Gray Leprechaun said everyone ever about a british accent

[@natalias3502]

I swear 😍😍😍

[@tiarnaellen7758]

My favourite that he's done is Fall Of Giants by Ken Follett. The accents this man has under his belt is incredible!

Dan vioce like honey..🍯 When i heard that i cant breath because my heart beating soooooo fast

[@NE0VURSE]

god damn he was actually sexy as beast in the movie😂 loved it.

[@TweenGirl-ir4ye]

I wonder how Disney made Beast sexy looking despite him being made with CGI and a body suit........ but I don't care how he came to life in the movie! ( As him being the Beast, not transforming then coming back to life ) He looks hot and VERY attractive to me....... Disney, when are you going to have a 2017 Beast in y'all's parks?!

[@isselasantina3773]

AHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[@izzy156]

[@Pixelkvist]

I'm a straight guy but I think I'm in love with Dan Stevens now...

[@mlestoll]

Does anyone else want Dan Stevens to record an album of all the best musical pieces (ie. The Phantom of the Opera) in the style of the beast or is that just me?

[@TweenGirl-ir4ye]

Emily Stoll, I want that too! Especially How Does a Moment Last Forever......

[@mlestoll]

If there's any confusion, I wasn't referring to his computer altered beast voice, I just meant his actual singing voice but when he trained it to sound more 'beastlike'. Because he also sang 'the rainbow connection' in a previous film, and he sounded totally different, so that's what I'm referring to. I feel like people can get that confused, lol.

[@bangsfernandez]

I could listen to his voice all day long

[@elliewfreeman]

I'm from Kansas and I must say his mid-western mom impression was spot on.

[@svyproductions5367]

I DEMAND A DELETED SCENE OF DAN TOPLESS

[@onlytwogenders6734]

Look up The guest bathroom scene you'll see Dan Stevens topless

[@laurenstich1049]

@@onlytwogenders6734 AND Dan has many, many shirtless scenes in his other movies, not just The Guest (his most famous) -- such as in Vamps, Hilde, The Ticket, Permission, Apostle, and The Line of Beauty. Also a few shirtless scenes in TV series, "Legion". Haven't seen The Rental yet, but have heard he does a hot tub season there as well. And of course, while not exactly shirtless, all of his scenes in Eurovision are basically showing a sculptured chest......

[@veronicaliang5091]

well, if the majority of those tested audiences are young girls, they would say "if he's naked top down, he should be naked bottom down, why the hell he wear pants?"

[@TweenGirl-ir4ye]

Veronica Leong, 😂 I'm 11, so I guess that I'm a young girl? I ( of course ) would say that! But have his ( clears thought ) middle covered with rose petals.

[@J1283-s1k]

One of my favourite current actors. Yet another one who should routinely be top billing in the mainstream movies but has only occasionally been featured as the starrer in the more well known films, despite clearly being a terrific leading man.

[@jessatorrefiel5045]

his voice is ❤😁😁😁

[@lyssassong]

LOL his midwest mom sounded more like a southern one. I lost it. hahaha

[@natalieloves13]

Have some moms not seen the animated movie where he transforms with pants on?! Lol what have you done, who are these mothers

[@scgtlp]

As a Midwestern woman, those people do NOT speak for the rest of us! :-P

[@natalieloves13]

I'm also from the midwest and definitely don't find people who speak like that around me haha

[@danagrace8137]

NaTaLiE343 In the animated version he also had the shirt on, but it was two times larger because he shrank in the transformation so it pretty much just showed his bare chest.

[@aaricn04]

Dana Grace in the animation the transformation he had a really torn shirt

[@isabellagrace6566]

NaTaLiE343 DAMN IT DAMN MIDWESTERN MOTHERS WITH THEIR INNOCENCE!! WE WANT HOT SHIRTLESS DAN

[@simmsquee]

Oh. My god. Dan's midwestern mom accent. Just. Wow. Thanks, middle America. This is why we can't have nice things!

[@rubykrussg]

[@da96103]

Should have had two versions. One for midwesterns and one for non-midwesterns.

