Josh Gad regrets using his own voice in “Frozen” because he was freaking kids out at the grocery store

"If I could do it all over again, I would not have lent that snowman my voice," he said at a fan expo event recently.

Looks like Josh Gad is just going to have to, well, let it go.

The actor, who voices fan-favorite snowman Olaf in the Frozen film franchise, expressed some regrets around bringing his own voice to the animated character during a recent appearance at Fan Expo Canada.

"If I could do it all over again, I would not have lent that snowman my voice," he can be heard saying in a clip from the event shared to TikTok.

"I would have created a different voice because it's very weird being in a supermarket and having a little child go like this," he explained, before acting out a child slowly turning their head to gawp at him.

Gad continued, "So that was my first big mistake, 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."

And give it to them he has — Gad first originated the character in 2013's Frozen, and reprised it for the sequel in 2019. Olaf's (and Gad's) unique speaking voice have also appeared in several Frozen-themed shorts and extras. He's also slated to play the beloved snowman again in 2027's Frozen III, which is currently in pre-production, and presumably in the fourth film, whenever that comes.

Earlier this week, the actor stopped by Live with Kelly and Mark and revealed how he learned about those upcoming sequels while he was on vacation in Greece.

"All of a sudden, my phone’s blowing up," he said. "And people are like, ‘Oh my God, I’m so excited about Frozen III and Frozen IV.’ 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," Gad added. "I’m so excited about what they’re dreaming up right now. It’s pretty incredible."

Gad's comments at Fan Expo Canada echo sentiments he's made in the past about funny Frozen fan encounters. He told PEOPLE in an interview in 2019, "There was an incident recently where I was trying to tell my daughter not to do something because it was unsafe, having this moment of pure unadulterated parenting, and a kid comes up to me and is like, 'Is Olaf mad at his daughter?'"

“The child was so confused,” Gad continued. “There were so many layers to pull back and understand: ‘Why do you have this guy’s voice?’; ‘Does Olaf have children?’; ‘Or are you pretending?’ But yeah, I get recognized by my voice all too often.”
