No one forgets the lyrics like Gaston!

[@toohottohandle0_0]

anyone know what they said to each other when he forgot the lyrics?

[@tamira1060]

我是人 I thought I heard Josh saying: should I do this one? Luke said: It's your line

[@SafetySpooon]

Oh, Josh Gad is *perfect* for this.

[@SEH221]

SafetySpooon honestly they should revive the show on Broadway for him.

[@angelfire2510]

SEH221 they should also do it for Luke as well. I mean Luke brings such darkness and evil to Gaston like no one else can do. Not even in the animated version. Even when Luke sings the mob song such darkness and evil. He's perfect. Let's not forget Josh Gad as Lefou. He gave Lefou life. Those 2 together Luke and Josh are incredible together. They should do more movies together.

[@angelfire2510]

SafetySpooon So is Luke Evans. I can't imagine no one more perfect to play Gaston than Luke Evans. I also can't imagine no one more perfect to play Lefou than Josh Gad. Those 2 should do more movies together.

[@sarahtiara1691]

Huh. i'm not a movie buff. i tot it was Antonio Banderas...and so it's Luke Evans.

[@angelfire2510]

sarah tiara antonio would've done a terrible job at playing Gaston.

[@daviidarkangelx8224]

So cute how Luke seems like the opposite of his character- seems shy & nervous instead of cocky and arrogant.

[@katherinedavenport2267]

It's the combination which is so disarming and attractive. I add the Loving, Nurturing, Earth Motherin my

So I just want to point out that Luke Evans has now played a badass vampire, Zeus - the Greek God, and Gaston from Beauty and the Beast. That, my friends, is called "range."

[@DeadmanInc336]

JessBeautyJunkie , he ain't got nothing on Liam Neeson who trained Batman, Obi-Wan Kenobi, lead the A-Team, and is both a Greek and Narnian god. ;)

[@JessBeautyJunkie]

Agreed. I actually preferred Liam's Zeus to Luke's. Liam's more closely resembled the Zeus I always pictured growing up (my father is a philosophy professor...Greek mythology tales were my bedtime stories) :)

Luke evans nailed it as gaston and the voice is SPOT ON.dont care what anything says different.

Josh Gad's voice is amazing, from Book of Mormon to Frozen to B&B, he really sings well!

[@SEH221]

Sheridan Su and he has super wild variety/range? he can do a kinda jokey voice but can also sing with a super deep and rich tone! he's awesome!!!

Bro he has a channel😂

Yes

Josh, Luke, and Alan are the best.

[@shpei88]

It's crazy how I was totally unaware of Luke Evans musical theater chops. He's fabulous as Gaston. And Josh Gad is of course perfect.

[@HPofNARNIA]

Josh Gad stole the show.

[@NStacey1987]

HPofNARNIA yes he did.

[@ElsaAnggrainiDarwin]

All I can hear is Olaf

[@Disney65Fan]

Elsa Anggraini Darwin Lol same. Josh Gad will always be known as Olaf the snowman.

[@sarahmcmann5253]

Elsa Anggraini Darwin same he's adorable

[@sammmtee1730]

Elsa Anggraini Darwin I never hear olaf Josh Gad was a Broadway stat originally. I personally hear him as elder Cunningham from book Morman but everyone has their opinions

[@licia1427]

I am hearing Elder Cunningham.

[@abigailmeyer8519]

Charlie Brown SAME when u think about it lefou and elder Cunningham r literally the same character

[@jasminerachmadi5531]

THIS IS SOOO GOOD! Omg Luke's voice is just so good!!! Could someone figure out the new lyrics tho? The one about hunting and all? I missed the old lyrics but I think the changes are amazing as well! So excited for the studio version!

[@PezGirl77]

From what I could tell, these are the new lyrics: Who plays darts like Gaston? Who breaks hearts like Gaston? Who’s much more than the sum or his parts like Gaston? I needed encouragement, thank you LeFou Well there’s no one as easy to bolster as you When I hunt I sneak up with my quiver And the beasts on the field say a prayer First I carefully aim for the liver Then I shoot from behind (Is that fair?) I don’t care! Who has brains like Gaston, entertains like Gaston? Who can make up these endless refrains like Gaston?

[@JoshFreilich]

*Brains like Gaston

[@JoshFreilich]

Oh, and those "new" lyrics are by Howard Ashman! Yeah, that's right, they were CUT from the first movie. (As well as "Say it again, who's the man among men?" -- it made it to the album, but I don't think made it past the storyboards)

[@PezGirl77]

Thanks, I fixed it. I guess that line wasn't technically new since it was in the Gaston (reprise) song. I don't think the new film has the reprise though.

