Emile Hirsch drives the Mach 5 in the hit film "Speed Racer." He spoke to NEWSWEEK's Ramin Setoodeh after the London premiere. Excerpts:

SETOODEH: AFTER doing this movie, are you a better driver?

HIRSCH: It's all green screen. But I'd come off "Into the Wild," where I'd done intense preparation, so just out of habit, I prepared quite a bit, even though I didn't have to do a lot of driving. I got in contact with Jimmy Johnson, the NASCAR pro.

What do you drive?

A black Toyota Prius. But I go-kart like a mofo.

Do you feel like a heartthrob?
