Gigi Hadid reveals the Disney princess role she auditioned for in a live-action remake

by

Gigi Hadid disclosed that she tried out for the main character, Rapunzel, in Disney’s real-life adaptation of the movie Tangled.

In a recent interview with Vogue, the supermodel, aged 30, discussed her efforts over the past few years to transition from modeling to acting. She revealed that she also underwent singing lessons in preparation for an audition.

The actress, said to be motivated by her partner Bradley Cooper, expressed that she was extremely pleased with the scene she performed, despite not getting the part in the end.

As for the singing performance, I initially thought they might opt for a professional vocalist, but I’ve got my audition clip saved up, and I’ll share it with you at a later time, I mentioned to Kendall Jenner during our conversation. She was gracing the cover this month alongside her.

The character is poised for a significant transition towards taking on major acting roles, having spent many years with minor voice parts and brief appearances, such as in Ocean’s 8.

Regrettably, the planned live-action version of Tangled has been postponed indefinitely following the box office failure of Disney’s 2025 live-action release of Snow White.

In 2010, the movie “Tangled” was released, and it serves as the basis for the current adaptation. This animated film showcased the vocal talents of Mandy Moore and Zachary Levi, while presenting the tale of Rapunzel with a humorous spin.

The Disney live-action movie was currently undergoing production, with Michael Gracey set as the director, and Jennifer Kaytin Robinson penning the script.

The pause in production news arises following the live-action retelling of Snow White, which struggled financially at the box office and received backlash for being perceived as overly progressive or politically correct.

Furthermore, The Hollywood Reporter pointed out that some key figures involved in Disney’s current trend of live-action reboots have relinquished their executive positions.

The lead actress, Rachel Zegler, age 23, is facing a significant amount of criticism due to her role in the movie that fell short of its substantial budget expectations, earning only $87 million domestically. The film has also garnered one of the lowest ratings among all movies on various film review platforms.

She has faced criticism, including on political grounds, after tweeting “Free Palestine,” a sentiment that drew severe backlash from the film producer’s son.

As a devoted admirer, I am undeniably inspired by my boyfriend’s flourishing career. His talent is evident in his numerous critically acclaimed films such as Maestro (2023), A Star Is Born (2018), American Sniper (2014), and the Silver Linings Playbook (2012).

In the year 2023, Gigi and Bradley were first reported to be in a romantic relationship. Now, they’ve been seeing each other for nearly two years.

In a different part of the October edition of Vogue, Gigi and Kendall shared insights on the lasting connection that has supported them during their modeling career’s ups and downs, as well as their journey towards stardom and personal lives.

2020 saw Hadid also share a heartfelt instance; one where she was expecting her child for the first time and found solace in chatting with Jenner amidst the bustle of Burberry’s backstage chaos.

In my circle, I could count on one hand the individuals who shared my secrets, and Jenner was undoubtedly one of them. Whenever I felt dizzy and required an instant pick-me-up, she was the person I’d confide in and rely upon.

‘Looking at Kenny from afar, I’d immediately recognize her as a Coke, so to speak. Surprisingly enough, she brought me a small can of Coke.’

That subtle action, as noted by Hadid, underscores a deep-rooted trust between them that transcends the catwalk and photoshoots.

The two trace their closeness back to their teens, bunking together on early modeling trips.

Kendall was really enthusiastic about you,” she enthused. “When we began collaborating and performing shows, I vividly recall those first few seasons – we’d spend the entire month working together.

In a statement, Hadid recalled that during her first Chanel fitting in 2014, Jenner eased her anxieties prior to her encounter with Karl Lagerfeld in Paris.

Even though they’re inseparable, Hadid, who is with Bradley, often pondered that their romantic connection isn’t always simultaneous and they tend to be in different stages of a relationship.

In a reminiscent tone, I’d say, “Once upon a time, we found ourselves in a double-date scenario, and I do recall that incident distinctly from the past. No need to revisit those memories now.

After Hadid admitted she forgot about that, Jenner attempted to jog her memory.

She pointed out to her friend, ‘It turns out we weren’t on a double date after all. You tried to set me up with someone to join your group because you were already in a relationship and I was single.’ She emphasized, ‘Can’t you recall this situation? I have no intention of continuing this conversation now. I’ll fill you in later!’

Despite having only minor voice roles and brief appearances, Hadid remains primarily recognized for her work on the catwalk.

As a devoted devotee, I can tell you that my career experienced a remarkable surge after securing a contract with IMG Models back in 2013. By the year 2015, I was honored to be designated as a brand representative for Maybelline, and I graced the stage for the first time during the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.

This stunning woman graces more than 35 international editions of Vogue and has strutted the runways for prestigious fashion brands such as Chanel, Versace, and Marc Jacobs.
