Taylor Lautner says he once wished that he’d never experienced the massive fame that came from ‘Twilight’

For Taylor Lautner, the Twilight franchise sometimes felt too successful. The screaming fans, the countless camera flashes in his face anytime he went, well, anywhere was too much for him to take while it was happening, to the point that he didn't visit a grocery store, a movie theater or a mall for 10 years. "It felt like freedom" to go back, he told Jason Kennedy on Thursday's edition of Today. "I went so many years, like, either not leaving my house, or, if I did, you know, hat, sunglasses… like, scared. It built up something inside of me where, where… I didn't know it, but I was scared to go out. I'd get super anxious to go out. So I just didn't."
