Josh Gad joins Disney’s live-action Beauty And The Beast
According to Variety, Josh Gad is the latest actor in talks for Disney’s live-action Beauty And The Beast musical, currently starring Emma Watson as Belle, Dan Stevens as the Beast, and Luke Evans as Gaston. Assuming things are finalized, Gad will play LeFou, Gaston’s bumbling, much-abused sidekick in Bill Condon’s upcoming adaptation. Though the character is a supporting one, LeFou handles most of the heavy lifting in the delightful song “Gaston.” And considering the main cast aren’t exactly known for their vocal prowess, it makes sense to round out the supporting players with people who have actually sung professionally.
