The 59-year-old actor and director said that when the kids are just three years old, you’re just trying to keep them in line generally, so he came up with a way to get them to behave during the time. George said when his twins misbehave, he tricks them into thinking that he’s talking to Santa Claus. He further stated that when his kids are asleep in the morning and later start making noises, and when he hears the two of them arguing or fighting, he stands outside the door and goes on to say ‘Oh hi Santa!’. After gaining their attention, he continues ‘Ho ho ho! What are you doing here Santa?’ and adds, ‘Oh, I’m just making sure that the kids are being good kids’.
