Taylor Lautner wins RV company payout

Taylor Lautner has settled a lawsuit against an RV company that failed to deliver a $300,000 (£194,000) vehicle for a recent movie shoot, his lawyer has confirmed.

Attorney Robert Barta told The AP that the 18-year-old star received a $40,000 (£25,000) payout from McMahon RV after they missed the deadline to provide an accommodation vehicle for the Twilight actor during filming of his new thriller Abduction.

Barta added that Lautner would donate the five-figure sum to the Lollipop Theatre Network, a nonprofit organisation that arranges film screenings for hospitalised children.

Lautner had previously been challenged to settle the dispute in a push-up contest with the owner of the RV company.
