Living for the Role in The Santa Clause 2
Who doesn’t love Tim Allen’s portrayal of the reluctant Santa in the Santa Clause? In both movies, the actor brought a cynical character to life and truly transformed into Santa himself. As it turns out, in Santa Clause 2, Tim Allen had to stay in character non-stop. That’s a lot of ho-ho-ho-ing, and the reason why may just surprise you.
No, Tim Allen was not on a mission to truly live the life of Santa, he had to stay in character for his co-actors. Remember who else stars in The Santa Clause series? A bunch of kids! Many thought the actor truly was Santa, so he could never break character less he shatters a million tiny hearts. Too cute.
