Gigi Hadid's Audition Surprise: Tangled Tale of Disney Dreams
GIGI HADID GOES FOR IT: SUPERMODEL REVEALS SHE AUDITIONED FOR RAPUNZEL ROLE IN DISNEY'S LIVE-ACTION TANGLED REMAKE
In a shocking revelation, supermodel Gigi Hadid has spilled the tea about her attempt to land the lead role of Rapunzel in Disney's live-action Tangled remake. The 30-year-old beauty shared that she even took singing lessons to prepare for the audition, proving just how seriously she was taking the part.
"I was really proud of my scene," Gigi gushed in a new interview with Vogue, though she didn't quite make the cut. "The singing... I knew they were going to go with a real singer, but I'll show you my audition scene later." Little does Disney know, this talented model has been secretly dreaming of trading in her stilettos for a pair of glass slippers.
Sources close to the production reveal that Tangled was put on indefinite hold after Disney's 2025 live-action Snow White flop. The disaster at the box office and harsh criticism of being "woke" left many wondering if the Mouse House had lost its touch.
Meanwhile, Gigi is taking a cue from her Oscar-nominated boyfriend Bradley Cooper, who has starred in critically acclaimed films like Maestro (2023), A Star Is Born (2018), American Sniper (2014), and Silver Linings Playbook (2012). The power couple, who have been dating for close to two years, are clearly influencing each other's careers. Gigi was spotted on the set of Bradley's latest film, and insiders claim she's seriously considering making the leap from model to actress.
But Gigi's not alone in her pursuit of stardom. Fellow supermodel Kendall Jenner has also been taking small steps into acting, appearing in films like Ocean's 8. The two friends, who have known each other since their teens, have formed an unbreakable bond that goes beyond the runway and magazine covers.
In a heartwarming moment from their conversation with Vogue, Gigi opened up about confiding in Kendall when she was pregnant with her daughter in 2020. "You were one of the only people in the world that knew," Hadid said, recalling how Jenner got her a can of Coke to help her cope with morning sickness during a chaotic backstage at Burberry.
Kendall gushed about their friendship, saying, "I was your biggest fan, and once we started working together and doing shows, I remember those early seasons... We'd do the whole month together." The two have shared countless memories over the years, from bunking together on modeling trips to making appearances on each other's social media feeds.
But despite their close friendship, Gigi revealed that they rarely find themselves in sync romantically. "We did have a double date situation once," Kendall quipped, leaving Gigi giggling as she tried to jog her memory. The supermodel eventually admitted she had no recollection of the incident and left it at that.
For now, Gigi is focusing on her modeling career, which took off after signing with IMG Models in 2013. By 2015, she was named a brand ambassador for Maybelline and made her debut in the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. The blonde beauty has since appeared on over 35 international Vogue covers and walked the runway for top fashion houses like Chanel, Versace, and Marc Jacobs.
As Gigi continues to slay the catwalk, fans can't help but wonder: will we see her trade in her Louboutins for a pair of glass slippers anytime soon? Only time will tell, but one thing's for sure – with friends like Kendall by her side, Gigi is ready for whatever comes next.
