Taylor Lautner responded to the viral “What hafen, Vella?” trend, which originated from a parody by Christopher Diwata on the Philippine TV show It’s Showtime.
The trend gained renewed popularity a decade later, featuring Diwata impersonating Lautner’s “Twilight” character, Jacob Black, with the phrase “What hafen, Vella?”—a playful twist on “What happened, Bella?”
A netizen brought the trend to Lautner’s attention on social media. In his response, Lautner acknowledged the trend through his social media interaction, expressing amusement and appreciation for the global reach of the meme.
He remarked on the unexpected nature of the trend’s resurgence and its connection to his iconic role in Twilight.
Lautner’s acknowledgment further fueled the trend’s popularity, highlighting the enduring impact of Twilight on pop culture.
