Remember the so-called âexclusively gay momentâ in Disneyâs live-action Beauty and the Beast that ended up being more of an elusively gay moment? So does Josh Gad, and he seems to feel bad about it. âWe didnât go far enough to warrant accolades,â Gad, who played LeFou in the 2017 film, told The Independent. âWe didnât go far enough to say, âLook how brave we are.â My regret in what happened is that it became âDisneyâs first explicitly gay moment,â and it was never intended to be that.â The brief scene that director Bill Condon described as âexclusively gayâ lasts for maybe two seconds and comes at the end of the movie. During a group celebration in which many people are dancing, LeFou dances with a man. âI donât think we did justice to what a real gay character in a Disney film should be,â Gad said. âThat was not LeFou. If weâre going to pat ourselves on the back, then damn it, we should have gone further with that. Everybody deserves an opportunity to see themselves on screen, and I donât think weâve done enough â and I certainly havenât done enough to do that.â Perhaps thatâs why he was so upset the Beauty and the Beast Disney+ prequel series got scrapped.
