The actor opened up about his 'regret' for using his own voice to play the beloved snowman in Frozen after it started drawing the attention of children at inopportune moments.

Josh Gad revealed he made one very "big mistake" when voicing Olaf in the massively successful Frozen franchise.

The actor, who voiced the beloved snowman in both 2013's Frozen and its 2019 sequel as well as its many shorts, opened up during a recent interview at Fan Expo Canada where he shared that if he could do it "all over again," he would change one thing.


Gad disclosed the "regret":

"I would not have lent that snowman my voice."
"I would've created a different voice."

He explained:

"It's very weird being in a supermarket and having a little child go like this."

The Wedding Ringer star tilted his head to the side ever so slightly.

He continued:

"That was my first big mistake."

But Gad also added:

"But, you know, people tell me I have a very unique voice."
"People seem to like my voice, so I try to give it to them when I can."

During an appearance on Live With Kelly and Mark on Tuesday, the Beauty and the Beast actor revealed that he found out about the upcoming third and fourth Frozen movies while he was on vacation in Greece.

"All of a sudden, my phone’s blowing up. And people are like, ‘Oh my God, I’m so excited about 'Frozen 3' and 'Frozen 4.'’ And I responded, '...So am I?’ I had no idea. Nobody thought to call us up and be like, ‘Oh, by the way, we’re doing two sequels to your movie(s).’"
"But I have since heard some things about it, and it is going to be unbelievable."
"I’m so excited about what they’re dreaming up right now. It’s pretty incredible."

Frozen 3 is expected to hit theaters November 24, 2027.

Rob Schneider Dragged For Criticizing Elizabeth Banks' 'Dangerous Rhetoric' After She Called Out White Female Trump Voters

After actor and filmmaker Elizabeth Banks—who played Effie Trinket in The Hunger Games—called out white women who voted for President Donald Trump, MAGA actor Rob Schneider lashed out against what he referred to as her "dangerous rhetoric."

Those who've read the book and seen the film adaptation of The Hunger Games know that Trinket—known for joyfully announcing, "Happy Hunger Games and the odds may be ever in your favor!"—is a mistress of propaganda for a hostile government that forces teenagers to fight to the death every year to intimidate critics and keep society's poorest and most vulnerable in line. Trinket eventually embraces the rebellion.

It seems that when the president you form your entire personality around craters to a catastrophic approval rating even for him, your ship starts to sink too.

Trump's Border Czar Ripped For Hypocrisy After Telling Pope Leo To 'Stay Out Of Politics'

President Donald Trump's border czar Tom Homan was called out for hypocrisy after telling Pope Leo XIV to "stay out of politics" after he clashed with Trump over the widely unpopular war in Iran.

Last week, Pope Leo criticized the war and called on the world "to reject war, especially a war which many people have said is an unjust war, which is continuing to escalate and is not resolving anything."
