| Jamie Bell & Mr. Will-W. |
Introducing
Tintin himself! 25 year-old British Actor
Jamie Bell is known best for his work in 2000's
Billy Elliot in which he starred in the Lead Role, Since then however, he has built a steady career in popular titles like
King Kong, Flags of our Fathers, Defiance and
Jane Eyre.
Bell flew-in from New York City yesterday morning for an extensive two-day Toronto Press Tour in support of
Steven Spielberg's
The Adventures of Tintin.
The $135 million
3-D Spectacle is expected to fare well internationally (it already has opened in several markets overseas) as Fans of the Comic Book Series have long adored it since it first was created by
Hergé (Georges Remi) in the 1940s. I remember visiting London a few years back and seeing a Shop of all
Tintin Memorabilia - that's how big it is over there!

I caught-up with
Bell quickly one of his stop-offs today including visits to C
BC, MuchMusic, CHUM-FM and a day full of interviews out of his
Yorkville Hotel. Despite being rushed by his Handler, he was a Gentleman about it all, stopping to pose for a Photo and signing Autographs for Fans. It's been a while since he's been in Toronto, after filming
Doug Liman's
Jumper here back in 2008 alongside
Hayden Christensen and
Rachel Bilson. While in the City,
Bell made sure to check-out the
Toronto Maple Leafs vs.
Boston Bruins last night at
Air Canada Centre.
