Now, Disney is to move firmly into a new era as it introduces its first exclusively gay moment, disclosing the new version of Beauty and the Beast will star a manservant exploring his sexuality. Hes confused about what he wants. Its somebody whos just realizing that he has these feelings The live-action version of Beauty and the Beast is already on course to be the most thoroughly modern film of its kind, with star Emma Watson discussing how she made the role of Belle more feminist. The team have now revealed one character, LeFou, will experience Disneys first ever gay moment on screen, as he struggles with his feelings for ultra-macho leading man Gaston. Josh Gad as LeFou in the live action remake of Beauty and the Beast In an interview with Attitude magazine, director Bill Condon said: LeFou is somebody who on one day wants to be Gaston and on another day wants to kiss Gaston. Hes confused about what he wants. Its somebody whos just realizing that he has these feelings. And Josh [Gad, who plays LeFou] makes something really subtle and delicious out of it. Le Fou sings about Gaston in the tavern And thats what has its pay-off at the end, which I dont want to give away. But it is a nice, exclusively gay moment in a Disney movie. In the original 1991 animated film, LeFou is introduced as the hapless sidekick of Gaston, the swaggering ladies man who hopes to woo Belle with a series of ill-judged seduction techniques. This is a watershed moment for Disney LeFou is best-known to fans of the film for singing Gaston, a pub ditty aimed at cheering up the spurned hero. With lines like For there's no man in town half as manly / Perfect, a pure paragon, some forward-thinking fans had speculated there may be more to their relationship. Their hopes will be confirmed when the new version is released in the UK on March 17. Poster Comment: Classified as Israel because Disney is a Jewish company as are ESPN-ABC.
