Corey Mylchreest's disastrous Tangled audition
The My Oxford Year actor was up for the role of Rapunzel's love interest in the live-action remake of the 2010 cartoon but admitted he was let down by his singing ability.
Corey, 25, told Seventeen magazine: "I think I can say this now because I don't think it's happening anymore, but I auditioned for Tangled.
"We don't have the footage anymore. I deleted it and then I burnt it and then I burnt the phone that I filmed on. And then I burnt the room that I did it in. And then I burnt myself. They then told me that they wanted someone with singing experience."
The 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 after Snow White's poor performance at the box office.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Disney is now reevaluating the strategy for other live-action adaptations in development.
Previously, both Ben Barnes, 43, and Zachary Levi, 44, revealed their desire to take on the role of Flynn in the movie.
Ben took to X in 2020 to respond to a fan who had tweeted a picture of him and the character from Tangled and admitted he'd jump at the chance to take on the role.
He wrote: "I am so up for this @DisneyStudios...even down to the little chin beard! #Tangled."
And, Zachary – who voiced the character of Flynn in the animated movie - said he would love to reprise the role but admitted he might not be the right fit.
He said: "As much as I would love to play Flynn Rider in a live-action Tangled, by the time they get around to that, I don't think I'm gonna be the right guy to play that role.
"I'll be there coaching that guy, I'll make sure he understands what that smoulder means, but I think my hair will be like Steve Martin-white by the time they do a live-action Tangled.'
He then teased: "In lieu of playing Flynn Rider in a live-action Tangled, I would say, I don't know... Ariel from The Little Mermaid maybe."

Oscar Isaac would return to Star Wars as Poe Dameron
Oscar Isaac would reprise his role as Poe Dameron for the right Star Wars project. The 46-year-old actor played the Resistance X-wing pilot in Disney's Star Wars sequel trilogy, first being introduced to a galaxy far, far away in 2015's The Force Awakens. Oscar is proud to have played Poe and be part of the iconic sci-fi series and he would be open to a return to that franchise if there was a film or TV series that appealed to him. When asked by Variety if he would return as Poe, he answered: "Yeah, I'd be a Star Wars again if there was something good to do with that.' Daisy Ridely is returning as Jedi Rey for a new movie which is a continuation of the Star Wars timeline which Poe is part of. Isaac can next be seen in Guillermo del Toro's new Frankenstein film for Netflix, which is based on Mary Shelley's 1818 Gothic novel of the same name. He plays Dr. Victor Frankenstein, the scientist who creates a living creature from multiple human body parts, and Oscar admits his interpretation of the character is partly inspired by late Purple Rain singer Prince, in terms of how he moves. He said: "I saw him much more as an artist than as a scientist. I watched a video of Prince going to the Super Bowl in order to rehearse. And I just basically stole his walk when he's going up to the stage with his hands behind the back.' Isaac was Guillermo's first choice to play Dr. Victor Frankenstein opposite Jacob Elordi as Frankenstein's monster and he can recall being emotionally moved by the filmmaker's script for his version of the famous story. The pair first met over lunch and The Shape of the Water filmmaker Guillermo told his leading man he was "making a feast". That meeting was followed a year later when del Toro presented Isaac with a script and as the actor got to the last page the pair "were just crying". Isaac said: "There's just so much pain there.'

