No One Does Push-Ups Like Beauty and the Beast's Gaston—Watch Now!

Walt Disney World tourist challenged him to a fitness competition

Even though the Beauty and the Beast song describes Gaston as someone with "biceps to spare," this Walt Disney World tourist didn't get the memo!

A seemingly harmless park-goer decided that he wanted to challenge one of Disney's strongest characters in a push-up competition, but he didn't understand what he was getting himself into! Blake Platt, the star of the video, posted the results to YouTube, and let's just say there is truth to the braggy tune.

"If you've ever wondered what would happen if you challenged Gaston to a push-up contest," Platt captioned the video, which now has more than 2.8 million views.

And what happens is exactly what you would expect from him! He absolutely dominates Platt in the contest. Not only does he do one push-up in the time it takes the non-Disney character to complete two, he also transitions to one-handed push-ups.

"It looks like you're struggling," Gaston said. "Perhaps he needs a hand."

He then lifted up one arm to actually hold it out to innocent Platt while the crowd went wild.

Even though Gaston isn't technically a Disney prince, we're going to consider him one because a) his hair and 2) he works at Disney World, which indicates some sort of royalty. And, as a royal, he was treated to the ultimate gift when Blaine Gibson, another theme park attendee, decided to propose to all of the Disney princesses and a prince—a.k.a. Gaston. This guy gets a lot of attention even though he's a jerk in the movie!
