In the animated film “Tangled,” Eugene Fitzherbert, commonly known as Flynn Rider, has no explicitly mentioned age, leaving fans to speculate about his background and how old he might be. However, various sources and additional content beyond the movie provide some insights into his age.

During interviews with the writers after the movie’s release, there was a loose consensus that Eugene is likely in his twenties, with the number 22 being referenced a couple of times. But it’s in the animated TV series, “Tangled: The Series,” that more specific information about his age is revealed.

In the second season’s finale, it’s disclosed that Eugene is actually the son of King Edmund. This revelation reshapes his backstory and confirms his age to be 25 years old in that particular episode. By the third and final season of the series, he turns 26, indicating a clear progression in his age.

The animated series takes place a few years after the events depicted in the movie “Tangled.” Based on this timeline, Eugene’s age in the original film would have been around 23 or 24. When he and Rapunzel finally get married in the short film “Tangled Ever After,” he would be 26 years old, or possibly older.

For those eager to revisit Eugene and Rapunzel’s journey, both the movie “Tangled” and the subsequent series “Tangled: The Series” are available for streaming on Disney Plus, providing further depth to their adventures and character development beyond what’s seen in the original film.
