Jamie Bell has spilled his views on his unforgettable experience in working with Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson for ‘The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn’. He revealed that he always wanted to be like Tintin when he was a kid. He said that playing the character is the most primal of acting for him

Bell admitted that as a child he did not want to be himself, but Tintin. He added that he wanted his lifestyle and would stay up really late in his room and read the comics and when he closed his eyes, he liked the idea that he could have any adventure in his mind from reading ‘Tintin’. Bell said that he was first tapped to lend his voice and do the CGI performance for his childhood idol in the animated movie. He recalled that his casting started with Peter and he worked with him on ‘King Kong’ and later told him that he would literally die to play the part of Tintin

The actor who won a BAFTA award for his role in 200’s ‘Billy Elliot’ has told that his dream came true when Jackson has invited him to see how he could fare doing a CGI performance and doing the motion-capture was an intense experience and it brings him back to the most primal of acting. He said that as a dancer, it felt so good to do a role like Tintin that required him to move so much. He added that he definitely brought his dancer self to the table and had a sense of being himself and dynamic in his physicality.

‘The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn’ has opened wide in the U.S. 21st December since. However, the movie follows Tintin’s first challenging adventure with Captain Haddock and is also supported by the likes of Andy Serkis, Daniel Craig, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost.
