10 years after its release, Frozen is still an all-time favorite. The Disney classic had its one-decade anniversary on November 27, and some of the cast members shared their favorite memories from the film. Let’s go through some photos and see what the actors are doing now and where they are in life.
Idina Menzel as Elsa
Idina Menzel is a Tony winner and voiced the Frozen princess Elsa. The talented singer and actress shared that she loved being a part of the movie that changed the life perspective of many. She also commented on the responsibility that came with being a role model for empowerment and self-esteem.
We had already seen her on stage in Rent, Wicked, If/Then, and on television in Glee before Frozen premiered. Apart from filming both Frozen movies, Menzel has also released music albums and starred in You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah on Netflix. The actress is married to Aaron Lohr and has a 14-year-old son with ex-husband Taye Diggs.
Kristen Bell as Anna
Kristen Bell was also well-known before accepting the role of Anna. Some of her most popular TV series are Heroes, Veronica Mars, Gossip Girl, and Party Down. Kristen previously commented on how Frozen broke the typical norms of Hollywood princess films and showed that the love you have for your family is more important than any other love.
We also saw her in Bad Moms, House of Lies, The Good Place, and a Veronica Mars reboot. Bell is married to actor Dax Shepard, and the two have daughters, Lincoln, 10, and Delta, 8.
Jonathan Groff as Kristoff and Sven
Jonathan Groff is yet another Broadway actor who got a role in Frozen; well, two roles, technically! He voiced both Kristoff and Sven in the movie and smashed both roles.
Previously, he had starred in My Life and Spring Awakening. We also watched him in Glee and Boss. In 2015, Groff got the part of King George in Broadway’s Hamilton, which brought him another Tony nomination and a Grammy win.
Josh Gad as Olaf
Olaf is the star of the Frozen movie, and Josh Gad, who voiced him, had several roles in TV before filming the Disney hit. He had starred in Back to You and Woke Up Dead. He also appeared on Broadway in The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee and The Book of Mormon (he even got a Tony nomination for it). Although Frozen is extremely popular among kids, the actor shared that his kids “hated” when he voiced Olaf at home.
Josh Gad appeared in a few other Disney productions, such as the live-action Beauty and the Beast. He also recently reunited with The Book of Mormon costar Andrew Rannells on Broadway’s Gutenberg! The Musical! The actor is married to Ida Darvish and they have two daughters, Ava, 12, and Isabella, 9.
Santino Fontana as Prince Hans
Yes, Santino Fontana has also appeared on the stage of Broadway in Billy Elliot the Musical and Cinderella before voicing Prince Hans. Although he didn’t have a role in Frozen II, Fontana has since starred in Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, Shades of Blue, and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. Now he’s back on Broadway with the musical Fallen Angels. The actor is married to Jessica Hershberg, and the two have a 4-year-old child.
Needless to say, the cast of Frozen are thriving in their careers, be they on stage, on television, or the big screen. We can’t wait to see what projects come from the stars in the future!
