Josh Gad Calls 2011's Mardi Gras: Spring Break His 'Worst Film'

In his new memoir, In Gad We Trust, actor Josh Gad reflects on his career, highlighting his experience filming the 2011 comedy Mardi Gras: Spring Break, which he calls 'the single worst movie I have made — and will hopefully ever make — in my life.' Despite enjoying the camaraderie on set with co-stars like Regina Hall, Gad described the filming process as a 'waking nightmare' due to relentless studio interference that left the creative team with little control over the script. He expressed concern about being typecast in roles similar to his character, Bump, fearing it would hinder his aspirations to take on more diverse and serious roles. The film, a typical raunchy college comedy, failed to resonate with critics and audiences alike, further contributing to Gad's discontent with the project. His candid reflections serve as a reminder that even in Hollywood, not every project is a success, but each experience shapes an artist's journey. Gad's insights reveal the complexities and challenges he faced during his career, underscoring themes of resilience and personal growth.
