Taylor and Tay Lautner take the Cosmo Couples Quiz! Your childhood crush, Taylor Lautner, and his wife, Tay, sat down with Cosmo to put eight years together to the test. From Taylor’s 'Sex and the City' connection and a 'White Lotus' co-star to Tay’s nursing specialty and the first time she saw Taylor on screen (hint, hint: it's not 'Sharkboy and Lavagirl'), no detail is off-limits. We kept score throughout, but when you’re married to your soulmate, bragging rights are just a bonus.

00:11This is the Cosmo Couples Quiz.
00:14And you're going down.
00:16Yeah, right?
00:18I may have been cheating a little bit.
00:19What are you talking about?
00:20I have been maybe sneaking a couple questions in
00:23over the past little bit.
00:25Last week, TMI, but we were just, we were both in the shower.
00:29And she looks over to me, and she goes,
00:32what was your first job you ever did?
00:35And I was like, oh, I mean, probably Shadow Fury.
00:40And I was like, where did that come from?
00:42And she's like, I'm preparing for the Cosmo Quiz.
00:44I was like, that's not fair.
00:46I got you when you were most vulnerable.
00:48Appreciate it.
00:50Are you ready for this?
00:51Yeah.
00:54What was your first job?
00:55What was my first acting job?
00:57Shadow Fury.
00:59Great job.
01:00And that's the only one I prepped.
01:01Tay, when was the first time you remember
01:04seeing Taylor on screen?
01:06Sharkboy and Lavagirl.
01:07Were you wearing the different colored glasses?
01:08Yeah, the 3D, yeah.
01:09Yeah.
01:10The Lavagirl glasses.
01:11Yeah, at home with the one blue and one red.
01:13Yeah.
01:14The good old days.
01:16OK, who is my dream podcast guest?
01:20McConaughey.
01:21Oh, yeah.
01:22And?
01:23And?
01:24Yeah, he's like my heart and soul.
01:26Ben Affleck?
01:27No, no, that's no.
01:29You are kind of obsessed with him.
01:30You talk about him a lot.
01:31He's my favorite Batman.
01:34Wow.
01:35He is.
01:35Hot take.
01:36That's a very hot take.
01:38Love you, Ben, but.
01:40I'll give you a hint.
01:40He is, like, very active early in the morning.
01:45What the frick does that mean?
01:46He's golfed 18 holes by the time I'm having my coffee.
01:49Wahlberg.
01:50Mark Wahlberg.
01:51All right, fair enough.
01:55All right.
01:56What movie am I in with an actress from Sex and the City?
02:03I know you're a big Sex and the City fan.
02:05I know.
02:06I'm slightly freaking out.
02:07And why haven't you told me this before?
02:08Definitely have.
02:09You don't know?
02:10I've seen this movie.
02:11You talked about it probably 0.5 seconds ago.
02:13Oh, Shadow Fury?
02:14Not Shadow Fury.
02:17The other one.
02:18Oh, Sharkboy?
02:19Yeah, Kristen Davis.
02:21What?
02:22Kristen Davis and David Arquette.
02:24Oh, I see her now.
02:25Are Max's parents.
02:26Whoa.
02:27Now I just need to get you to watch Sex and the City with me.
02:31What was my very first job?
02:33I know it's one of two things.
02:34OK.
02:35You can say both.
02:36But I'd be willing to bet before you worked in the boutique,
02:41you started babysitting.
02:43Those would both be correct.
02:45Yes.
02:45Good job.
02:46I didn't have to cheat for that either.
02:48No, you did not.
02:50Have you had a non-acting job?
02:52I mowed lawns in Michigan.
02:54Good for you.
02:55I painted a garage once.
02:57I'm handy, huh?
02:58Oh, yeah.
03:00I'm not handy.
03:01He's not at all.
03:03This is going to be a real tough one for you.
03:05Finish my iconic line.
03:08Welka.
03:08Yep.
03:11No, there's a little more.
03:12OK.
03:13Welka, where?
03:13Where the hell have you been?
03:15Welka.
03:15Nice.
03:16Welka!
03:18Where the hell have you been, Welka?
03:21It's almost like you're a Twilight fan or something.
03:23I almost like it.
03:24Even though I didn't remember ever hearing that line
03:26until it became a thing.
03:27Nobody remembers that line.
03:28Yeah.
03:29OK, next question.
03:30Oh.
03:30Oh.
03:31You're just scaring me.
03:33What is my favorite meme of you?
03:37I can tell you mine.
03:39I'm pretty sure I'm in my Sharkboy getup from the neck down.
