When Taylor Lautner told us about his hot and heavy onscreen hookup with Lily Collins in Abduction, he left out one very important detail.

He and Ms. Collins enjoyed an offscreen romance, too!

How do we know? Sure, rumors have been swirling for months, but now their costar Denzel Whitaker has actually gone on the record about it. 

Here's what he told us...

"It's kind of like that teenage love in high school," Whitaker said at last night's Hollywood premiere of his latest flick, Warrior (more on that later!). "It was kind of like, 'Let's go on a date.' They were willing to go bowling. It wasn't all about the relationship, it was more about having fun with each other and I think any time that's the premise of your couple, it's going to go great."

Whitaker says he saw the sparks flying at the very first table read. "I think the chemistry's naturally going to show [in the movie]...It was off set so it definitely came on set," he said.

As for that steamy scene, Whitaker said it takes place in a train. "I think all the fans of both parties are really going to love that," he said. Yeah, especially since Whitaker also told E! News, "There are a few scenes without [Lautner's] shirt on."

One thing Whitaker couldn't tell us was if Lautner and Collins are still an item. No matter, because sources tell us they're not.

Lautner's rep did not immediately comment. A rep for Collins said she does not ocmment on her clients' private lives.

Now we want to hear from you. Taylor Lautner and Lily Collins as a couple—sound off below!
