Jamie Bell gives away Tintin tickets

Jamie Bell has launched a costume contest to give away passes to the premiere of his latest movie The Adventures Of Tintin.

The Brit has asked fans to submit pictures of themselves dressed as the famous boy reporter, who he plays in the new adventure film, for a chance to meet him on the red carpet in London.

In a video posted on his Twitter.com page, Bell explains, "The premiere takes place on October 23, it is at the Odeon West End in Leicester Square in London. Paramount have very kindly issued me with four tickets to issue to the winner of a very special Twitter competition.

"You have to send me in pictures of yourself dressed as the intrepid boy reporter - with quiff and all - and I'll select the winner from those pictures that you send in. I've already had lots of entries, they've all been great. Just have fun with it - anyone can enter, you don't have to be a boy to be the intrepid boy reporter. Tintin is a universal character and should be embraced by everyone!"

The Adventures of Tintin premiere will be held in the British capital on Sunday (23Oct11).
