Josh Gad 'relished' letting loose for Pixels.

Josh Gad has revealed he enjoyed trying to get a rise out of Navy SEALs in his new film, Pixels.

The Wedding Ringer funnyman gets to unleash his anger in one comedy scene, as he shouts at a group of burly servicemen.

“It was getting out a lot of aggression out of people who are much bigger and fitter than I am. I definitely did relish it, for sure,” he said.

“It was like, ‘I’ve been waiting years for this and now I have Sony security around me to protect me from you’. It was definitely fun, no holds barred.”

The 34-year-old comedian added: “The most fun in a scene like that is trying to make them break character, trying to make them laugh, so we have a lot of unusable parts because of that. They had to piece together a lot of that scene.

“This was one of those crazy, unhinged characters, when I read the script, I thought, ‘This is so stupid but this is so funny’. Chris Columbus just let me tear into it and have a blast.”
