Disney has let down its golden hair and finally found the roles for the live-action adaptation of Tangled.
After a long search, it was 21-year-old Sydney native, Teagan Croft, that bagged the highly-coveted role.
Beating out The White Lotus‘ Sarah Catherine Hook, Invasion’s Olivia-Mai Barrett and singer Freya Sky- Teagan is living a real-life fairytale.
Here’s everything we know about the live-action Tangled:
Who is Teagan Croft?
Born in Sydney in 2004, Teagan began acting at the age of nine.
Her first performance was as Scout in To Kill a Mockingbird at Sydney’s New Theatre.
Like every other Aussie star, the 21-year-old did her fair share on Home and Away in the recurring role of Bella Loneragan.
To further her acting career, Teagan and her family made the jump to the US so she could sign with a prominent US management firm in Chicago.
However, five years later they returned and the actress juggled small acting roles and remote school lessons.
Teagan’s “big break” per say came about in 2018 when she was cast as White Raven in the popular DC Universe and HBO Max series Titans.
She is currently studying for an English literature degree with a minor in music theory, something she shares openly on her Instagram.
In a previous interview with WHO, Teagan gushed over her love for acting and the film industry as a whole.
She said: “The world is my oyster at this point! I’m really loving the film industry and how many different pathways you can explore within the industry.”
“And also, I’m just expanding my mind and seeing the world,” she concluded.
What other lead roles been cast?
Setting of his lanterns and joining Teagan on this adventure of a lifetime will be Milo Manheim, playing Flynn Rider.
The 24-year-old American actor is best known for his role in the Disney musical franchise Zombies.
He’ll take on the role of the endearing thief who helps Rapunzel escape from her tower imprisonment.
The budding A-listers have big shoes to fill, having gotten roles previously held by Mandy Moore and Zachary Levi.
What do we know about live-action Tangled so far?

Similarly to his previous film and the animation version of Tangled, the live-action will feature several big musical elements- yay!
Freakier Friday producer Kristin Burr has been given the role of producer and Jennifer Kaytin Robinson (responsible for Do Revenge, Thor: Love and Thunder) wrote the script.
