Elderly Eli?

I was reading the trivia section and saw that three different actresses played Eli, one who played the child, another one who did the voice and a third who played an elderly Eli. I don't remember seeing an elderly Eli. Did I miss something?

There are two scenes where we see an older actress portraying Eli.

We first see the other Eli when Oskar cuts his palm in order to make a pact with his friend, blood brothers. His blood drips onto the floor and Eli laps it up, this is when we see the alternate Eli for a brief moment, when Eli tells Oskar to leave (for his own safety).

The second time is when Eli wants Oskar to "Be me, for a little while" following on from him bleeding out in Oskar's hall.

The older actress isn't portraying an older Eli, but a weary, wiser soul that's been around for over two hundred years. Yeah, technically older, but that wasn't the point of those scenes.

There is also Esmeralda Nikolajeff, Lina's stunt double. She has grown up studying at the University of Dance and Circus, Sthlm.

I figure Nikolajeff is the one who climbs the tree. Note the heavy CGI of the face.

Yes, and the jump from the tree, I reckon.
