Hollywood actress Kathryn Hahn has confirmed that she will play Mother Gothel in the upcoming live-action adaptation of Tangled.
The announcement came Tuesday when Hahn shared a video on Instagram revealing the news in a playful “outfit of the day” post.
In the clip, the actor appears on camera and says, “Hey, OOTD, I just found out what that stands for. So here’s my outfit of the day.”
She then steps back to show she is wearing a Mother Gothel T-shirt. “Simple jeans, glasses, T-shirt. This is easy. You know, just another day,” Hahn further said.
The post, shared in collaboration with The Walt Disney Company’s Disney Studios, carried the caption: “OOTD, Mother Gothel”.
The original animated feature Tangled, released in 2010, was based on the Rapunzel fairy tale and featured voice performances by Mandy Moore as Rapunzel, Donna Murphy as Mother Gothel, and Zachary Levi as Flynn Rider.
The film earned USD 592 million worldwide.
Disney announced the live-action adaptation of Tangled in 2024. Actors Teagan Croft and Milo Manheim are set to portray Rapunzel and Flynn Rider, respectively.
The story follows Rapunzel, a young princess with magical, long blonde hair who is held captive in a hidden tower by Mother Gothel. Her life changes when she forms an unlikely alliance with the outlaw Flynn Rider, who helps her leave the tower and explore the world she has never seen.
