Mar 19, 2020 by apost team

Josh Gad, the voice actor for Olaf in the hit Disney film Frozen, is using his twitter account to read bed-time stories to children who are currently in self-isolation. 

The actor uses his talents in voice acting while reading the stories, which makes them even more entertaining. 

Gad also took the opportunity to get real about the struggles of self-isolation. In a recent tweet, he called homeschooling a “nightmare,” something many other parents can probably relate to. 

In a live broadcast, the actor also praised teachers for their work in educating children.

“A special shoutout to all of you teachers out there, who make it look so darn easy,” he said. “Because man, it really isn’t. Kids are tough.”

Gad is also using his social media account to thank medical workers and shop clerks for their tireless work amid the current crisis and is urging people to stay home.

“Please take this seriously folks,” he tweeted. “If people do not stop going to clubs, bars, etc. the infection will overwhelm our hospitals and make what doesn’t have to be a tragedy, turn into one of the greatest disasters in the modern era. Socializing can wait!”

The actor has read many children’s classics so far, including Dr. Suess’ Hooray for Diffendoofer Day, Shel Silverstein’s The Giving Tree and Jon Scieszka and Lane Smith’s The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs.

 His reading sessions have since been dubbed #GadBookClub.
