Milo Manheim Reveals He Learned of His 'Tangled' Casting Just 10 Minutes Before Public Announcement

Milo Manheim is revealing just how late he found he booked his role in the upcoming live-action Tangled movie.

The 24-year-old Disney Channel star was cast in the live-action Disney movie earlier this month as Flynn Rider, and there was speculation that he was keeping his casting a secret, but that wasn’t the case at all!

“It’s important the world knows this! People think that I booked this like a long time ago and I’ve been keeping it a secret,” he told Entertainment Weekly in a new interview. “I found out 10 minutes before the news was released that I’d be playing Flynn. So that day was — I woke up, just like any other day, and by the end of the day… it was beautiful. The world knew, it was great.”

“It feels like thousands of people just got this role, it feels so genuinely happy,” Milo added. “My skin was like tingling that day. I was just flooded with dopamine, love, and everything.

Milo noted that he “can’t wait” to get started whenever production begins.

“I’m gonna really honor this movie and this role,” he shared. “I love Tangled, so here we go. Adventure of a lifetime.”

Milo is, of course, no stranger to starring in movie musicals, as he has played zombie Zed in all four of Disney’s Zombies movies.

In addition, last year he starred in the off-Broadway production of Little Shop of Horrors alongside Elizabeth Gillies, and he starred in a Deaf West production of American Idiot in Los Angeles, as well as last year’s Hollywood Bowl production of Jesus Christ Superstar with Cynthia Erivo and Adam Lambert.

Next up on screen, Milo will star in the third season of School Spirits on Paramount+, which premieres next week. Watch the trailer!
