'Twilight' star Taylor Lautner has joked about how he found it "painful" to carry co-star Kristen Stewart for a whole day while filming 'Eclipse'.

Speaking to MTV News, the actor, who plays Jacob in the movie series, said: "There's a scene where I'm carrying [Kristen], and it's also, like, four pages of dialogue."

"We actually had plans, a rig that was basically going to carry her, and I was just going to pretend that I was carrying her."

"We got there on the day, and the rig didn't look very natural. They were like, 'What are we going to do?' and I'm like, 'I'll just carry her. She's like, what, 110 pounds? It's no big deal!'"

"We filmed that scene all day long. Did the wide shot, did my close-up, did her close-up, the back shot, everything. It was so hard... It was painful."

'The Twilight Saga: Eclipse' opens in Irish cinemas on 8 July.
