Of all the wonderful things about this year's Beauty and Bengali Archivesthe Beastremake, Gaston ranked somewhere near the very top. As played by Luke Evans, he was so perfect – a pure paragon! – that he very nearly outshone the beauty and the beast themselves.
What I'm trying to say here is that I wouldn't have traded Evans' performance in that movie for anything. Or so I thought until this bombshell dropped.
SEE ALSO: Star Wars, Marvel and Pixar will go exclusively to Disney streaming. Do not be alarmed.In an interview with People, Idris Elba revealed that he'd gone out for the role once upon a time. "I honestly love musicals," he confessed. "I auditioned for Beauty and the Beast. I really did. For Gaston. I called and said, ‘Listen, I want in!’ So somewhere they have a tape of me singing."
Sadly, Elba isn't sharing that tape with anyone. But you canhear him sing a few notes at the 1:00 mark in this video.
And you know what? I'm honestly torn. On the one hand, this is Idris Freaking Elbawe're talking about. He oozes masculine charm without even trying. (Check out that little wink when he's done singing!) It's hard to think of anyone better suited for the role of a macho muscle man than Elba.
Disney knows it, too – they've put his velvety voice to good use in films like Zootopia, The Jungle Book, and Finding Dory(albeit not in singing roles).
On the other hand ...
Evans flat-out crushed it. I can't say he struck me like the obvious choice when his casting was announced, but I walked out of the film looking like this 😍😍😍 over his work in it.
I don't know, you guys. I'm having a real emotional crisis here. Am I really going to be someone who argues againstElba in a role? Then again, am I really going to pretend like Evans wasn't incredible in the role? Who am I? What do I even stand for anymore? This is breaking my brain. Send help.