[@rubykrussg]

oh yes! please!!

Hope this will be included in the deleted scene!

Let's pray the shirtless transformation will be on the DVD.

[@emsjohnson3138]

It's not tho :(

[@mariahramos2321]

How he can change his voice quickly is so astonishing! I'd love to see Dan read out a script with different voices.

[@athanoslee]

Mariah Ramos He did a lot of audio books.

[@danagrace8137]

Mariah Ramos Lol! Yeah, when you're an actor and do a lot of vocal practices transitioning from one accent to another, or from one vocal tone range to the other, quickly can get easy to do. It's awesome how well he can do it. I love it! :)

[@jaimiedickinson788]

He actually did quite a lot of audiobook recordings!

[@grannygumjobs8280]

Mariah Ramos it's not hard

[@TG-cy6ie]

Priscilla Jackson Man I would listen to any book if he was reading it!

[@bellamoura946]

What is wrong with him being shirtless?!!!!!!!!!! It's just his chest !!! It's not like he'd be fully naked! That end would be perfect. But I like the way it ended too

[@missrichteaars5332]

They did it for Gaston too :( They didn't think the "And every last inch of me's covered with hair' bit would be family friendly.

[@samanthanyarko9166]

MissRichTeaa RS It's funny since it was appropriate enough for the animated, G rated movie

[@missrichteaars5332]

I know right? Oh well, I can always look at shirtless men elsewhere.

[@EricAriel5]

He wasn't shirtless in the animated,his shirt was ripped revealing part of his chest though.

[@galacticjewels7856]

Well he said the mothers were thinking "well if he's naked from the top down he must be naked from the bottom down" so my guess is the scene had roses covering his bottom down or something.

[@butterflygirl1987]

I'm kinda glad they reshot it because coming out of Rose petals sounds super cheesy. The shirtless part would have been great though.

[@SarahB1863]

I agree, although they needed to keep the camera on the prince for a few more seconds after he turned around. You don't get a very good look at his face, and in the original animated version it's a BIG moment. In this movie they cut away too quick. I do agree that the rose petal scenario sounds OTT, but I would like to see it, so I hope it's in the deleted scenes.

[@EricAriel5]

He does still have roses surrounding him in the movie,just with a shirt.

[@EricAriel5]

The film is very Rose themed,The Prince refuses a rose from the Enchantress and ends up cursed,Belle had a rose rattle as a infant,she has clothes with rose prints,her father always brings her back roses every time he goes out of town,then gets inprisoned for taking one from Beasts castle for her,but he have roses surrounding him in the version we saw onscreen,just with a shirt added,thanks to prudish mom's.

[@sebsandford]

His performance of Evermore in the movie is amazing. I can’t stop listening to my new favourite Disney song.

[@AirwrekaDoesntRead]

I'm amazed that he hasn't been scouted now to do broadway or something! His voice is absolutely incredible, especially for not having had formal training before!

[@laurenstich1049]

Actually, Airwreka, he did The Heiress on Broadway in 2012 and started previews of Hangmen in early 2019 but then COVID-19 closed down all shows. He is a huge draw for Broadway audiences -- and he absolutely LOVES Broadway. Once the pandemic is over, you can be sure he will once again be thrilled to do a Broadway show.

[@AngelofMusic04]

See him in "The Guest". He's incendiary.

[@igneo.s4554]

To me, when watching the movie, one of the most surpising things was Beast singing. And I think that he has such a bass voice when singing in the movie because it reminds me of villans' voices, as they are always really low; even though his speaking voice kinda sounds tenor-ish, I wonder how he managed to sing like that, and if he's actually a bass.

[@aliciacctx9610]

I want to see that rose emergence scene!

[@laurenstich1049]

Well, then, you should really watch 21-y-o Dan in 2006's "The Line of Beauty". Incredibly sensitive and intelligent portrayal of being gay in 1980's London during the time of Margaret Thatcher's conservative rule and the emergence of AIDS. Very touching performance.
