He's hardly what you would call a new kid on the block. King of cool, Emile Hirsch, has been acting since he was just eight years old, although he is sooo not how you would expect a child star to turn out. Not only is he a talented actor, made obvious by his movie choices, but he is also smart and is smokin' hot!

By the time he was 14, Emile had appeared in more than a dozen television shows, including 3rd Rock from the Sun, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, NYPD Blue and ER. He made the leap to the big screen in 2002, with a leading role in The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys.
Known as "Hirschy" to his friends, Emile has been very choosy when it comes to selecting movie roles, and is not keen on being cast in teen comedies, although he made exceptions for The Girl Next Door and Speed Racer.
Funnily enough, before he appeared in films, Emile auditioned for commercials but never got hired because he apparently "couldn't summon the inner performer to smile on cue," he told UK newspaper Scotland on Sunday, a fact that now seems hilarious.
This sexy actor's recent work has caused quite the stir with films including Milk, Into the Wild (which he starred in with Twilight babe, Kristen Stewart), Lords of Dogtown (where he learned to skate "in pools and stuff" and starred alongside the other Twilight babe, Nikki Reed) and Alpha Dog (alongside Justin Timberlake). He's been setting himself apart from the rest and earning many awards along the way.
Even though he comes across as Mr Serious on screen, Emile is a hardcore Matrix fan and has often been seen hanging with VIP members of the Brat Pack, LiLo and Nicole Ritchie, belting out karaoke at Beverly Hills hotspots.
Emile describes his half-serious half-comedian personality best "I think I've always been half out of my shell and half in. Sometimes I can be extremely wild and sometimes I can be extremely shy. It just depends on the day".
We bet Emile wasn't laughing when a date he was on once went horribly wrong, though: "I was at the movie theatre with my girlfriend, and she got tired and rested her head on my lap. I farted, and she shrieked! I was just like, 'Oh, no!'"

- Emile's experience with working on the skateboarding movie Lords of Dogtown helped him with his sense of balance in doing the mountain climbing scenes for the movie Into the Wild.
- Emile had to go on a diet and do a lot of exercises to lose weight dramatically for the last quarter of the movie Into the Wild. From the time when he got the part to the time when they shot the final scenes of the film, he lost a total of 19kg.
- Emile likes to write poetry. He also enjoys writing screenplays.
- Favourite movies include, Roger Dodger, On the Waterfront, A Streetcar Named Desire, The Usual Suspects, and The Mosquito Coast.
