Gaston bests tourist in push-up contest at Disney World
Well, Gaston did say when he was a lad he ate four dozen eggs every morning to help him get large.
As a grown-up he eats five dozen, "so I'm roughly the size of a barge."
It showed in a push-up contest between Disney's
Beauty and the Beast
character and a tourist named Brooks Platt, 21.
The video was shot on Dec. 23 and posted to YouTube on Jan 2. So far, it has generated over 2.8 million page views. Brooks' brother Blake shot the video on his iPhone 6.
The pair, originally from Indiana, were at Disney to celebrate Brooks getting into medical school.
"Do you think you are stronger than me?" the character at the Florida theme park asks.
During the contest, Gaston starts to use just one hand. Impressive.
"We were just having fun and I thought a person or two might get a chuckle out of it," Blake Platt 25, wrote in the YouTube video description. "When my brother and I go to the Disney parks (which we love), one of our goals every time we enter is to make someone's day, even if it's just one person."
Platt added, "Hopefully we've been able to do that on a little larger scale; and, hopefully again, in a way of which Walt would be proud."
So, the Disney song proves true, no one fights (or trains) like Gaston.
