Palle Huld (2 August 1912 – 26 November 2010) was a Danish film actor and writer. He appeared in 40 films between 1933 and 2000. He was born in Hellerup in Denmark. His journey around the world at the age of 15 in 1928 reportedly inspired Hergé to create Tintin.

The Danish newspaper Politiken held a competition in honour of Jules Verne which was open only to teenaged boys. The winner would be assisted in a challenge to circumnavigate the globe within 46 days unaccompanied. They were allowed to use all forms of transport apart from aviation. There were several hundred applications for this competition. Huld was 15 at the time and working in a car dealership as a clerk. Huld left on his voyage on 1 March 1928, a journey that took him through the following countries, namely (besides Denmark): England, Scotland, Canada, Japan, Korea, China (Manchuria), the Soviet Union, Poland and Germany. In 44 days he made it back to Copenhagen to the cheers of a crowd of twenty-thousand. Shortly after his homecoming he made an additional journey (now mostly dressed in his scouts uniform) to Sweden, England (where he met Baden-Powell) and France (where he laid a bouquet of flowers at the grave of Jules Verne).

Biography

En 1928, Palle Huld gagne un voyage dans un concours organisé par le quotidien Politiken (La Politique), à l'occasion du 100e anniversaire de la naissance de Jules Verne. Il a décrit son voyage de 35 000 km autour de la Terre dans le livre Jorden rundt i 44 Dage (Le Tour du monde en 44 jours), traduit en 11 langues dont le Français (Hachette, 1928). Ce jeune homme, son accoutrement (large casquette, ample manteau et culotte de golf) et son aventure auraient inspiré Hergé pour la création de Tintin.

Après ses études au Canada entre 1928 et 1931, il rejoint en 1932 le Théâtre Royal du Danemark, et y devient acteur permanent en 1936. Palle Huld apparaît aussi dans une quarantaine de films danois entre 1933 et 2000. Il est, au fil du temps, honoré par plusieurs prix, dont le Frédéric Schyberg Memorial Award, l'Olaf Poulsen's Memorial Award et le prix Louis Halberstadt. En 1992, Palle Huld fait paraître un livre intitulé Så vidt jeg erindrer (en français Pour autant que je me rappelle).
