Taylor Lautner may be a movie star now, but he's still got simple tastes.

For his cover story of this month's GQ, he suggested dining not at the Ivy or some other Hollywood hang, but at the Olive Garden in his hometown of Valencia.

And it's clear from the article that he's a regular at the Italian chain eatery (which Kendra Wilkinson also loves).

He orders without looking at the menu and even knows exactly how much substituting the Caesar salad for the house salad will cost. "I know," he tells the server. "It'll be a dollar fifty extra. That's fine."

But one thing he's not fine with is taking off his shirt for no reason...

The Twilight heartthrob tells the mag that he was orignially supposed to strip off his shirt in Valentine's Day, but refused.

"The script said we were walking into school and Willy takes off his shirt," he told the mag. "I said 'Whoa, whoa, whoa. Time out. He's gonna take off his shirt in the middle of school? No, no, no.' The reason I took off my shirt in New Moon is because it's written in the book that way. And there are reasons behind it."

Note: Tay may claim to make a fuss about stripping down, but still agreed to pose shirtless in the mag.

Another fun fact you may not know about Taylor: The 18-year-old has no plans to move out of his parents' home.

"There's really no point," he tells GQ. "I'm so busy."

Plus, he still helps out around the house! "The thing I love is that my home life hasn't changed," he explains. "I still help out with the garbage. I still help out with the lawn."

But does he wear a shirt while doing it?
