The owner of an RV dealership sued by Taylor Lautner over a customized vehicle challenged the " Twilight " star Monday to
use his muscles instead of his lawyers to resolve the case.
Brent McMahon, who owns McMahon's RV in Irvine, Calif., offered to compete in a push-up contest to settle the breach of contract lawsuit
that Lautner filed Aug. 23 claiming the dealership failed to deliver a
$300,000 RV on time for use as a dressing room on the set of the
actor's latest film.
McMahon and his attorney denied wrongdoing and said they will vigorously defend the case in court if Lautner, 18, doesn't accept the
challenge.
The dealership said Lautner's camp had sought a $40,000 settlement to resolve the case, leading to the unorthodox proposal by McMahon. The
47-year-old businessman said if he won the contest, he would donate the
settlement money to Children's Hospital of Orange County .
Lautner's attorney Robert Barta declined comment, citing the pending lawsuit.
Lautner's lawsuit claimed McMahon's failed to complete the customized RV on time, and it needed additional work after it was
delivered.
It was unclear what upgrades Lautner sought. McMahon said the vehicle was given a custom paint job.
Lautner gained fame for his role as Jacob Black in the " Twilight " movie series. He is currently filming "Abduction" and will reprise his
role as Black in the two-part " Twilight " finale.
