Supermodel Gigi Hadid was ready to play Rapunzel.
During an interaction with Kendall Jenner, Hadid reflected on auditioning for the role of the Disney princess in the live-action remake of the animated film ‘Tangled’.
Sharing her experience, Hadid said, “What do we do in this job anymore that scares us?” Though she ultimately did not secure the role, she added, “I was really proud of my scene.”
Preparing for the audition, Hadid took singing lessons even during fashion month, but acknowledged, “I knew they were going to go with a real singer.” She also mentioned she planned to show Jenner her audition footage.

Disney’s live-action reimagining of its 2010 animated film, which focused on the Brothers Grimm fairy tale heroine, has been put on pause, according to studio insiders. The project had been in active development, with ‘The Greatest Showman’ helmer Michael Gracey on board to direct and Jennifer Kaytin Robinson penning the script.
However, the decision to pause the project followed Disney’s underwhelming box-office performance of the live-action ‘Snow White’ and subsequent controversies. Meanwhile, Disney’s live-action ‘Moana’ is scheduled for release on July 10, 2026.
In addition to Hadid, actor Corey Mylchreest, known for ‘My Oxford Year’, auditioned for the role of Flynn Rider in ‘Tangled’.
