Josh Gad’s Disneyland Paris holiday was cut short. The man known for voicing Olaf in the Frozen movies was in the City of Light to visit the Frozen-themed section of the park when unforeseen circumstances came up.
The father of two only just arrived in the French capital this week when word of his mother’s condition reached him. According to Josh, she is dealing with a “serious medical emergency.” As such, Josh had no alternative but to pack up and head home to be there for Susan.
Josh has asked his fans for their “prayers”
Tragedy can strike suddenly while revealing the depth of love. Like most people, Josh’s family comes first. His Instagram post begins by saying “so truly heartbroken” upon hearing about his mother. Josh says that because of the news back home, he didn’t get a chance to visit the World of Frozen area in the theme park.
While Josh didn’t get into specifics about his mother’s medical problems, it seems like the two are incredibly close. The man who originated the role of Elder Cunningham in the Broadway musical The Book of Mormon has posted plenty of pictures online with his mother, including a 2024 birthday tribute. During this tough time, Josh asked fans to “please keep my mom in your prayers.”
His role in the Frozen franchise has made Josh and many in the cast household names, including Idina Menzel. The lead who voices Elsa in the animated films had a reported net worth of $18 million last year.
It will be a busy 2026 for Josh with the third Angry Birds movie currently in production, while he will also feature in Orangutan. He is also set to co-star in Spaceballs 2 alongside Mel Brooks and Rick Moranis next year.
