Taylor Lautner has praised his sister (Lauren Hurley/PA)
Twilight actor Taylor Lautner has said his sister Makena is “so much braver” than he is after she underwent heart surgery.
The star, 26, shared a photograph on Instagram of his sister lying in bed in the Children’s Hospital Los Angeles as he leans over and kisses her forehead.
He wrote: “2nd heart procedure is finally a MASSIVE success. Couldn’t possibly look up to this little/not so little girl any more.
“You are much braver than I @makenalautner.. Love you so.”
Last month, Lautner wished her a happy 20th birthday by sharing a photograph of them both as children.
He wrote: “HAPPY 20th BIRTHDAY to this cool cucumber who inspires me every single day. One day I hope to grow up as cool as you. Love you more @makenalautner.”
His sister is an aspiring volleyball player, who gave a TEDx talk in 2016 about her recovery from surgery after tearing her anterior cruciate ligament.
In the talk, she revealed she had been diagnosed with a rare condition called SVT, which causes her heart to beat more than 300 beats per minute.
