Gaston And Lefou's New Dynamic Explained

... a fox. So that he is sort of not what he seems in terms of his intelligence and he’s, I think, a little bit smarter, a little bit wiser, and also, he doesn’t just blindly follow. He was so witty. Josh Gad: Yeah, he’s witty. Luke Evans: Quick. And that’s what is different. Josh Gad: That’s what’s different. Luke Evans: What I love about the new dynamic between Gaston and Le Fou is that he’s not a walkover anymore. He’s not a doormat. He’s not the brunt of everyone’s jokes. In fact he’s, I’d say, he’s probably much cleverer than Gaston. He’s manipulating Gaston and maybe shows Gaston he’s trying to contain the monster in a way. I love that. It’s almost like, Gaston is as thick as a stick and stays that way for the whole film. Josh, I have to ask you how does it feel for you to bring Disney into modern times with your take on Le Fou. Josh Gad: Well, I think that whole story has been so blown out of proportion to be honest. And, you know, it’s ...

During the film's premiere earlier this month, AP reported Luke said the plot alteration that allows Le Fou - to become Disney's first ever LGBTQ character is 'subtle' but 'effective'. '[Director] Bill Condon did an amazing job of giving us an opportunity to create a version of Le Fou that isn’t like the original, that expands on what the original did, but that makes him more human and makes him a wonderfully complex character to some extent.

Exact details of the plot alteration have not been revealed so as to avoid spoiling the movie, but director Bill Condon recently described one scene as offering a 'nice, exclusively gay moment'.

Beauty And The Beast’ Gay Content

... Beast” has come under fire after director Bill Condon announced that Le Fou (Josh Gad) will have an “exclusively gay moment” in the film. But if you were to ask the film’s stars about what they think of the public’s uproar against the film, they would say it’s nothing but “rubbish.”. Ian Mc Kellen, who plays Cogsworth in the film, said critics need to keep up with the times. Read: Ian Mc Kellen guarantees fans will be ‘enraptured’ by ‘Beauty and the Beast’. “People who don't like the idea of gay characters appearing in fairy stories should think what they would think if they were gay themselves and why should they be excluded?” he told CNN. Le Fou briefly dances with another male character at the end of the movie, but Mc Kellen said that short scene is not “revolutionary.”. “For people to complain about it and say they don't want children to see it is absolute rubbish,” he said. “I know people who don't like gay people and make a fuss. It's a very small moment in the movie, no one should get too excited.”. Audra Mc Donald, who plays the wardrobe, agrees with Mc Kellen and said that “Beauty and the Beast” stands for diversity. “In the ...

With a lot less F-bombs.”. Last Slide Next Slide. Belle is an ideal modern woman. What single dude like the Beast (Dan Stevens) wouldn’t want to date a well-read, attractive girl like Belle (Emma Watson)? Heck, even Gaston (Luke Evans) won't shut up about her. “She is fiercely independent and unbelievably intelligent — her superpower is that she reads nonstop,” Gad says. “And she is the hero! She saves the Beast not once but multiple times.” What's key to Gad as the father of two young daughters (Ava, 6, and Isabella, 3): Belle is more role model than princess. "They can look up at her and say, ‘I can do anything I put my mind to and I can accomplish anything I want to without having to be a damsel in distress.’ ". Gruff at first, the Beast (Dan Stevens) breaks out of his introspective self when he meets Belle. (Photo: Disney). The Beast is a joy to watch. Every guy can relate ...

... of course, is neither Beauty nor the Beast; he’s singing Le Fou, the bumbling buddy of the story’s self-obsessed villain Gaston, played by Luke Evans, who gamely answers the musical call and harmonizes with Gad’s high note. “We live in the clouds,” Gad jokes about their range. The many fans already following the duo’s singing Instagrams will not be surprised to know that the Evans and Gad pairing has already been praised as the film’s standout performance.

Menken, at the piano, shoots Evans a phony look of disbelief, and loudly reminds the room that he’d handed out the lyrics to everyone earlier. The composer, of course, not only wrote the score for “Beauty and the Beast” (with ...
