Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn Easter Egg - Mr T?!

Okay, this movie isn'nt on DVD yet, I saw this in the cinema, so obviously you can't pause it (this makes this egg a bit harder to notice).

At the part when Lady Castofiore is entering the courtyard of the Sultan of Baghar, look at the audience. You only see him for a few views, so don't blink! In the crowd of important people there is Mr T! He has his trademark mohawk and is even in his generals uniform, medals and all! I don't know why he is in the movie, maybe someone could tell me any personal significance to both movies' creators?
