Frozen icon Idina Menzel admits breaking law to chase dream
Frozen star Idina Menzel reveals she’s broken a few laws on her journey to fame
Idina Menzel, American actress and singer known for her powerful voice in Broadway hits and Disney’s Frozen, has recently revealed that she’s broken a few laws on her journey to fame.
The 53-year-old star began her career as a teen singing at weddings and she didn’t have a driver’s license. The singer said that she drove anyway to make it to her gigs, saying: “I had to get to those weddings somehow.”
While speaking on 'The Kelly Clarkson Show', Idina shared with Andy Cohen: "I was about 17 years old. So I was just at a junior licence, which meant you couldn't drive at night, but I'd drive illegally to every temple, every temple all over the tri-state area.
The Enchanted star, who later became even more famous as the voice of Elsa in Disney’s Frozen, said she just “couldn’t believe” she was actually making money as a singer at the time.
She added: "Honestly, back then, when I was 17, I couldn't believe I was making money as a professional singer."
However, Idina was later surprised when a couple from the audience revealed that she sang at their wedding over 30 years ago, and to prove it, they brought an old photo of her from that day.
