Josh Gad's house is a funhouse-mirror version of most homes with young children, he told David Letterman on Tuesday night's Late Show. Gad, who voiced the snowman Olaf in Frozen, said his daughter is the one who is no longer enthralled with the Disney blockbuster, and he is still a fan. When his daughter starts talking about how much she loves Big Hero 6, he points out that Frozen is paying for her house and private school, Gad joked. "We love Olaf in this house."
Which led to an odd discussion about how much Gad earned from the movie. "The thing made a couple of billion, and I made a couple of thousand," Gad said. Letterman protested that surely he was joking, to which Gad replied "no, they actually paid me very well" — while shaking his head to signal they didn't. "I love you Disney, I really do," he added with a laugh, when Letterman called him out on his mixed signals. "They actually really took care of us," he added, somewhat cryptically, before confirming that Disney is making a Frozen sequel. Smart move, Gad. —Peter Weber
