Milo Manheim Reveals Jaw-Dropping, Intense Skills Training for Live-Action 'Tangled'

Get ready, Tangled fans, because it sounds like the upcoming live-action adaptation is pulling out all the stops – and its lead actors are certainly feeling the commitment! Milo Manheim, an actor many of us know from his charming roles in Disney's Zombies franchise, recently dropped some pretty exciting, albeit daunting, details about what he's been up to in preparation for his part. And let me tell you, it's far more than just memorizing lines and hitting marks on a soundstage.

Manheim has been completely immersed in what he describes as acquiring "intense skills" for the film. When we say intense, we're not talking about a quick refresher course here, or just some light choreography. He specifically highlighted a rather significant challenge he's tackling: learning to ride a horse. But not just any horse, mind you; he mentioned that a "giant stallion" is intimately involved in his training regimen. Can you just imagine? That conjures up quite a vivid, dramatic picture, doesn't it? It really underscores the kind of physical dedication and authentic, gritty performance they're aiming for with this reimagining of the beloved animated classic.

While exact details about who exactly Manheim will portray in the film are still somewhat under wraps – though many are already speculating he'd be an absolutely fantastic fit for the charming rogue, Flynn Rider, given his on-screen charisma – this revelation about the intense equestrian training certainly points towards a very active, hands-on role. Mastering a giant stallion isn't something you do casually or just for a quick scene; it speaks volumes about the physical demands and the truly immersive experience the creative team is striving for. It’s clear they want to make sure the live-action version feels as dynamic, adventurous, and truly lived-in as its animated predecessor, perhaps even more so with tangible, real-world stunts.

This level of dedication from the cast truly builds anticipation for the film, making the wait all the harder! Knowing that Manheim, and likely others involved, are putting in such rigorous work to master these demanding skills makes the prospect of seeing Tangled brought to life in a fresh, new way all the more thrilling. It's a wonderful reminder that sometimes, becoming the character means going above and beyond, truly embracing the very real, often challenging, adventures they embark upon. We’re definitely eager to see the incredible payoff of all that hard work – especially with a giant stallion in the mix!
