More than once, Santa has had the opportunity to appear on the big screen in various feature films, be it as human characters in disguise for the enjoyment of the little ones, or as the real Santa himself (yes yes!).
On the French side, the first thing that comes to mind is the famous “Trash” by Jean-Marie Poiret (which had an American remake with far from ridiculous casting), in this case Gerard Junio in one of his own. The most memorable roles from the early 80s. He plays Felix, a spineless, mythomaniac character and is sometimes violent towards his wife, but also with this kid who dares to take his Santa’s goat out and back and shamelessly punches him in the face. A gesture that would immediately cost him his side job.
On the other side of the Atlantic, many actors also had the opportunity to wear the famous red and white costume on stage. This was the case, for example, of Robin Williams, who two years later, when he had to dress up as Mrs. Doubtfire to watch his children watch the Chris Columbus film again, found himself dressed as Santa Claus. A scene from Jake Kasdan and Joe Johnston’s Jumanji.
Some animated films have also had the opportunity to present a very personal version of Santa Claus, as was the case in 2019’s Sergio Pablos’ Handsome Claus. The film bears the name of one of its main characters, a carpenter. Living in a chalet in the mountains, where he keeps a lot of hand-made toys, which he entrusts to Jesper, a young man who has just arrived in the polar city of Smerensburg, to distribute them to children.
Santa Claus, in this quiz you will find at least ten more masks, behind which actors and actresses are hiding, whose identity you will have to find. Are you going to treat yourself to a beautiful perfect this December 24th?
