You guys are quite the father daughter duo, so Elizabeth, how good would you say? Is your dad at being santa?
Really? Uh 10, 10 times a million? Um So so yeah, with like one through 10 that I kind of just added a million, but it really doesn't, you know, he's, he's really just truly amazing at being santa and enhancing the character but also making it his own, so people, you know, say like when they think of santa claus, I think of him and I think of the character that he's made and created,
Yeah, what would you say? How's the behind the scenes vibe for you guys? Is it like you call him dad, like you call him santa, what is it like?
Um I can't tell you dad, but I usually, I worried at first about kind of making sure that there was a line between my father and my co worker, which was very weird to say, but I mean movie um but we just had so much fun, you know, I wasn't, I definitely did think about that before working on, I was like okay, is this gonna, I need to give them a space, you know, blah blah blah, but with what I can see um but I just, but we just had a blast together and you know joking around and just, you know, messing around on set and then as soon as they yelled action, it was just the scene, you know, there's nothing else to worry about into, you know, so it was,

So there's a whole scene with the legendary characters and Spencer breslin is also not, we couldn't get to that in my judge reinhold, Wendy Crewson, there's a lot of people that were in the original story that we couldn't get to and it said Bernard was always on that list. How do you fit him in? He's been retired for a while so there's a lot of issues with that. Ask him, it was a magic moment and just like you said, it's, it's it's so weird about this, it's like you just stepped off the set for the last time and now you're back here and nothing has really changed and it's partially because of the makeup. Once we're in makeup that I mean I literally look younger as santa now that I do like staying here, it's a little creepy. It was amazing to have him on and he drilled the part
