Kristin Davis 'feels protective of Lautner'

Kristin Davis has revealed that she feels "protective" of Twilight star Taylor Lautner because she has known him since he was a child.

The Sex And The City actress starred alongside 17-year-old Lautner in 2005 movie The Adventures Of Sharkboy and Lavagirl.

Speaking to MTV News, she said: "He was a kid and he didn't have those muscles, and I don't know what happened. I see these pictures [now and] I can't believe it!

"He's a great kid and he works really, really, really hard and he had a great professional ethic when I worked with him. [He was] nothing of those negative things that you think of with child actors."

She added: "I'm happy for him, I'm just a little... I feel protective, like what is he doing without his shirt on? And then I hear he's dating people and I'm like, 'Ahh!'"

Davis is currently filming Sex And The City 2, while Lautner is working on Eclipse, the third instalment in the Twilight franchise.
