Taylor Lautner acknowledges 'What hafen, Vella?' trend

Taylor Lautner acknowledged the viral trend 'What hafen, Vella?' on TikTok, a line popularized by Filipino impersonator Cristopher Diwata mimicking Lautner's character Jacob Black from 'Twilight'.

Cristopher first performed the now-famous phrase in 2013 during a segment of the show 'It's Showtime', and it resurfaced recently to go viral again.

TikTok users, including celebrities such as Piolo Pascual, Iñigo Pascual, Bela Padilla, BINI Maloi, Mikha, Aiah, Michael Sager, KZ Tandingan, and TJ Monterde, have been recreating Cristopher's iconic lines.

Lautner's acknowledgment was prompted by a Filipino netizen tagging him on social media to notice the trend.

Since going viral, Cristopher has worked with several notable figures in Philippine entertainment including Ben&Ben, SB19, TikTok star Abi Marquez, and continues to receive brand endorsements. He recently shared a video of himself singing SB19's 'MAPA' and included nostalgic photos of his parents.
