Model Gigi Hadid has opened up about auditioning for Disney’s live-action remake of 2010’s fan-favorite Rapunzel movie, Tangled. Besides appearing as herself in reality shows and competition shows like The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Lip Sync Battle, and Next in Fashion, Hadid’s only film credit was her cameo appearance in 2018’s Sandra Bullock-led heist movie Ocean’s 8.
What did Gigi Hadid say about her Tangled audition?
During a recent interview with Vogue, Hadid shared that she actually auditioned for the leading role of Rapunzel in Disney’s live-action Tangled movie. According to the model, her long-time boyfriend Bradley Cooper inspired her to pursue acting. To prepare for the audition, she took singing lessons. Despite not getting the part, she expressed how happy she was with her audition.
“I was really proud of my scene,” Hadid said to long-time friend Kendall Jenner. “The singing…I knew they were going to go with a real singer, but I’ll show you my audition scene later.”
At the moment, the status of the upcoming Tangled movie is still unclear. Per a previous report, production on the Tangled remake would reportedly only begin again depending on the box office performance of the upcoming Moana live-action movie. Before it was halted, The Greatest Showman’s Michael Gracey was attached to direct from a screenplay written by Thor: Love and Thunder’s Jennifer Kaytin Robinson. Black Widow stars Scarlett Johansson and Florence Pugh were also reportedly being considered for the respective roles of Mother Gothel and Rapunzel.
