Idris Elba auditioned to play Gaston in the new live-action remake of Disney’s Beauty And The Best – a role that ultimately went to Luke Evans.

Actor and international sex symbol Idris dropped the bombshell to People this week, telling Jess Cagle: ‘I honestly love musicals.’

”I called! I called. I said: “Listen, I want in.” They were like: “Uh, you know, uh, wow. Okay.” So, somewhere, they have a tape of me singing,’ dished Idris, 45, of being up for the role of Belle’s villainous suitor in the Disney movie.
