I have seen the episode but I don't think it counts as proof in my opinion. The real Hans Christian Andersen did singing and acting and wrote stories, he was never an explorer and never went in a submarine. They may share the same name but the events of their lives have created a unique individual.

In the case of film makers giving feature film characters an exact birthday date is often unimportant.
