Yahoo Movies Your Christmas or Mine 2’s Asa Butterfield "wrestled" a goat for new sequel
Your Christmas or Mine 2 star Asa Butterfield has revealed that he was so committed to the festive sequel that he even wrestled a goat during filming.
The first film follows James (Butterfield) and Hayley (Cora Kirk) as a young couple who spontaneously decide to surprise each other for Christmas but while on their respective train journeys, they pass each other and inadvertently swap Christmases.
This sequel, which will be released on Prime Video on December 8, follows the couple on another Christmas-swapping caper. The film features a goat named Claus as part of the story and he became a troubling castmate for Butterfield.

"Claus was a bit of a diva, I’m going to be honest. Claus came on set and he just trotted around like it was his palace. He had his good days and his bad days – and on his bad days, he really let you know," joked Butterfield, star of Sex Education.
"He was funny, we had a lot of drama with Claus. By the end of the shoot he was a pro. We wrestled at one point – like deliberately – it wasn't like we just decided to wrestle the goat. I was trying to wrestle him into his pen and I felt bad."
His co-star Kirk added: "No animals were harmed in the making of Your Christmas or Mine 2."

Butterfield then revealed that a fake stand-in was used for Claus in some instances, explaining: "We had a fake Claus, when Claus couldn’t hit his mark or just needed a break we had a fake Claus which was really bizarre."
Your Christmas or Mine 2 is released on Prime Video on December 8.
