Le Fou (Beauty and the Beast)

Who is Le Fou?

Le Fou is a supporting character from Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, serving as Gaston’s loyal but bumbling sidekick. His name, which translates to “The Fool” in French, aptly reflects his comic-relief role in the story.

Le Fou is characterized by his unwavering admiration for Gaston, often serving as his hype man and enabler. Despite his comedic incompetence and clumsy antics, Le Fou occasionally shows a sense of morality, especially in modern reinterpretations of the character.

In the original 1991 animated film, Le Fou is a small, rotund man with an exaggeratedly servile demeanor. He provides humorous commentary and participates in Gaston’s scheming to win Belle’s hand. Voiced by actor Jesse Corti, Le Fou became a memorable part of the movie’s comedic tone, contributing to iconic moments such as the lively tavern song “Gaston.”

In Disney’s 2017 live-action adaptation, Le Fou was portrayed by Josh Gad. This version of the character was given greater depth and a more nuanced personality. Gad’s Le Fou is still loyal to Gaston but is more self-aware and conflicted about Gaston’s increasingly villainous actions.
