Description

For Tim Allen, revisiting his iconic lead role in ‘The Santa Clauses’ (November 16, Disney+) was more than just creating "content" for a nostalgic streaming audience. "We had a great responsibility,” he told Newsweek’s H. Alan Scott on the Parting Shot. For Allen, who is "humbled" to be "reminded that I have been part of Santa Clause," he wanted the new miniseries to "make sense for the adults like me." Part of that meant filling in some holes left by the original 1994 film, ‘The Santa Clause.’ "There's a wonderful scene where I meet up and get kind of chastised by all the other Santas that have come and gone." But ultimately what makes the role so relatable is "it's about a guy's journey and about making sacrifices." That's something Allen can relate to, given that his wholesome onscreen persona can be at odds with his onstage comic image. For Allen, who says sometimes "censorship is required," it's about how you communicate. "There are better words than the F bomb. I can't think of them, but there are other ways to say that. It is possible to be very intelligent and yet still be very firm with your words."Listen to our full chat and check out the feature in the latest issue of the magazine. https://www.newsweek.com/2022/11/25/tim-allen-humbled-santa-again-disneys-santa-clauses-1759786.htmlVisit Newsweek.com to learn more about the podcasts we offer and to catch up on the latest news.
