Taylor Lautner once again delighted fans with his signature backflip during a surprise appearance at Kane Brown's Los Angeles concert on Saturday, August 24th. The 32-year-old actor took the stage during the country artist's "In The Air" tour, showcasing his impressive athleticism alongside special guests Tyler Hubbard and Locash.

Dressed casually in a white T-shirt and jeans, Lautner effortlessly executed a backflip, followed by a split and a salute to the cheering audience. Tyler Hubbard captured the moment on his Instagram Story, playfully comparing Lautner's skills to those of Olympic gymnast Simone Biles.

Lautner, who has been known for his acrobatic abilities since his "Twilight" days as Jacob Black, reposted a fan's video of the backflip on his own Instagram Story, humorously responding to their "8/10" rating with "8 WOWWWW."

This isn't the first time Lautner has showcased his backflipping prowess on stage. In July 2022, he performed a similar stunt during one of Brown's concerts, and even famously backflipped down the catwalk during Taylor Swift's Eras Tour stop in Kansas City last year.

Lautner later admitted on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" that his backflips are often a nervous reaction. He explained how the sight of a long walkway during Swift's concert triggered his instinct to backflip, a move he also performed in the 2010 movie "Valentine's Day."

Whether it's a spontaneous reaction to nerves or a planned performance, Lautner's backflips continue to impress and entertain audiences, reminding everyone of his athletic talents and playful spirit.
