8 Casting Decisions In Upcoming Movies That Are Completely Perfect

7. Josh Gad - LeFou (Beauty And The Beast)

It cannot be argued that there is a human person better suited to playing Gaston's little stooge, LeFou, in Disney's upcoming adaptation of Beauty And The Beast, than Josh Gad. There is no way that Gad wasn't born to play LeFou - it's almost as if everything he has done thus far as led him towards this part as the kind of insufferable but somehow adorable sidekick to the animated film's iconic villain. Disney have got the casting of Beauty And The Beast pretty spot-on (there's another entry later in our list from it that also defines perfection), but there are a few stand-out choices and this is one of them. Gad has worked with Disney before on the animated film Frozen, in which he played the loveable comic snowman character, Olaf. Here, he's going to be a bit more of an antagonist, but you can bet that - above all - he's going to be hilarious. Oh, and he can sing, too, which is brilliant given that this is a musical. So... Darn... Excited...
