Simmons joked about his heavy smoking habit at the time, which didn’t make him the most appealing Santa for the kids visiting the mall. Despite the challenges, Simmons acknowledged that the experience helped him appreciate the complexity of interacting with children and their parents during the holiday season.

However, he now sees his role in “Red One” as a form of redemption, allowing him to portray a more endearing version of Santa Claus on the big screen.
