The man who plays Gaston from _Beauty and the Beast_ at Disney World is known for his bravado, especially since [a video of a little girl trying to put him in his place](http://time.com/3625390/little-girl-sexist-gaston-disney-world/) went viral last month. But it looks like he has remained as confident as ever because a new clip shows him dominating in a push-up contest at Walt Disney World’s Fantasyland in Florida.
The clip has already racked up more than 2.8 million views since YouTube user “Blake Platt” uploaded it on Jan 2.