[@InsideTheMagic]

*Bolster

Im sorry but i was distracted by Luke Evans' hotness

3:20 I didn't know that Gaston's song could be that hilarious even for improvising the lyrics and they nailed it! XD

woahhh Josh Gads vocie is amazing!!!!!!!!!

My Favourite lines are the "Too much? Yup." and "Is that fair? I don't care.'"

Anyone else notice the lyrics are understandably different then the cartoon version?

[@DisneyFanatic2364]

Some of them were actually lyrics originally written for the cartoon movie but then changed/cut.

tunedude19 no more every last inch of him coverdale in hair

[@HalMarie]

GO TRUCK YOURSELF ! coverdale... don't you mean covered in? ah, who cares?

[@armityle27]

I find Luke Evan's voice is not deep enough (Although admittedly, no live action Disney movie will escape scrutiny for having different actor from the original voice), but he's certainly has the mannerisms and look down, and most definitely is he a great actor. Josh Gad, however, 100% on Le Fou. I'm excited to watch this.

[@assfaultthearmadillo4687]

Luke Evans looks like he could play a friendly pirate, while Gaston looks like he's on steroids. I like the character, but I genuinely think he looks like that

[@jmacfn1]

I think it also depends on what video of him you watch, because in this one his voice is very much higher than it should be; but in a video where he's singing with Hugh Jackman, it's a bit deeper.

[@silviaroveri]

jmacfn1 Yes, I agree! Also in Beauty and the Beast's Behind the scenes, there are Josh Gad and Luke Evans in the recording studio, and he has a deeper voice! For sure, during the LA premiere he was very excited, he was singing in front of so many people!!! I think he's a great actor and he's good at singing... No one else would have been better than him to play Gaston!

[@Nazaba09]

it's pretty obvious they were having fun with this and not giving it their 100% (not that i mind) but for example, if luke had practiced, he wouldn't have forgotten the lines.

[@armityle27]

I didn't say anything about them not trying or their performances being bad... I only state Luke's voice just doesn't resonate as Gaston in a comparison from having enjoyed the animated film, which is fine since no live action will be able to mimic (nor should it) the animated film.

[@emilydominko]

Luke Evans has a great voice! He'd be perfect as Sky Masterson in the remake of Guys and Dolls!!

[@gstan4298]

I know this show so well that I feel freaked-out whenever they change even ONE word, but these guys are brilliant!! CAN NOT WAIT!🥀

[@feralpixiedreamgirl]

They are both so perfect! I can't stop fangirling!

[@IAmNotNicolex]

They did great casting these two!!!! They're the ones I'm looking forward to seeing in this movie. No one else 😂

[@vandra947]

I remember watching this in cinema and I'm very impressed with Josh Gad!! He is so great! And Luke Evans really looks like Gaston!

[@tabscollins]

Luke Evans voice range is so high for gaston but i really like it😂

[@MA-oz5ws]

F*ck the wait is really killing me. Spent the last few months following on BatB news, interviews, etc.! 9 days left!

[@whatdoyousuppose]

This was the best number to be reprised from the original to the live action, it was so fun to watch the tavern atmosphere, Josh & Luke work so well off each other!

[@ADAM-uf3my]

woah. Luke and Josh's voices are incredible!!!!

[@baela4220]

Is it just me or is Josh really cute at 0:36 and Luke at 1:03 ? Gosh... AND THEIR EYE CONTACT WHEN LUKE SANG "THEY'LL TELL YOU WHOSE TEAM THEY PREFER TO BE ON". Sorry for that.

[@mepp30]

Josh Gad is so perfect for Le Fou that it hurts

[@ActorsWithIssuespodcast]

That moment Luke belts out an A like it's nothing, bravo! Can't wait to see the movie!

[@rmc10141991]

they left out biceps to spare and every last inch of me is covered in hair, those are like two of the best lines in the song

[@Nazaba09]

rmc10141991 they basically left out everything that makes Gastón, Gastón. The wedding scene, the 'ITS not right for a woman to read'. They toned him WAY the hell down, sadly.

[@paralelogramog.1197]

rmc10141991 The quiver part, the sword fight part, the table dancing part and the "Who can make up these endless refrains like Gaston" fix it and make the number WAYYYYY better than the original.

When Luke says about "who's team they prefer to be on" Josh started laughing because they were referring to being gay. I think it's great they had a gay character and it's really different for Disney
