Emile Hirsch - Into the Wild - Interview

Emile Hirsch chats with Beep about ‘Into the Wild’, Sean Penn and ‘Speed Racer’

Please keep in mind that I have no plans in following Christopher McCandless’s footsteps, played perfectly by Emile Hirsch, nor am I worried about entering into marriage with the woman I love. I just think it’s one of those funny coincidences that should be noticed and appreciated. I swear.
