Emma Watson has confirmed that she will play Belle in the live action Beauty and the Beast movie starting production this year. But who will play the Beast? And more importantly, who will play Gaston, one of our favourite movie villains of all time? We have some casting suggestions…
Based on the lyrics of the greatest Disney song ever written, we have some ideas for Gaston. (You're welcome, Disney…)
Gosh it disturbs me to see you, Gaston Looking so down in the dumps Every guy here'd love to be you, Gaston Even when taking your lumps There's no man in town as admired as you
We'll start here: nobody so admired? It has to be the Gosling God.
You're ev'ryone's favourite guy
Oh, it's Mr Popular we're after? So maybe Matthew McConaughey (alright, alright, alright?)
Ev'ryone's awed and inspired by you
Morgan Freeman. OK, the role's yours.
And it's not very hard to see why No one's slick as Gaston
Ah, Leo. Nobody's slicker than Leo.
No one's quick as Gaston
(Except for Usain Bolt, ain't nobody quicker than the Bolt)
No one's neck's as incredibly thick as Gaston
If the role calls for a thick neck, maybe Channing's available?
For there's no man in town half as manly Perfect, a pure paragon You can ask any Tom, Dick or Stanley And they'll tell you whose team they prefer to be on No one's been like Gaston A king pin like Gaston No one's got a swell cleft in his chin like Gaston
Affleck, king of the chin cleft
As a specimen, yes, I'm intimidating My- what a guy, that Gaston No one fights like Gaston Douses lights like Gaston In a wrestling match nobody bites like Gaston
Erm, Luis Suarez? (We won't treat you to a picture…)
For there's no one as burly and brawny As you see I've got biceps to spare
Actually, maybe Channing Tatum is the right man for this? Perhaps we should make him arm wrestle Tom Hardy?
Not a bit of him's scraggly or scrawny (That's right!) And ev'ry last inch of me's covered with hair
(We don't know any actors well enough toknow they'd be covered in hair. But we'd welcomesuggestions.)
No one hits like Gaston Matches wits like Gaston
Just try and match Will Smith's wit. Just try.
In a spitting match nobody spits like Gaston I'm especially good at expectorating (Ptooey!) Ten points for Gaston! When I was a lad I ate four dozen eggs Ev'ry morning to help me get large And now that I'm grown I eat five dozen eggs
Remember when B-Coops got all beefed up forAmerican Sniper? Must have been on similar egg-based dietas Gaston.
So I'm roughly the size of a barge
…We really are starting to lean toward Channing Tatum at this stage.
No one shoots like Gaston Makes those beauts like Gaston Then goes tromping around wearing boots like Gaston
Here's Ryan doing a spot of 'tromping' in some battered old boots. So Gaston of him.
I use antlers in all of my decorating Say it again Who's a man among men? And then say it once more Who's the hero next door?
(Aside: Fireman Sam isn't it?)
Who's a super success? Don't you know? Can't you guess? Ask his fans and his five hangers-on There's just one guy in town who's got all of it down And his name's G-A-S- T - G-A-S-T - E - G-A-S-T-O - oh! GASTON!!!
