Emma Watson might have worn Belle's iconic yellow gown in the new live-action Beauty and the Beast, but did she do it with a bad wig and a full beard? No? Well James Corden did, and he totally killed it.
In his "Crosswalk the Musical" segment on The Late Late Show, Corden put on scenes from Beauty and the Beast. Josh Gad, Dan Stevens, and Luke Evans showed up to join the cast, and even played a few characters outside their own from the movie.
They performed the major musical numbers from Beauty and the Beast on the crosswalk outside CBS's studios?and had to rush back to the sidewalks every time the traffic light turned green. The performances were adorable and honestly pretty great, which isn't surprising since (fun fact!) Corden is a Tony winner.
But the best parts were the sketches around the performances, painting Corden as an insufferable diva. "Daniel Day-Lewis played Abraham Lincoln. Meryl Streep played Margaret Thatcher. James Corden played Belle," Corden said. "Those three will always be regarded as similar, if not the same."
Well, maybe not, but it was worth a try. Watch the full segment below:
