Taylor Dooley Talks About Taylor Lautner(video)

Celebuzz spoke exclusively with the starlet, best-known as half of The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl alongside Twilight beefcake Taylor Lautner, well before his watershed moment in time.

Dooley was also cool enough to share a moment of ridicule she endured while filming the movie�s kissing scene, where she and Lautner shared a smooch.

�I kiss Sharkboy on the cheek in the movie, and it was my first on screen kind of kiss on the cheek thing. So Robert [Rodriguez] (the director) embarrassed me by saying, �Oh it�s going to be green screen so you don�t actually have to kiss Taylor. You can kiss this wooden pole.� So he wrapped this wooden pole in green tape, made me say my lines and kiss the wooden pole like it was Taylor. I was like, �Alright cool. Let�s do this.��

After several takes, Rodriguez instructed Dooley to �really stay there a long time and kiss the pole. Then he was like, �Alright now bring in Taylor.� Everybody in the crew just started cracking up laughing, and Taylor was just laughing so hard. My face was so funny. They knew I was freaking out about it cause the moms had been talking about it. I was 11 or 12 when we shot it, and we were like best friends. I was like, �This is weird!� Taylor made fun of be about that forever. The whole entire time I had no idea. I was so into it.�

Her activities of choice when chilling with her old friend T-Laut all fall under the heading of �being goofballs,� Dooley said, adding that she sees the Twilight star �all the time.� Their similarities, as you may not know, are staggering, and it goes far beyond sharing the same first name. They�re both from Michigan, both starred in their first movie together and both have moms named Debbie.

�It was terrible to deal with. I remember the first day everybody was like, �Can we bring Taylor to set? Well, which Taylor?� And it was the biggest mix-up all the time. So Robert was like, �Let�s make this easy. You�re Sharky and you�re Lava.� For the rest of the set we were Sharky and Lava the entire time.�

As for Twilight, she�s never read the books but loves the movies. �Taylor�s been trying to get me to read them, but the movies are really good. I�m really excited for Taylor about everything that Twilight has done for him. I�m really proud of him. I know he�s enjoying it and having a blast.�

3D has finally taken hold of Hollywood, and Dooley can count herself among the 21st century pioneers of the technology. �There�s something I really like about it,� she said. �The thing that�s really sad for me � I know Sharkboy and Lavagirl came out and it was the whole red and blue glasses deal still. Those give a me a headache sometimes, but I know with the polarized 3D that they come out with, it�s absolutely amazing in 3D. We got to see the movie like that, and I wish everybody else got to see the movie that way.�

For now, Taylor�s biding her time until her 18th birthday on February 26 when she�ll be set free into the unconstrained adult world of acting. She�s deep in the pilot season and auditions that go with it in the meantime. �I would love to play a character that I could sink my teeth into, whether it�s a movie, TV, comedy or drama. I feel like there�s a lot of different parts of my personality that I�d like to show. I would be a lot of fun to be on anything to be honest.�
