What made Josh Gad write his memoir?

In an exclusive conversation with People, the 43-year-old actor said that after reading other people's words for decades, he chose to write some of his own and In Gad We Trust: A Tell Some is the result of it. “I can’t wait to take readers on a journey tackling everything from a Snowman to a Mormon to a grown man,” he said.

In the upcoming memoir, the Tony Award nominee told the publication that he will write about several topics including his big break into the entertainment world, Robin Williams' mentoring, and how many once doubted his achievement. Gad will also discuss personal experiences, like how he battled with his weight and self-image issues and how the divorce of his parents had a "lasting impact" on him.


Gad also expressed his excitement to share his experiences with his fans as he spoke about tackling a variety of subjects starting with the letter “F” including fame, fatherhood, faith, Florida, and secrets from some of your favorite films. “Even topics that don’t begin with the letter F, all while giving you something hilarious and brutally honest to read,” he added.
