Actor and comedian Tim Allen revealed quite a bit yesterday about the movie projects he’s connected to like ‘Toy Story’ (which just released a very popular trailer for it’s upcoming 4th installment) and ‘the Santa Clause’. Allen starred in the light-hearted holiday film in 1994, and in this interview from the ‘Tonight Show’, he reveals he was originally going to kill Santa before assuming his role at the magical patriarch of the giving season. Yes, Allen was originally written to accidentally kill Santa in a home invasion scene before regretfully dawning the red velvet suit.

Allen continued to share how children would ask him awkward questions when he was in the Santa getup for long hours shooting the film, and how he would respond with some funny yet dark jokes.
