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.

Looking back on his time as a mall Santa, Simmons admitted that it wasn’t the most enjoyable job and that he had tried to block out the memories for over four decades. 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.

“Red One” is currently showing in theaters, offering audiences a fresh take on the classic holiday film genre. content in a more concise manner without changing the meaning:
