J.K. Simmons recently shared how his experience as a mall Santa ultimately led to his role as Santa Claus in the Christmas comedy film “Red One.” The actor, known for his portrayal of a muscular version of Kriss Kringle in the movie alongside Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, reflected on his brief stint as Santa at a mall at the age of 24. 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.

In a separate interview, Simmons recalled the mix of emotions he encountered while playing Santa, noting that a significant number of children were actually frightened of him. He humorously mentioned the awkward Polaroid moments with scared kids perched on his lap, highlighting the parents’ desire for that traditional holiday snapshot.

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.
