‘Frozen’ Star Josh Gad Joins ‘Beauty And The Beast’

A familiar “Frozen” face (well, voice) is heading to “Beauty and the Beast”!

Josh Gad, who voiced “Frozen’s” Olaf, has signed on to play Gaston’s bumbling sidekick, LeFou, in the upcoming live action “BATB,” according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The actor seemed to confirm the casting news on Twitter on Friday, posting a side-by-side shot of LeFou and himself striking a similar pose.

Josh joins already announced cast members Emma Watson (Belle), Dan Stevens (the Beast), and Luke Evans (Gaston), in the live action take on the 1991 animated fairy tale hit.

“Beauty and the Beast” is set to hit theaters in 2016.
