Michael Copon the right man for the role of Jacob Black? Should Summit Entertainment cast him? You know we think he's a hottie and can pull it off! But it looks like Taylor Lautner is beating out Michael in an online poll started by MTV for the next Jacob. Hurry and vote here, so our boy Michael wins!

I for one think he's a nice guy but I don't want him as Jacob Black. Taylor has done all the groundwork,promoted and built up his fanbase. He's toured the world doing so much promotion. He was so darn great as Jacob. Hey, he made this Team Edward gal love Jacob Black. I so hope he stays on. I for one along with so many others will be really upset if the role does not stay with him.

Team Taylor all the way
