Milo Manheim tapped for lead role in ‘Tangled’ live-action movie
Milo Manheim has landed one of the lead roles in Disney’s upcoming live-action Tangled remake, joining a fresh cast that reimagines the beloved animated classic for a new generation.
Multiple outlets confirm that Manheim, known for his work on Zombies and Dancing with the Stars, will play Flynn Rider opposite Teagan Croft as Rapunzel.
The live-action Tangled marks another step in Disney’s ongoing effort to bring its animated hits to life on the big screen.
Manheim’s casting indicates that the studio is blending emerging talent with high-profile musical and acting chops as it reshapes the story of Rapunzel, the spirited princess with magical long hair who finds adventure and love after leaving the tower where she was raised.
Teagan Croft, best known for her role on Titans, will portray Rapunzel.
The story follows the familiar arc of the original, a young woman with magical hair who yearns to explore the world beyond her tower, and the roguish thief who helps her escape.
Manheim’s Flynn Rider is the charming, mischievous counterpart to Rapunzel’s idealism and curiosity, and fans are already speculating about how his version will capture the blend of humour and heart that made the animated film a favourite.
Deadline notes that the film’s creative team aims to stay true to the spirit of the 2010 Tangled, while also giving live-action audiences something fresh and full of energy.
The remake will likely feature updated versions of the musicals that helped define the original, though details about the soundtrack and other cast members remain under wraps.
Disney has not yet announced a release date, but production is expected to ramp up this year as the studio builds excitement around its expanding slate of live-action adaptations.
Manheim’s involvement adds to the buzz, as his blend of stage and screen experience makes him a compelling fit for a role that combines physicality, humour and romantic chemistry.
For audiences who grew up with the animated Tangled, seeing this story reimagined with new stars offer a sense of both nostalgia and anticipation.
With Croft and Manheim at the centre, Disney’s newest Tangled promises to be a vibrant remake that honours the original.
More details are expected to surface in the coming months as the project moves closer to production.
Princess Kate is being celebrated for her “quiet strength” as she marks her 44th birthday.
In a touching tribute shared on Friday, January 9, the Welsh Guards praised the Princess of Wales for her enduring support of the Armed Forces community, highlighting the impact she continues to have as Colonel-in-Chief.
The regiment honoured Kate’s “warmth, dedication and quiet strength,” noting that these qualities “continue to inspire countless people across the country.”
In their message, they underscored her long-standing commitment to those who serve, writing: “Through her support of service families, veterans, and causes close to our hearts, she consistently demonstrates compassion, resilience and a deep understanding of duty.”
The tribute closed with birthday wishes and gratitude “for her continued support of the nation and those who serve it,” signed off with the Welsh motto “Cymru Am Byth.”
The message comes amid a busy period for the Welsh Guards, who remain closely linked to Prince William. The Prince of Wales, who serves as colonel of the regiment, attended their Christmas celebrations at Windsor Barracks last month. During the visit, he personally helped serve dinner to members of the First Battalion and spent time socialising with troops in the Sergeants’ Mess, catching up on their work since his previous visit.
In recent years, the regiment has played a prominent role in major royal milestones, including the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II, the Coronation of King Charles III, and Trooping the Colour in 2023. Their tribute to Kate reflects a bond rooted in service, respect, and shared duty.
Meghan Trainor’s husband, Daryl Sabara, seems to have a surprising response to the Ashley Tisdale mom group fiasco, as he shared a neutral opinion.
The 33-year-old actor cleared the air by saying, “No drama over here, just trying to keep the kids happy,” soon after Trainor herself appeared to mock Tisdale in a TikTok video.
The Spy Kids star even expressed concern for the High School Musical star, after her essay in The Cut went viral, which detailed her experience of alienation in a group of fellow moms.
“I don’t really know what’s going on. I hope she’s okay though,” Sabara told TMZ on Thursday, January 8.
This comes after the singer shared a video clip on TikTok with the text, “Me finding out about the apparent mom group drama,” which showed her sitting at a desk while her song, Still Don’t Care played in the background.
Trainor concluded her shady response with three tea emojis in the caption.
The Made You Look hitmaker is not the only alleged mom involved in the mom group drama, but Mandy Moore and Hilary Duff are also among Tisdale’s former friends, whom she recently unfollowed.
Bruno Mars has officially kicked off his romantic era, leaving fans guessing if he is hinting at a new possible romance.
In the early hours of Friday, January 9, the 16-time Grammy Award winner sent his fans into a frenzy by dropping his first solo single, I Just Might, in over a decade.
In the lead single of his upcoming album, The Romantic, the 40-year-old seemingly serenaded about a new love.
The lyrics of the newly-released track center on him seeing a captivating woman in a club and the possibility of a new romance.
In the chorus, he sings, “Hey, Mr. DJ, play a song for this pretty little lady. ‘Cause if she dance as good as she look right now, I just might, I just might make her my baby”.
So, does Bruno have a new love in his life? There were rumors in the past year that he had split from longtime girlfriend Jessica Caban after more than a decade together, but that was never confirmed.
While neither he nor his long-time girlfriend Jessica Caban has officially confirmed their current relationship status, the lyrical content of “I Just Might” has fueled speculation among fans that he might be single and exploring a new relationship.
Bruno Mars’ The Romantic Tour dates:
The forthcoming fourth solo album is set for release on February 27, 2026, giving fans a full access into the romantic theme of his new music era.
Following the album release a world tour has already been announced, which will be performed in stadiums.
While Bruno has released hit collabs like “Die With a Smile” with Lady Gaga and “APT” with Blackpink star Rose in recent years, this marks his return to solo music.
