It was truly the worst experience I've ever had with a co-star… It's the end of [filming] and Tim Allen says, 'I'm leaving!' He takes the Santa cloak, picks it up, drops it on the ground and walks out. And they replace him; the lovely man, a much nicer man to play against. People rush to get the velvet Santa coat. And that's the best… I won't say who told me this. It was someone from the crew I maybe didn't know. (He) walked past me and said: 'You're seeing [Allen] on a good day.'".
