Someone wants to be Santa Claus.
In this video stint for late night TV show The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, veteran actor Liam Neeson is auditioning to be a mall Santa Claus. Perhaps he’s tired of being an A-list movie star and now prefer to just sit in malls taking photos with kids? Mmm, maybe.
It just seems like Neeson hasn’t yet let go of his action-star persona, though. In the clip, you’ll see him a little bit too grim, when he’s auditioning for the part of someone who’s supposedly one of the jolliest men you’ll know (if he truly existed).
