Although Ben Mendelsohn might have become known to Western audiences for his turn in The Dark Knight Rises and Rogue One, the Aussie actor's been a leading man in his homeland for many years before.
In fact, Mendelsohn has a background in theatre and played Mark Antony in a production of Shakespeare's Julius Caesar in 2005 - so taking on The Lion King really should be no problem for him whatsoever. In an interview with Australian radio station Triple J, Mendelsohn was asked to perform a dramatic reading of I Just Can't Wait To Be King, the song from The Lion King soundtrack.
It's... terrifying. Take a look.
