“I mean, he’s already getting every other job but probably Timothee Chalamet?” Zachary told ET. “Unfortunately I feel like I’m a little old — and that I don’t know all of the younger actors that could be that guy.”
He then suggested that he and Mandy Moore, who voiced Rapunzel, could make cameos as Rapunzel’s parents!
“I think it would be fun if Mandy and I got to be Rapunzel’s parents,” he said. “I think that would be a really fun little cameo for us to pop in to.”
“I was bummed that we never got a sequel to it, but we did get to do a really fun animated series that was on Disney Channel for three years,” he added. “Now that there’s talks of doing this live-action — I think it’s awesome, and I look forward to, you know, seeing how well that comes together.”
There have been so many fancasts for the live-action Tangled, with names like Sabrina Carpenter, Maitreyi Ramakrishnan, Taylor Zakhar Perez and Milo Manheim among the names fans have cast as their choice for Rapunzel and Flynn.
Zachary‘s upcoming Harold and the Purple Crayon is set to hit theaters on August 2nd. Watch the trailer here!
