Beauty and the Beast Battle: Luke Evans and Hugh Jackman Fight For Gaston Supremacy

We all know that no one is as slick as Gaston, quick as Gaston or has a neck as incredibly thick as Gaston’s — but which Gaston is the best? That’s what UK talk show host Jonathan Ross sought to determine this week when he had both Luke Evans and Hugh Jackman on his program. Evans will star as the villainous hunk in Disney’s upcoming live-action Beauty and the Beast while Jackman played the role on stage in an Australian production of the show.

The two gentleman (joined by the rest of the panel filling in the lyrics) swung their oversized mugs of beer while belting out the classic “Gaston” song to the best of their ability. So which man won? You decide:

If that clip got you excited to see Evans in the new Beauty and the Beast remake, you’ll have a bit of waiting to do — the film is slated for release in nearly a year from now: March 17, 2017.
