Welcome to Young Hollywood.
What's up guys?
Leslie Robbins here for Young Hollywood, coming to you from the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach Pro Celebrity Race, where I am now a pro or celebrity.
I'm in the pace car, hitting the track.
Leslie Robbins here for Young Hollywood, hanging out with Mr. Jonas.
How are you?
How are you preparing for the race today?
Preparing for the race, I think just getting out there and doing it as many times as possible.
You know, it definitely takes a lot of focus and you're amazing how tired you get after it all, but um, it's a lot of fun, you know, it's just a blast when you get out there.
So during that race, three words to describe the feeling out there in that car?
Just what's going on, honestly.
You're just screaming at it the entire time because you're going so fast.
You hear your car and then you hear everybody around you and then you see somebody flying past you.
It's just it's it's nuts.
It's it's awesome.
All right, we got Stephen Moyer from True Blood.
What kind of fears are going through your head out there?
You're just hoping that everybody else is concentrating as much as you are.
Um, and sometimes, you know, when you're daydreaming and thinking about what you're going to cook this evening, you know that you you've got to concentrate and get yourself back on the road.
If you can be any type of car, what type of car would best represent you?
I would be a big old pickup truck, 1950s, smashed up, bad paint job.
That's me.
Are you saying that you're old and beat up?
Because I don't think so.
You'd be surprised.
I'm here with Jean, race car driver and acting.
A bit different.
How are you prepared to drive this automobile here?
Well, we've uh uh we've had a um a bout a uh a week training um a couple of weeks ago and uh you have to uh know the car, you have to get used to the car.
Uh you know, this is stick shift, so you kind of have to get comfortable with that.
All right, so if you could be any type of car, what car would you be?
What car would best represent who you are?
One of those uh old uh the uh the classic old um Mercedes.
That.
Classic.
Yeah.
I like that answer.
Quite fast.
Cool.
All right, it's my turn.
I'm in the pace car.
I'm hitting the track.
I'm scared out of my mind.
I think they said we go about 120 out there.
Unbelievable.
So three words to describe the feeling out on the track.
Smooth, nerve-wracking, sexy.
If you could be any type of car, what car would best represent who you are?
The car that I have sitting in my garage at home, a 1970 Vitamin C Orange Road Runner.
That's classic.
All right, we got Frankie here.
Winner, 2005.
You're pro now.
Yes.
Tell me the fears that go through your head out there, because I would be freaking out.
I I don't have any fears in a car.
I I I I don't think you can to, you know, to race like the open wheel cars like I was racing and stuff.
You know, if you have a fear, you're going to be slow.
So if you could be any type of car, what car would best describe you?
Probably a smart car.
Because it's short, it's small, but it gets the job done. Second guest: I would be a vintage Porsche. Second guest: Classy, classic, and small.
Very cool. Second guest: Yeah.
All right, we got Tito.
How else did you prepare to get behind the wheel of a car like that?
You're going to laugh about this one.
So I buy Gran Turismo on PlayStation 2.
And I race in the Long Beach Grand Prix on there.
And I've been doing it for the last two weeks over and over again, and you would not believe that you know the turns even faster, but now it's just testing knowing when to break.
Um and doing the the breaks at the right time, down shifting at the right time, but I I think it just prepared me to kind of visualize what I expected to turn on and it helped out a lot.
Now me, I'd be scared out of my mind to be driving that fast.
What kind of fears go through your head when you're driving that car?
I feel like I'm a 13-year-old kid in the car, with no fears at all.
I'm pressing the limits and I I don't know, I feel comfortable.
I think confidence, confidence is a big factor.
All right, we got Brian Austin Green.
Last year's winner, you're married this time.
How do you think that's going to affect your game?
I think the ring is going to uh is going to make me faster.
I do.
Um or it's not going to do anything at all.
We'll see.
It's going to be an interesting race day.
You're behind the wheel of a beautiful automobile.
If you could uh pick one car that best describes you, what car would you be?
'64 Nova, I think.
Um charcoal gray.
Yeah.
With a Hurst shifter.
Yeah.
It's either that's either really sexy or not at all.
