Taylor Lautner is speaking his Twilight truth.

The 32-year-old actor, who played Jacob in the fantasy film series, just put a hilarious twist on the camera-flip trend sweeping TikTok, taking a playful dig at Edward (played by Robert Pattinson, 38) while he was at it.

The pet-dominated trend sees users making bold and faceless claims before pretending to accidentally flip to their front camera, revealing the their identities. For Lautner’s entry, he took a controversial Twilight stance, claiming that Jacob should have ended up with Bella (Kristen Stewart, 34) instead of Pattinson’s brooding vampire character.

Set to sad violin music, the Nov. 16 TikTok starts with a shot of a TV playing a scene from the fourth film in the Twilight saga, Breaking Dawn – Part 1, which shows Bella marrying Edward in a dream sequence.

“Honestly screw Edward. Bella should have ended up with Jacob,” Lautner wrote over the footage, which then cuts to a close-up shot of his face as he pretends to accidentally flip the camera.

Additional text reading “oh no no no" pops up as he jokingly fumbles with — and seemingly drops — his phone.

“Not me liking the video before realizing who posted it😂,” one person commented, and Lautner replied, “Hahahahahaha.”

Lautner also revealed in the comments that the video was, like many of his videos calling back to his iconic roles, actually the brainchild of wife, Tay, who was actually Team Edward, not Jacob.

Replying to a user who wrote, “Why do I feel like this was Tay’s idea 😂😂,” the actor said, “Cuz you are very smart (and correct).”

Twilight fans seem happy with the results, as the TikTok has amassed nearly 20 million likes within 24 hours.

“The fact that we all collectively thought ‘me too’ without knowing Taylor posted this is hilarious 😭,” one top comment read, while another declared, “ITS OVER HE WON THIS TREND GO HOME 😭.”

Lautner’s take on the camera-flip trend comes about a year after he opened up about his Twilight days and, more specifically, his off-screen relationship with his on-screen rival.

While appearing on Call Her Daddy last December alongside Tay, 27, the actor addressed how the leading Twilight men handled the Team Edward vs. Team Jacob rivalry as the popular movies were released from 2008 to 2012.

Though it was “tough” for Lautner sometimes, “Rob and I were always able to [handle it]" despite being "very, very different people," he said.

"We never really connected on a deep level, just because we're different humans," Lautner explained. "But he was always fantastic and the sweetest person ever."
