Freddie Highmore Blasts Off

by Stacy Hinojosa Oct 23rd 2009 at 9:47AM

Astro Boy hits theaters today! And we got to chat with its star, Freddie Highmore, a few hours before he hit the red carpet with Kristen Bell for the movie's L.A. premiere earlier this week.

Freddie, 17, is currently juggling school and movies. "I still go to school," he said. "I'm in my last year now, so hopefully I'll [go] off to university and squeeze in acting at the same time."

We also asked Freddie all about his character, Astro Boy, and whether he prefers animated flicks to live action roles. Click here to see a gallery of Astro Boy's powers.

Hear what Freddie had to say in our audio player - click through the questions and hit the play button to hear Freddie's answers. Oh, and we couldn't resist asking about the rumors that he's dating Dakota Fanning. Check it out below and check out Astro Boy, playing now!
