... plays the wardrobe, agrees with Mc Kellen and said that “Beauty and the Beast” stands for diversity. “In the end, the film is about seeing past anyone's surface and looking on the inside. It's not only about learning to love someone else, but it's about learning to love yourself - and that's deeply human, and we all feel that no matter who we are or who we love,” she said. Lead star Emma Watson, who plays Belle, has also come to the defense of the film and raved about Gad’s performance. “I think that what’s so fantastic about Josh’s performance is that it’s so subtle,” Watson said. “It’s always like, does he idolize Gaston? Is he in love with Gaston? What’s the relationship there? And I think it’s incredibly subtle, to be perfectly honest,” she said during an interview with Entertainment Weekly on Sirius XM. But Ewan Mc Gregor, who brings Lumiere back to life in this version, poked fun at critics and insisted that there would be “a lot of gay sex in it.”. “There’s a lot of gay sex in this cartoon.

Gaston And Lefou's New Dynamic Explained

... contain the monster in a way. I love that. It’s almost like, Gaston is as thick as a stick and stays that way for the whole film. Josh, I have to ask you how does it feel for you to bring Disney into modern times with your take on Le Fou. Josh Gad: Well, I think that whole story has been so blown out of proportion to be honest. And, you know, it’s a shame that we have to have this conversation in this day and age. But, for me, I think what is so magical about this story is that, regardless of the time it’s set in, there are themes in it that are still as relevant today as they were when the book was first published. And this idea, the most important idea to me, is this idea of never judging a book by its cover. Now, more than ever, that is relevant. You have, you know, this character in Gaston who’s rallying all of these people to go and attack a being they’ve never met, that they’ve never seen before, and judging that creature before they get to know it. That to me is the relevance of it. I totally agree with you 100%. Josh Gad: ...

... (in theaters March 17) is just as charming, says the actor, who stars as Gaston’s sidekick Le Fou. “It literally is a film for everyone.”. Even for the macho guy who’s there under duress with his girlfriend? Yes, even him, says an emphatic Gad. “Coming from another show that a lot of dudes were dragged to, Book of Mormon, and never in their wildest dreams would have imagined enjoying a Broadway experience, I would offer that this holds the same potential for pure enjoyment and entertainment for them. With a lot less F-bombs.”. Last Slide Next Slide. Belle is an ideal modern woman. What single dude like the Beast (Dan Stevens) wouldn’t want to date a well-read, attractive girl like Belle (Emma Watson)? Heck, even Gaston (Luke Evans) won't shut up about her. “She is fiercely independent and unbelievably intelligent — her superpower is that she reads nonstop,” Gad says. “And she is the hero! She saves the Beast not once but multiple times.” What's key to Gad as the father of two young daughters (Ava, 6, and Isabella, 3): Belle is more role model than princess. "They can look up at her and say, ‘I can do anything I put my mind to ...

Josh Gad Champions Upcoming Beauty And The Beast Remake

... this article. 'Somebody that’s different. Somebody that only represents a danger because he says that he represents a danger.'. The news of Le Fou's sexuality has sparked some backlash, with a drive-in theater in Alabama refusing to the show the new film on account of the character. Speaking up: Josh Gad says portraying Disney’s first ever openly gay character is 'incredible'. It's not the first time Josh has spoken about his role as well. During the film's premiere earlier this month, AP reported Luke said the plot alteration that allows Le Fou - to become Disney's first ever LGBTQ character is 'subtle' but 'effective'. '[Director] Bill Condon did an amazing job of giving us an opportunity to create a version of Le Fou that isn’t like the original, that expands on what the original did, but that makes him more human and makes him a wonderfully complex character to some extent.

... questions about Rey and Finn and Poe and Kylo Ren and Supreme Leader Snoke that the next film will hopefully answer. A post shared by Josh Gad (@joshgad) on. Feb 20, 2017 at 4:59 am PST. However, I’ve been left wondering about a bigger question: WHAT THE HECK ARE JOSH GAD AND DAISY RIDLEY (AND DAME JUDI DENCH)(AND PENELOPE CRUZ)(AND HAMILTON’S LESLIE ODOM, JR.)(AND SO ON AND SO ON) DOING ON A MOVIE SET TOGETHER. Have you been confused by this? Because I’ve been confused by this. What kind of bonkers film could bring a jokester like Gad and an ingenue like Ridley and a titan like Dench together?

A film that I guess is garnering a crazy amount of hype even though it slipped completely past my radar? ( And I wrote Decider’s guide to Agatha Christie on streaming. ).

Watch Josh Gad And Luke Evans At The Piano With Disney Legend Alan Menken

... Atwood: Spring Arts Guide. March 11, 2017, 1:08 p.m. Watch Josh Gad and Luke Evans at the piano with Disney legend Alan Menken: 'Perfect adored paragooooon'. In the alarmingly beige conference room of a Beverly Hills hotel, the man who helped launch six princesses, more than a dozen musical films, and a national songbook of singalongs sits down at a piano. And immediately “beige” is no longer accurate. With just a few immediately evocative chords from Oscar-, Grammy- and Tony-winning composer Alan Menken, an equally familiar voice rises in glorious crescendo. “Perfect adored paragooooon,” sings Josh Gad, with that unmistakable combination of bravado and vibrato. It’s a sound he honed as Elder Cunningham in the original Broadway production of “The Book of Mormon,” made ubiquitous with his portrayal of “Frozen’s” beloved snowman Olaf and now brought to Disney’s new ...