03:44Yes.
03:45And I have glasses on.
03:46You have the reading glasses on.
03:47And a flip phone.
03:49It's a really funny photo.
03:51And I'm being very serious, making a very important phone
03:53call.
03:54Yeah.
03:54I was going to say the Christmas one.
03:57Of the Christmas, where the hell have you been look of?
03:59Where it's your face on, like, Cindy Lou Who's hair.
04:02Yeah.
04:03You're just a celebrity.
04:04What can I say?
04:05I love using your face on memes.
04:08Is it you?
04:09It's you.
04:09It's me?
04:10Yeah.
04:10OK.
04:11Which two projects did I star in with Emma Roberts?
04:15Valentine's Day?
04:16Yep.
04:17And?
04:18Is there two?
04:19It's not in a cheaper.
04:21I don't know.
04:21She's not in, oh, Scream Queens.
04:24Oh my gosh, I'm so dumb.
04:25I wouldn't say I starred in that with her,
04:27but she was the star and I was in it.
04:29We were just talking about the green meaning
04:30in the car all the way over here.
04:31Dr. Cassidy Cascade.
04:33Ooh, nice.
04:35Who was Stamos's?
04:38No.
04:39Dr. Brock Holt and Cassidy Cascade.
04:43Beautiful names.
04:44From the mind of Ryan Murphy.
04:46To get you some bonus points.
04:49OK.
04:50Name any three actors in Valentine's Day.
04:54There's a lot.
04:54So if you don't get this, we're going to send you home.
04:57OK?
04:58Ashton Kutcher.
04:59Yep.
04:59Oh, that's what Jessica Owl was in.
05:01She is.
05:02Taylor loved her.
05:03You said that in a past tense.
05:05Oh, sorry.
05:05Love, sorry.
05:07Big fan.
05:08Um.
05:09The last question was about her niece.
05:11Julia Roberts.
05:12Yeah.
05:13A lot of people.
05:13A lot of people.
05:14Yeah.
05:15What specialty of nursing did I work in?
05:18Telemetry.
05:19That was the floor.
05:20Yeah.
05:21What did we do on that floor?
05:23Heart stuff.
05:24Yeah.
05:25Monitoring hearts.
05:28I told him the other day that I need to get into acting
05:31so that I can be on the pit.
05:32Speaking of Dr. Cassidy Cascade.
05:35Like, you guys had to say medical terms.
05:38Oh, it's so hard.
05:39Tell me how you would get stuck on those,
05:41because they're not everyday words.
05:43One of the hardest things I've done,
05:45and we would have to use cue cards all the time,
05:47because it's like a different language.
05:49Yeah.
05:50It's crazy.
05:51So yeah, I would not be good.
05:53She'd be on speed dial.
05:54Yeah.
05:55Which co-star has given me the best advice?
06:01I guess the first one that comes to mind is,
06:04you weren't in anything with him, but Tom Cruise.
06:07It was the opening skit to the MTV Movie Awards.
06:10Oh, wow.
06:11And he was so kind.
06:12After we filmed, he was like, here's my cell phone number.
06:16You call me whenever you need anything,
06:18if you have any questions.
06:20Other than that, I would say Sandler.
06:23I think he's a person in the industry
06:25that's really seen a lot in you that you didn't know is there,
06:30like playing Lil Pete in Ridiculous 6.
06:32His belief in me was very cool,
06:35when I didn't even have it in myself, for sure.
06:37Yeah, I'm sweet.
06:39OK.
06:40If I had to pick a new career now, what would it be?
06:43New career now.
06:45Before you decided to go into nursing,
06:49you wanted to be an editor.
06:53I love editing.
06:55That's why you're so good on tick of the tock.
06:57Which one is the Gen Z of the two of us?
07:03But if you were to choose something now,
07:07are we living in like a dream world?
07:09Maybe.
07:10OK.
07:11You wanted to be a singer, like a pop star.
07:14I don't know.
07:15I'm sweating now.
07:16No, I used to joke all the time with Taylor that I wanted singing lessons.
07:20Because, like, who wouldn't want to know how to sing?
07:21Like, that's such a cool flex.
07:23You could be the next Tate McRae.
07:27Pass away, my literal dream.
07:29My dream is to be Tate McRae.
07:30Here you go.
07:31OK.
07:32This is going to be a toughie.
07:33Which White Lotus actor played my frat brother in Grown Ups 2?
07:37Patty.
07:38Yes.
07:40We love Patty.
07:41That's actually the first time I met him, though.
07:43We actually met.
