[@missjune1955]

Robbie has aged like fine wine, and I mean FINE!!!!....great hair, great voice, beautiful eyes and very grounded and humble

[@bluefoxpatton]

You said everything I was thinking! He is amazingly beautiful...

[@katerinastevanovic9772]

Absolutely agree ❤

He always says "GET OUT!" I'd like to hear him shout "Go ahead and starve!"

[@disneydisney1490]

Yesss “the full Go ahead and STAAAAARVE! If she doesn’t eat with me, she doesn’t eat AT ALL”

[@takakhan-z3w]

Answer: "GOD, yes!!!"

[@Endeavor2BMe]

Did NOT expect that harsh, scary voice to come out of someone as slender & well-spoken as him. LOL! Bravo, Robbie! It was nice finally seeing you voice the lines of the Beast I grew up with. 😄

[@Orlak3lly]

I don't care if he's 60, he's HOT! God bless Robby Benson :)

[@jojober1980]

he sure is :)

[@KathrynMerteuil29]

omg he's 60! whaaaa.

[@Orlak3lly]

KathrynMerteuil29 yup :)

[@TacoCat8891]

Orla Kelly God, yes he's hot! His voice, face, body everything!

[@maanbustamante]

60?! wtf seriously?! damn hot for a 60-yr old!!!!

[@pinksparkleange]

My mom used to clean his house and at the time I was little and of course I was brought with her. Robby is so nice and such an inspiration. He did the voice of the beast for me once.

[@elenasalvatore8262]

Ima cry for that omggg

Unbelievable!

Awesome.

[@camara1194]

You are SO lucky.

[@cristymagers5676]

Robby is so into this character The way he does his voice is heart throbbing. He was a teen heartthrob and he is winning us all over again.

[@emj1766]

Dang it, I was hoping for "Fine! Then go ahead and STAAARRRVE!!!!!" Either way though, this was great. Gotta love the guy. :)

[@Maya_k]

I was too, I love when he said that lol

[@WishfulThinkingArt]

Any line from the dinner invitation scene would be fair game! :-P

No kidding! That entire scene is hilarious. 😂

EmJ Jacobs I was hoping for when says "You come down to dinner or I'LL BREAK DOWN THE DOOR."

[@emilyhancock3456]

he literally looks like what the Beast should have looked like in his human form

[@deboratoribio7834]

Yes instead the beast is blond 😕 at least something that wouldve reflected a wolf lol

[@nenabunena]

@@deboratoribio7834 he looks like the prince from the little mermaid

[@deboratoribio7834]

[@TaraMetBlog]

agreed! the prince was so wimpy, wish he had looked like him instead

[@MsNita991]

Awesome how he can change the tone of his voice so drastically!!!

[@EnterpriseNCC-1701]

Ahhh he's a trained actor.

[@Ddrhl]

@@EnterpriseNCC-1701 Not all trained actors can. Voice actors, on the other hand...

[@EnterpriseNCC-1701]

@@Ddrhl Its called getting into character. Denzell is a New York native but he can change his voice reflection so you can't tell. Training Day and the Might Quinn were his finest work. So if your a decent trained actor. It shouldn't be too hard to suppress your native accent and get into character with a different voice reflection.

[@Ddrhl]

@@EnterpriseNCC-1701 And, not all trained actors can doesn't mean that no trained actors can. It means that some can and some cannot.

[@EnterpriseNCC-1701]

@@Ddrhl I think you're confusing yourself. I'll clean it up for you, okay. ANY seasoned and we'll trained actor can get into character and change voice reflections. See that's not so hard.

[@Weebs82589]

He still got it.

[@fabulousmyriad267]

He's aged gracefully...more than that, he's nice in person.

[@stainshield]

Plus he was the voice of JT Marsh from EXO-Squad.

[@JordanVanRyn]

Robbie Benson really embodied the Beast with his voice and his charm. Every time I hear it, it's so nostalgic. It can be both scary when he's angry and both romantic when he's kind and gentle. This dude is a quality voice actor as well as an actor.

[@LITTLE1994]

This man is so underrated. I never thought his normal voice is so different compared to when he did the Beast. When he said "GET OUT!!", I seriously can't help but laugh. He still got it!

