One of actor Tim Allen‘s most memorable roles has been throughout The Santa Clause and its sequels. Now, however, one of his co-stars on the Disney Plus series The Santa Clauses has called out Tim Allen.
The Santa Clauses is the latest installment in the franchise which began with The Santa Clause in 1994. It gradually became popular enough for The Santa Clause 2 in 2002 and The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause in 2006. Since 2022 the Disney Plus series The Santa Clauses has continued the story with Tim Allen back as Scott Calvin aka Santa Claus.
According to his co-star Casey Wilson, however, Tim Allen is allegedly much more rude than he appears on camera. Wilson previously appeared in the first film of the franchise and reprised her role decades later for an episode in the 2022 series. Unfortunately, he memories of working with Allen aren’t fond at all.
As shared on her podcast, Bitch Sesh: A Real Housewives Breakdown, she calls working with the 70-year-old actor the “worst, truly single worst experience I’ve ever had with a co-star ever.” Apparently the experience included a moment when Tim Allen’s Santa character comes down a chimney and frightens Wilson’s character. Allen became upset while working on the scene and complained to a producer in front of Wilson.
“I basically hear him, he goes, ‘You gotta tell her to stop stepping on my lines,'” Wilson said. “The producer turns to me with horror on his face and has to walk one foot to me and he goes, ‘Tim would ask that you stopped stepping on his lines.'”
She emphasizes how allegedly little Allen acknowledged her:
“(He) never made eye contact, never said anything. It was so uncomfortable.”
Wilson also claims that his stand-in was “much nicer,” and that Allen was “a bitch.”
“It’s the end, and Tim Allen goes, ‘Leaving,’ takes his Santa cape, picks it up and drops it on the floor, and walks out,” Wilson added. “And they hustle in his stand-in; lovely man, who was much nicer to act against. People are scurrying to pick up his velvet Santa coat. He’s a bitch. And this is the best… I will not say who said this. This was someone that I do not know, perhaps in the crew. [He or she] breezes past me and just goes, ‘You’re seeing him on a good day.‘”
Casey Wilson says Tim Allen was “so fucking rude” on ‘The Santa Clauses’ set and that everyone was “walking on egg shells” around him:
