Twilight Saga star Taylor Lautner has admitted he finds the constant attention from fans “scary”.

Lautner, who plays werewolf Jacob Black, said his new found fame had made it difficult to lead a normal life.

“Absolutely it’s hard. It all depends where you choose to go,” he said.

“Movie theaters and malls aren’t the best places to go. It is [scary].”

However, the 17-year-old actor said he was also grateful to have so many loyal followers.

“It’s great to know you have all those fans and all that support behind you,” he told the Boston Globe.

“It may [frighten you] at first, but it’s their way of expressing their passion for you and the series. We’re definitely thankful to have them behind us. That’s our driving force."

Lautner and his Twilight co-stars Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart arrived in LA yesterday ahead of the premiere of New Moon.

The second installment of the vampire saga is released worldwide on November 20.
