Asterix is referred to in the Tintin story Tintin and the Picaros, in which one of the revellers in the Carnaval wears an Asterix costume, although no meeting of the two occurs. The reverse happens in Asterix in Belgium, where two characters Thomson and Thompson from The Adventures of Tintin make a guest appearance.
The series is also referred to in Larry Gonick's The Cartoon History of the Universe Volume 2. Asterix, Obelix and Vitalstatistix appear in several panels depicting the historical invasion of Rome by the Gauls.
In the live action adaptations of the series made in the late 1990s and early 2000s (decade), Asterix is played by Christian Clavier in Asterix and Obelix take on Caesar and Asterix & Obelix: Mission Cleopatra, while Clovis Cornillac portrays the character in Asterix at the Olympic Games. Roger Carel portrays him in all French versions of cartoons since 1967, while Bill Oddie, Craig Charles, Paul Giamatti and Henry Winkler portray him in English dubs.
