Gigi Hadid auditioned for the role of Rapunzel in a live-action remake of Tangled.

The 30-year-old supermodel took singing lessons to prepare for the try out, but she didn't land the part.

Despite that, Gigi was pleased with her efforts and wasn't surprised Disney went with "a real singer" for the role.

In a conversation for Vogue magazine, Gigi's friend Kendall Jenner asked her: "What do we do in this job anymore that scares us?"

Hadid told of her Rapunzel audition, and said: "I was really proud of my scene.

"The singing... I knew they were going to go with a real singer, but I’ll show you my audition scene later."

Kendall replied: "I’m stoked. I need to see."

However, the live-action Tangled project - which was in the pre-production stage with The Greatest Showman’s Michael Gracey set to direct - was reportedly paused indefinitely earlier this year.
