Emile Hirsch is coming out of the Wild and onto the racetrack this week with his new film Speed Racer. The live action family film, courtesy of the Wachowski brothers, puts a new candy-colored twist on the original Japanese anime series of the 1960s. Hollywood.com couldn’t wait to catch up with the star to find out more about his racy new movie.
Hollywood.com: What was your first car? What do you drive now? What do you wish you could drive?
Emile Hirsch: My first car was a blue Ford Festiva. The car I drive now is a black Toyota Pruis. And the car I wish I could drive, I'd like to drive a tricked out Mach 5 [laughs]. Let's get the studio to get me one. Can you imagine driving one of those? Especially if it went 180? It would be so much fun. Vrooom!
HW: What is the must-have feature on your tricked out Mach 5?
EH: Jump jacks. I'd be like, “Vroom. Forget the traffic.”
