He went on to say, “And he goes, ‘Listen, mate, I need you to do a voice message for my kids as Olaf.’ And so I did it, and I said, ‘I am Olaf.’ He goes, ‘No, no. Do it again.’ He had me do it like six times because he didn’t like the quality of the first five.”

“And I actually started to tear up. I go, ‘Are you serious?’ She’s like, ‘Yeah, I really miss it. I want to see it again.’ It was beautiful. It was actually really beautiful … seeing her almost nostalgic for it because she’s [nearly] 15 was kind of amazing. It was a really cool experience,” he further added.
