Simon / the dilemma
Simon Pegg has admitted that the decision to turn down a role in Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds was "agony". He was just confronted to professional dilemma : choose between playing the role of Ltd Archie Hicox in the movie of Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds or taking the body and soul of one of the two famous detective of the Adventures of Tintin.
He confessed that it was the most difficult challenge in his career and qualified this choice as « agony »...a kind of echo to the agony of Christ.
