Much of the attention thus far regarding Disney's live-action Beauty and the Beast has been on Emma Watson's Belle and Dan Stevens Beast. A new clip from the anticipated film decides to share some of that spotlight with the always confident Gaston, played by Luke Evans.

The new clip show's Gaston singing his self-titled track (he isn't exactly self-aware) in the tavern alongside his buddy Lefou (played by Josh Gad). Granted, most of the patrons don't chime in without some prodding from Lefou, but that's what friends are for right?

You can view the new clip above.
