After months of going viral, Taylor Lautner has finally acknowledged the internet sensation that Filipinos can’t get enough of—the iconic “What hafen, Vella?” trend!
The line, made famous by Cristopher Diwata’s impersonation of Lautner’s Twilight character Jacob Black on the “It’s Showtime” segment Kalokalike, has taken over TikTok more than a decade later. And now, it’s officially on Lautner’s radar.
In a TikTok video featuring Lautner and his wife Taylor Dome, a fan cheekily commented that the actor had done everything online except react to Cristopher’s famous line. Lautner responded with a witty comeback: “Yup, but it’s not your fault, it’s mine.”
His comment has since racked up over 55,000 likes—and counting.
This marks the first time Lautner has publicly reacted to the trend, which has seen countless recreations across social media. Users and celebrities alike have quoted Cristopher’s dramatic meme-worthy delivery: “What hafen, Vella? Why you cryin’ again? I know, vampire, right? Vampire will feyt to me.”
Cristopher’s resurgence has led to multiple brand partnerships and collabs with big names like Ben&Ben, SB19, and Sparkle stars Barbie Forteza and Kyline Alcantara.
It’s official—Taylor Lautner is in on the joke, and the internet can’t get enough.
