In her Vogue cover story alongside Kendall Jenner, the supermodel reflected on auditioning for the role of Rapunzel in the live-action remake of the animated film Tangled.
“What do we do in this job anymore that scares us?” Hadid posed the question to Jenner during their interview. Though Hadid did not get the part, she said, “I was really proud of my scene.”
Despite taking singing lessons during fashion month to prepare, Hadid said, “I knew they were going to go with a real singer.” She also told Jenner that she’d show her her audition scene.

However the decision to pause the film followed Disney’s underwhelming release of their live-action adaptationSnow White at the box office, from critics and followed by a myriad of controversies. It continues to remain uncertain whether the filmwill eventually move forward or be rethought creatively. Meanwhile, a live-actionMoanais set to release on July 10, 2026.
In addition to Hadid, My Oxford Year star Corey Mylchreest revealed that he too had auditioned for the Tangled live-action for the role of Flynn Rider. In an interview with Seventeen, the actor seemed to not share the same sentiments Hadid did about the audition.
“We don’t have the footage anymore. I deleted it and then I burnt it and then I burnt the phone that I filmed on. And then I burnt the room that I did it in. And then I burnt myself,” he quipped of his audition. “No, it wasn’t very good. They then told me that they wanted someone with singing experience.”
