How Old Flynn Rider Is In Tangled & Why It's Controversial
Flynn Rider is 26 years old in Tangled, while Rapunzel is 17 turning 18, creating an age gap that raised some eyebrows. Flynn subverts the typical Disney prince archetype, with some finding him too cocky and obnoxious to be likable. While Flynn starts off as a thief with a price on his head, his journey with Rapunzel leads him to mature and leave his life of crime behind.
While Rapunzel’s age is a major plot point in Tangled, the hit Disney movie never states how old her love interest Flynn Rider is. The character of Flynn Rider subverts the expectations of a Disney prince, and the reveal of his age causes some eyebrows to be raised. The age gap between Flynn and Rapunzel has become a talking point.

In traditional Rapunzel stories, the damsel in distress is saved from the tower by Prince Charming, but Flynn is the polar opposite.
