Talking to Interview about the anticipated release of Beauty and the Beast, Evans talks about the audition process. The 37-year-old actor shares, “I had to audition. They wanted to hear everybody. I can tell you huge names that were in the room before me and after me. I was like, ‘Fuck.’ Everybody was being seen for these roles, and for Gaston especially. It’s a great role, and he has this big song—well, there are a few big songs.”
Evans continues, “I went in and met Bill Condon and it was quite nice. Sometimes when you audition it’s quite a nerve wracking thing, you’re quite exposed and maybe have only had the script for a few days before. I remember going in and I knew the song and I knew that I could sing it really well—that’s what I’ve done my whole career up until this point. It was one of those moments where I could relax and thoroughly enjoy every minute of it, knowing that vocally I could do it.”
Reflecting on the complete audition, Evans adds, “It was quite nice to see Mr. Condon’s face at the end of it smiling away. I was like, ‘Okay, well I think I’ve done something right in this room.’ But I went back twice to try different things and it was great.” Revealing his experience filming the movie, Evans expresses, “I loved every second of [the film]. It was thrilling. You just felt like you were on a big MGM set of a musical. It’s huge and it’s breathtaking, some of the stuff that we shot. I can’t wait to see the final cut.” Read more on InterviewMagazine.com.