Danny DeVito almost called his lawyer over 'really bad' It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia script
Danny DeVito almost called his lawyer over an outrageous It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia prank. The 80-year-old actor has revealed he was once the victim of an April Fools Day joke at the hands of the sitcom's crew, who sent him a "really bad" script for an episode they never actually intended to make. He told The Hollywood Reporter: "I was abused in this show to the point of, I can't even tell you. Midway through, I said, 'I'm not going to do this. There's no way I can do this. This is really crazy.' "Long story short, the last line in the script, there are cops all around me with nightsticks, and they're all going to have their way with me in a jail. "I say, 'I'm leaving,' and the cop says, 'You're not going to leave without saying goodbye, are you Frank?' " As the script reached its conclusion, Danny finally realised the whole thing was an allaborate prank. He continued: "And they all get their nightsticks in their hand, I get thrown down on the ground and I'm on my stomach and the guy leans down into my ear, and he says, 'April Fools motherf*****,' (laughs) and I realised at that time that they had me totally wrapped around their little finger. "I seriously was going to call my lawyer [and say], 'Lawsuit, no way!' " The Hollywood star was able to see the funny side of the whole ordeal, and he even managed to get some revenge. He said: "I got 'em back. We all went to some Upfront thing in Washington, and it was a big hotel packed with TV people. "I got there early, and we all had rooms that FX had given us on our own, so I talked to the manager, and I said, 'Look, don't give them their rooms. Give me a small room with one bedroom and get me a bunch of cots and tell them that the place is filled.' "The guy did it and he played it to the hilt." Danny recalled being hidden "in a closet" watching the whole scene unfold. He added: "They were all in the room, and I was in a closet with a bottle of tequila and glasses watching them react to the fact that this guy is telling them there's no room in this hotel and this is the room that FX booked for them and they all had to sleep together on cots. "Rob [Mac] got on the phone. He was going to call the big shots, and then I came out of the closet. I had 'em good."

Orlando Bloom wants 'everybody' back in Pirates of the Caribbean
Orlando Bloom would love to see "everybody" back for another Pirates of the Caribbean film. Disney film franchise's producer Jerry Bruckheimer, 81, recently revealed he has talked to Johnny Depp, 62, about reprising his role as Captain Jack Sparrow as work gets underway on the screenplay for a sixth film. And, Bloom has said he'd love to return as Will Turner if the rest of the cast - which also included Keira Knightley, 40, as Elizabeth Swann - agreed to reprise their roles and the script is right. As quoted by Entertainment Weekly, Bloom said at Fan Expo Chicago: 'Everything is in the writing, right? Everything is on the page, and I think there's definitely, I'm sure there's a way to create something. 'I would personally love to see everybody back. I think the way to win on that one is to get everybody back. If they can, and if everybody wanted to go back.' He continued: 'My thing is, if the script was great and — ideally it was everybody — it'd be kind of like in for a penny, in for a pound, you know." Sharing his thoughts on the reboot, the 48-year-old star said: 'What they're thinking…is how to do it. 'Do you bring in a female leading character that replicates Jack in some way? I don't know. The jury is out on how to do it again.' What may throw a spanner in the works is the fact Knightley is against the idea of being part of a franchise again. She told The Times in November: 'The hours are insane. It's years of your life, you have no control over where you're filming, how long you're filming, what you're filming." Bruckheimer recently told Entertainment Weekly Depp, like Bloom, is all about the script He said: 'If he likes the way the part's written, I think he would do it. "It's all about what's on the page, as we all know… we are still working on a screenplay. We want to make it. We just got to get the right screenplay. We haven't quite gotten there yet, but we're close." The fifth movie in the franchise, 2017's Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, saw Depp return along with Geoffrey Rush (Hector Barbossa), 74, Bloom, and Keira Knightley, 40. The following year, Disney cut ties with Depp, which he claimed was over an article his ex-wife, Amber Heard, 39, wrote - but did not mention Depp by name - in the Washington Post in 2018, which his lawyers say falsely implies he physically and sexually abused her while they were together. Depp sued Heard for her op-ed, and the jury ultimately ruled that Heard's piece, which had references to "sexual violence" and "domestic abuse", were false and defamed Depp with actual malice. While a sixth movie would be a reboot of the franchise, Bruckheimer would still like to see Jack Sparrow make an appearance. He previously told Entertainment Weekly: "It's a reboot, but if it was up to me, he would be in it. I love him. He's a good friend. He's an amazing artist, and he's a unique look. He created Captain Jack. That was not on the page; that was him doing a little Pepé Le Pew and Keith Richards. That was his interpretation of Jack Sparrow." He also revealed that Jeff Nathanson, 59, who wrote Dead Men Tell No Tales, was working on the sixth film. He said: "I think he's cracked it. He's got an amazing third act. "We just gotta clean up the first and second, and then we'll get there. But he wrote a great, great third act."