[@VENUS.SE7EN]

My favorite Beast lines: (I crack up every time) Beast: The castle is your home now, so you can go anywhere you'd like. Except the west wing. Belle: What's in the west wing? Beast: IT'S FORBIDDEN!!! Beast: It would give me great pleasure if you would join me for dinner...please. Belle: No, thank you. Beast: You can't stay in there forever! Belle: Yes, I can! Beast: Fine! Then go ahead and STAAARRRVVEEE!!!

But she's being so difficult

[@nathancruz9172]

You will enjoy for dinner! That’s not the request!

[@lionessmummy4418]

One of the reason Beauty and the Beat is my favorite fairytale is because of him and that stunning voice of his. I can't help but also think they patterned the beast's eyes after Robbie's own eyes. His eyes are these beautiful light blue.

[@Vesnicie]

Lioness Mummy Absolutely. Traditional animators usually took facial expressions or appearance and worked them into the animation to give the character extra believability.

[@tplattn74]

Lioness Mummy. They actually DID create the beast's and the prince's look after Robby.

[@deborahhanna6640]

They obviously used his very distinct eyebrows too- but then had to make them ginger, (legal purposes?) which made the beast look strange.

[@KM-hv1jg]

He gave Beast a feeling of gentleness and loss.

[@joyvice8342]

Oh, Robby Benson, he filled my fantasies when I was in my teens. I bought every magazine that he was on. I saw him on One on One, Ode to Billy Joe, Ice Castles, Die Laughing, etc...More power to you, Robby!!!

[@krisstiebee9688]

I've always had a huge crush on him.🤣 Its funny, my favorite line from the movie is one word, when he gets a makeover and Lumiere says "You look so,,," and the Beast replies "stupid". The way he says it, it's so cute.🤣

[@VladSicoe]

He still got it. "GEEEEET OUT!"

[@MarsLeo749]

Robby is one of those actors you can' say anything negative about. And he's always interesting to listen to. Very easy on the eyes and ears.

[@Augiegrl12]

He's been a professor of film for 28 years?! How awesome!

[@stainshield]

He voiced JT Marsh from EXO-Squad.

[@misscindy1596]

Theres another good youtube video " Robby Benson feb 21 2014" its a where are they now oprah

[@gingergilmorehorner1433]

Omg! Those eyes & his voice still turn it on!

[@Chishannicon]

I love that Robby wishes that the Beast had never turned back into a prince. Pretty sure most of us agree!

[@emopeterparker7]

I do. Or at least his voice stayed the same and didn't change in anything

[@HeySay3]

why not? The prince of the beast is such a hottie!! XD

[@anaussie213]

He was great in "Running Brave" from 1983.

[@ramonalewis4830]

He's absolutely gorgeous. A great actor and writer.

[@LEFTaTIP]

When I think of Robby Benson, The movie "One on One" comes up, where his young adult BB player, character is under a brutal BB coach, which I think Robby wrote the movie script...??? But Robby, you're a Champion, a survivor, as well as being a consummate actor and director. This man has survived 4 open heart surgeries !!! As person with CHF, I just can't process those surgeries.

[@xiomanaxoxoxo3212]

Omg Robbie Benson is hands down the most gorgeous teen idol that ever lived stunning man! He still got it !

[@JulyN78]

And I just can't undersatnd why Disney couldn't use him again. It would bring him to light - acting wise, cause I know he's been directing - again... He is gorgeous... The new guy is beautiful too, but, man, this gauy is gorgeous.

[@kryptonianpowers]

He also auditioned for the role of Luke Skywalker before Mark Hamill was officially cast.

[@tmcneil516]

I guess I was one of the few people were wasn't surprised at all by this choice for the part of beast. I had remembered Robby Benson's range when he and I were both much younger and he had a rather sad and beautiful part in a movie (I can't remember the name of the movie) where he played a boy with a brain tumor. He was amazing, even at the age he was. I also knew he had (and still has) an amazing singing voice). Yes, this was a perfect choice for the part of 'Beast'.

[@Ddrhl]

I was in love with him (in the movies) as a kid, ever since Death Be Not Proud, but he has gotten ever so much handsome-r now! (well, it's 2022, so I'm only guessing here :) )
