Ahead of the holidays, VICTOR Wembanyama has assumed the persona of the great man himself.

The 19-year-old French celebrity recently gave gifts to children in his chosen community while sporting a large red outfit and a beard.

The San Antonio Spurs disclosed a video in which Wembanyama was seen getting fitted for a padded suit beneath his new look.

He remarked, “At least the kids can have a little fun, but I sure don’t hope they actually believe I’m Santa.” I’m also enjoying myself a little.”

Julian Champagnie, a Spurs teammate dressed like one of Santa’s helpers, remained by his side the entire time.

Even though Wembanyama is 7 feet 4 inches tall, the disguise wasn’t totally successful, fans still enjoyed seeing this side of him.

A admirer of the account tweeted, “The Tallest Santa to Ever Live.”

“How do you find a Santa suit to fit his big ahh?” inquired a second.

A third person said, “This is really hot. Envision Wemby himself decked out as Santa Claus in your living area.”

One person remarked, rather simply, “This is beautiful.”
