‘Santa Clause’ Star Eric Lloyd Shares Heartwarming Story of Meeting a Longtime Fan

With every Christmas season comes a rewatch of The Santa Clause films. Eric Lloyd, who played Tim Allen‘s son Charlie Calvin in the franchise, shared that he still gets recognized from the movie 30+ years after it was released.

Lloyd appeared in all three films alongside Allen. Despite an eight-year gap between the first and second film, Lloyd returned all grown up. There was only a four-year gap between the second and the third, so his appearance hadn’t changed much.
