We take a detour from our usual world of film and TV to welcome a NASCAR legend (a term he's still getting used to) Jimmie Johnson to the show.

Along the way we discuss how he kept a winning mindset to become one of the sport's all-time greats, life after full-time racing and how an elite American athlete ended up in a gym full of actors in London.

He also talks us through his brief run-in with Hollywood and his work with Will Ferrell on the NASCAR parody Talladega Nights.
