Twilight actor Taylor Lautner has told Sky News there were tears on set as shooting of the final film ended - but the franchise is still set to dominate the next year of his life.
Breaking Dawn, based on the third book in Stephanie Meyer's best-selling Twilight Saga, has been split into two films - just like the final Harry Potter instalments.
Part one comes on out on November 18 but fans will have to wait a year to see part two.
Lautner, who plays werewolf Jacob Black, said: "The good thing is that we'll be able to promote it for the next year-and-a half to two years. And then, when it's all done - we're great friends and we'll stay in touch."
Taylor LautnerThere were tears from a few people. It was definitely emotional because we've all grown so close to each other….We've been doing this for so many years now. I remember the last day of filming and it was like 'are we really done?'
Lautner, 19, and co-stars Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart have become international teenage idols since appearing in the films.
He revealed emotions were running high as the cast filmed the final Twilight scenes.
Lautner said: "There were tears from a few people. It was definitely emotional because we've all grown so close to each other… We've been doing this for so many years now.
"I remember the last day of filming and it was like, 'Are we really done?'"
The actor has been in the UK promoting his new film Abduction, which had its London premiere on Monday night.
The action-thriller sees Lautner in his first break-out role as a leading man. It also stars Alfred Molina, Jason Isaacs and Sigourney Weaver.
So far it has failed to impress the critics, but the £23m film looks set to make money at the box office after taking £7m in its opening weekend.
Lautner is a former martial arts junior world champion and said his training helped him get in shape for the new role.
"I had to knock off some rust and get back into martial arts," he said.
"Three months before filming I got a boxing trainer and a motorcycle trainer and a wrestling coach."
Unlike some young Hollywood stars, Lautner says he has managed to stay grounded despite the success and hype that surrounds him.
"I have this new and exciting aspect to my life and I get to do what I love to do... but I have the same life that I've always had," he said.
"I go home and see my friends and my family and do the same things that I've always done.
"When we go to events and there are thousands of fans, it's still surreal to us even today…it's amazing. But I'm still the same person I always was."
