Crossword Genius

Naive, like Simon? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

callow

This clue is a double definition.

'naive' is the first definition.
('callow' can be a synonym of 'naive')

'like simon?' is the second definition.
(Simon Callow)

(Other definitions for callow that I've seen before include "23 [BRIGHTONIAN] actor" , "Immature and inexperienced, as youth often is" , "Inexperienced or innocent" , "Jejune" , "lacking experience of life" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
