I've only watched Tintin once so i don't know much about it but, i don't even think i was born when it played on Tv cuz i watched it on the internet. Didn't it play on Tv in like the 80's!?! I was born in 1995!

I even have a letter from the late Herge (Georges Remi) as well as an original (specially drawn!)autographed sketch on a postcard sized card! I have his books in several languages.

He will shine in this role and finally this could be hie big break into stardom. Give Tom a break - he has had a few major roles in films over the years and is a damn fine young actor.

I had always thought he was early-to-mid-30's. Therefore, I definitely thought Simon Pegg. I didn’t realize the character Tin Tin was so young. I had always thought he was early-to-mid-30’s.

I saw him in some episodes of Doctor Who last year; he looks exactly the same as he did in Love Actually, only a little bit taller and with a slightly deeper voice. Huh. 17. Who would've thought? Age aside, though, I think it could work. The kid can act in my opinion, so I'm not worried. I cannot believe that that kid is 17 years old.

Maybe even Romeo or Titanic Leo, but not too much past that. Sure, Sangster is cute, etc. but I have to think he's far too young to work effectively. Tintin shoots a gun, can beat up thugs, etc (he's physically imposing enough to handle adult criminals) and while he is a young journalist, has to show that he is competent enough to work on a story and be a world traveler on his own, not someone who is in high school and has his mom do his laundry. He should look younger than what we generally see as "college age" characters in movies (ie played by 25-28 year olds), but a 19-24 year old actor who looks young is what is needed. Maybe the redhead from Harry Potter. I think “Basketball Diaries” era Leonardo DiCaprio would best suit the role of Tintin, but I’m just not sure of anyone right now.
