It’s good for the movie, but I don’t think Josh Gad’s daughters should enjoy his new look like a bearded dwarf on Disney+, the guy is a character actor, we get it! but his daughters don’t and shouldn’t. If I were small, I would hate to see my dad as a bearded dwarf, but now that I’m young enough- I’ll just laugh! And not just this Gad has also been a singing snowman named Olaf, Gaston’s sidekick LeFou in “Beauty and the Beast”, and now a cute-looking bearded fellow who can’t change a light bulb – Mulch Diggums in Artemis Fowl.
“At first I tried to convince them that daddy really did completely change his look and that this was my new face. They were like, ‘Really? But we want to see your face dada.’ I’d be like, ‘Alright.’” he described his experience with his daughters.
Gad, in his new look, totally dominates the character, sources say that his make-up took two hours every day on the set. He has a great and long beard, dirt around the face and a deeper voice, yes, now you understand why his daughters were displeased, right?
Gad narrates a story about a young boy, Artemis Fowl, who, while being a genius, hunts down a secret realm of fairies, in the search of his lost father. Artemis Fowl is played by Ferdia Shaw while his father is played by the multiple award-winning Colin Farell. Based on Eoin Colfer’s 2001 novel of the same name, Artemis Fowl is directed by Sir Kenneth Branagh, it is the second collaboration between Gad and Branagh after Murder on the Orient Express. The movie, due to the pandemic, had to be released on Disney+.
