Gigi Hadid Says She Auditioned for Rapunzel in Disney’s Paused ‘Tangled’ Remake

Her account highlights Disney’s focus on strong singers during a pause that leaves the remake’s future uncertain.

Overview

  • In a Vogue cover story with Kendall Jenner, Hadid said she read for Rapunzel and felt “really proud” of her scene, though she did not get the part.
  • She added that she took singing lessons during fashion month to prepare and expected the studio would choose “a real singer.”
  • Disney’s planned live-action Tangled remains on indefinite hold after the weak box-office of Snow White, and no casting has been announced.
