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.

Walz's appearance at the hearing comes amid conservative claims—offered with little supporting evidence—that Somali-run childcare centers in Minnesota improperly received public funds intended to support childcare for low-income families. Subsequently, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the FBI expanded their presence in Minnesota as federal authorities froze childcare funding statewide.

Elmo Just Asked His Followers 'Where Have You Been?'—And Zohran Mamdani Had The Purest Response

Elmo, the furry red childlike monster from Sesame Street designed by Caroly Wilcox, began his life as a generic "baby monster" background filler in the 1979-1980 season of the long-running children's television program.

Originally having a gruff voice supplied by various puppeteers, Elmo found his falsetto-voiced, loving persona when Kevin Clash took over in 1985. Elmo was transformed into a three-and-a-half-year-old character designed to connect with the show's audience of preschoolers.
