Reneé Rapp Tells Ziwe She Wouldn’t Star In a Live-Action ‘Frozen’ As Elsa Is ‘Kind of Annoying’
The singer previously starred in the live-action adaptation of Broadway's Mean Girls.
Reneé Rapp became a movie star in 2024 by starring as Regina George in the film version of Broadway’s Mean Girls — but according to the pop star, there’s another blonde character she’d never want to portray in a live action film.
In an interview with Ziwe posted Thursday (June 12), Rapp was frank when asked whether she’d play Elsa in a live-action version of Disney’s animated film Frozen. “No,” the singer-actress replied. “I don’t like the braid and the blue dress.”
“Also, she’s kind of annoying to me,” Rapp added of the ice queen, laughing. “It’s OK, girl, just relax.”
Frozen premiered in theaters in 2013, with stage legend Idina Menzel providing the original voice of Elsa — and earning a Billboard Hot 100 hit with “Let It Go” reaching No. 5 on the chart. The film was later adapted into a Broadway musical that debuted in 2017.
Mean Girls, Tina Fey’s 2004 comedy, became a hit Broadway show in 2018. Six years later, Rapp — who starred as Regina George on Broadway — adapted her role for the screen.
For the Mean Girls film, Rapp also released an original song titled “Not My Fault” featuring her now-friend Megan Thee Stallion. The singer has been vocal in her love for the rapper, including when it comes to Meg’s legal battle with Tory Lanez, who in 2023 was convicted of shooting her in the foot in 2020 and sentenced to 10 years in prison. “I love Megan Thee Stallion,” Rapp told Extra last year. “I love her. If anybody tries her when it comes to that sorry a– man, it’s a do or die fight for me.”
When Ziwe asked for Rapp’s opinion on recent reports that Lanez was stabbed in prison, the singer echoed her past sentiment. “I feel like a lot of people get stabbed, and that’s OK,” Rapp said. “Maybe we should be doing it more. Maybe we should be stabbing more.”
Rapp’s interview with Ziwe comes as the pop star is gearing up to release new album Bite Me on Aug. 1. The LP was preceded by edgy single “Leave Me Alone,” which she performed at the 2025 American Music Awards after it dropped in May.
The Sex Lives of College Girls alum last released an album in 2023, unveiling Snow Angel and reaching No. 44 on the Billboard 200.
