The Crush: Les Twins

Beyoncé’s backing dancers have got all the right moves
Lotte Jeffs17 May 2013

What could be better than a sexy, six-foot-plus, six-packed Frenchman who can move his body in ways you barely imagined possible?

Another, identical one, that’s what. It’s The Crush’s ultimate dream come true. But these chappies aren’t just any twins, they’re Les Twins, the only male dancers in Beyoncé’s Mrs Carter Show and, frankly, hotness squared. With their perfectly coiffed Afros and penchant for backwards trousers, neck warmers and kneepads worn around the ankles (très unique, non?), there’s no mistaking Larry ‘Ca Blaze’ and Laurent ‘Lil Beast’ Bourgeois. Crush was so mesmerised by their speedy footed, slippery limbed ballet-come-breakdancing at the recent O2 gig it almost (just almost) distracted us from Queen B herself. But Mrs Carter gets to have all the fun with the identical Lords of the Dance, treating them mean, pushing them around, having them crawl at her feet and cater to her every booty-shakin’ whim. We once spotted Laurent et Larry on the Piccadilly Line at rush hour, throwing shapes and shuffling in a crowded carriage, but as Beyoncé has confirmed, ‘They have no off switch.’ This is fine by us because they totally turn us on.
