Did You Know? Jojo Siwa Auditioned for Live Action Tangled! While scrolling social media tonight, I came across something that caught my eye. I always take notice to anything Tangled! As most know, the live action version of Tangled was indefinitely halted production wise. After the lack of performance from Snow White, Disney allegedly decided to shelf that project. Not much else was said, but now we know a little bit of interesting information. Jojo Siwa actually auditioned for the role of Rapunzel according to her mother.
While JoJo is in the Celebrity Big Brother house in the UK, her mother Jessalynn Siwa has been posting on her social media under the name “Dance Mom Jess”. Yesterday, Jess shared a one-minute video of JoJo performing a scene between Rapunzel and Flynn Rider. The clip has now been deleted from JoJo’s TikTok account but it had already had close to 2 million views by the time it was removed.
Along with the video, Jess wrote: “Well I heard they are not making the live action Tangled anymore soooo thought I could share this audition tape – don’t you think she would have made the perfectttt Rapunzel.”
JoJo wore extensions with flowers in her hair for the scene as she recited Rapunzel’s lines. A male voice off-screen read the role of Flynn.
In the comments, people were jokingly calling out JoJo’s mom for sharing the video, writing: “I’d be MORTIFIED if my mum shared this.” Another wrote: “Jess, she’s gonna be so mad.”
According to The Hollywood Reporter who cited studio insiders, development has stalled on the live-action remake and is now indefinitely on “pause”. Per the outlet, it remains “uncertain whether Tangled will move forward down the road or undergo a creative rethink”.
No official details had been announced, and no casting information had been shared either. Fans have been sharing their dream Rapunzel castings for years. Question for the audience: If JoJo Siwa played Rapunzel, who would you want to play Flynn opposite her?
As a huge Tangled fan, I’m actually ok with this film production not going forward. I’m not sure who the perfect cast would be, but for now it’s not happening. I think giving live action remakes a rest is a smart move from Disney. We shall see what happens in the future!