07:44We found out he was going to be playing my frat brother.
07:47I met up with him before to do a workout.
07:51Then we came close and have been close friends ever since.
07:54Who would I want to play me in a movie version of our love story?
07:59Ooh.
08:00This is tough.
08:02There's a few.
08:03There's a few.
08:04I've thought of this.
08:05Yeah.
08:06Many a times.
08:07Speaking of White Lotus.
08:09Yep.
08:10Tay loves Sarah Catherine Hook.
08:12Tay also likes Kiernan Shipka.
08:15Then I'll throw a bonus one in here.
08:17I don't think you'd say it, but people say that you look like her all the time.
08:23Yeah.
08:24So I'll throw Victoria Dreddy in there.
08:26Yeah.
08:27That was good?
08:28Yeah, you went.
08:29Not forgetting anybody?
08:30No.
08:31What is my most watched TikTok?
08:33I'm going to show my age again here.
08:37I don't know what the trend was, but it was you, the person you thought you were going
08:42to end up with, and it was Edward, the person you ended up with.
08:45Yeah.
08:46It's either that one or our SNL Halloween.
08:48Yeah.
08:49Our Timothee Chalamet, Pete Davidson Halloween costume.
08:52Yeah.
08:53Is that correct?
08:54And the Timmy one is number two.
08:55Okay.
08:56She's right there.
08:57That's like, I feel like one of our best moments as a couple.
08:59That's a good one.
09:00We really shined in that, and the fact that we showed up to Heidi Klum's Halloween party
09:03looking like that was just really fun.
09:05Yeah.
09:06It's your turn.
09:07Okay.
09:08Hmm.
09:09Hmm.
09:10What is my favorite stunt to do?
09:11Well, besides back flipping, you probably like to do your little thing.
09:18You like that thing, and then you also like the thing in Grown Ups 2, that one thing you
09:23got really high on.
09:24I don't know what that's called.
09:25One thing I got really high on.
09:26Yeah, you got a lot of height.
09:27We're talking about a jump.
09:28Yeah, the one you got a lot of height on that is like a kick, spinny, jumpy, turny.
09:32Yes.
09:33The 540.
09:34Yeah.
09:35Yeah.
09:36I can't jump like that anymore.
09:37Or your 11 back flips.
09:38You can still do them.
09:39It won't look like that.
09:40You just got to stretch a little bit.
09:41A little stretch, a little tequila.
09:43You're good to go.
09:44Okay.
09:45Fair enough.
09:46Okay.
09:47It's time for the rap.
09:48I don't know why I'm doing like an announcer voice.
09:50You can just speak like you speak, Taylor.
09:53It's time for the rapid fire round.
09:55We'll have one minute to answer these questions as fast as we can.
09:59Okay.
10:00Who responds faster when someone yells Taylor?
10:02You.
10:03Me, because I'm Taylor.
10:04You're Tay.
10:05Yes.
10:06What song did I walk down the aisle to?
10:07Oh, no.
10:08What is it?
10:09What is it?
10:10Heaven's knife.
10:11Okay.
10:12Is it really?
10:13Yeah.
10:14Three.
10:15Who gets hangrier?
10:16You.
10:17Probably me.
10:18Yeah.
10:19You're more sassy though.
10:20Who is the more impulsive spender?
10:21You get a lot of shipments.
10:23Guilty.
10:24Who needs more TikTok takes?
10:26You.
10:27Definitely me.
10:28Who has better taste in music?
10:29Well, yeah.
10:30We're pretty similar.
10:31Yeah.
10:32But I probably have some random stuff in there that puts me beneath you.
10:35Okay.
10:36Yeah.
10:37Me.
10:38Sure.
10:39Wasn't your like Spotify rap like a 16 year olds or something?
10:40I was 20.
10:41And I was 86.
10:42I don't know which is more concerning.
10:44Who is the better gift giver?
10:46Ooh.
10:47Mmm.
10:48I love you, but I'm going to say me.
10:50Yeah.
10:51I was going to say you.
10:52Okay.
10:53Who hogs the covers?
10:54That's me.
10:55Who is the bigger drama queen?
10:56You.
10:57Me.
10:58Who's the better dancer?
10:59Me.
11:00I'll allow it.
11:01I'm going to dance for 20 years of my life.
11:02It's fine.
11:05Who do we think won?
11:06I'll admit she did better than I thought she was going to do.
11:10I did better than I thought I was going to do.
11:11Actually, I was a little nervous.
11:12I was stumped on a couple.
11:14I'll go Taylor.
11:15I'll go Tay.
