Much like the monochromatic ads recently done by David Beckham for Emporio Armani and Justin Timberlake for Givenchy, Speed Racer star Emile Hirsch is starring in a campaign of black-and-white photos promoting fashion house Valentino.

The Into the Wild actor is the face of the line's spring/summer 2009 collection for men. The ads, shot in Milan, were unveiled along with the collection in Paris on Friday.

Simultaneously, Hirsch is keeping up on his day job, trotting the globe to promote Speed Racer. Positive critical reviews haven't attracted U.S. audiences, but people are different in Japan.

Also, it would have helped to include David Beckham's bulge somewhere in the movie poster. That wad can sell just about anything.

“Looks like Emile Hirsch finally has some uplifting news after his recent star vehicle Speed Racer hydroplaned off Major Flop Cliff and got swallowed up by the Box Office Poison Ocean: the 23-year-old will be the new face of Valentino's spring 2009 ad campaign.

Black-and-white photos of the Hirsch shot in Milan for the Valentino collection were revealed today in Paris.

The actor, seen here in designer duds strolling through the City Of Lights' Vendome Square with two equally-fashionable babes, has grown his hair out for his role in Gus Van Sant's upcoming Harvey Milk biopic. Well, that's the only excuse we can think of his triflin' rat-mop!

Meanwhile, if these jeaunes filles had any sense, one would've clocked Hirsch over the head with a baguette while the other hacked off that Winehouse-worthy wig with a bayonet!”
“Emile Hirsch opts for a big black ribbon tie instead of a typical necktie to go with his silver blazer while out and about with two lady friends in Paris on Friday.

The 23-year-old Speed Racer walked around Place Vendôme in his silver suit with his gal pals.

Well, let’s just leave it at Emile has a very interesting sense of fashion.”

“Emile Hirsh IS Colonel Sanders in A Tale of Two Breasts, Wings and Thighs: The KFC Story premiering Tuesday on Bravo. Costumes by Valentino. Hair by Kevin Federline.”

“Here is Emile Hirsch spending some time in Paris with two lucky ladies. The Into the Wild star was hanging out with his friends in Vendome Square and wearing a very interesting choice of wardrobe.

Not only did Emile look rather dressy, he looked like he was channeling the Colonel himself. Or maybe the Colonial times? Benjamin Franklin?

Whatever it is, I think it was a ploy to make us forget about how he starred as Speed Racer and how it flopped.”
