<p>Danish actor Palle Huld, who reportedly inspired a Belgian cartoonist to create the comic book reporter Tintin, has died at the age of 98. </p>
<p>Huld died on November 26 in a retirement home in Copenhagen. The cause of death was not given.</p>
<p>Huld was a stage actor with Denmark&#8217;s Royal Theatre, and he appeared in 40 Danish films between 1933 and 2000.</p>
<p>However, his fame came before his acting career began.</p>
<p>In 1928, he won a competition organised by a Danish newspaper that wanted to send a teenager would-be-reporter around the globe.</p>
<p>For 44 days, the 15-year-old travelled to North America, Japan, Siberia and Germany, and was greeted by 20,000 people upon his return to Copenhagen.</p>
<p>Herge, the pen name of Belgian author Georges Remi, heard of Huld&#8217;s journey which reportedly inspired him to create Tintin, the globe-trotting reporter.</p>
