Moore shares Gus, who turns 3 in February, with her husband Taylor Goldsmith, along with their 13-month-old son Oscar “Ozzie” Bennett.

On Thursday, Moore shared a photo on Instagram from her recent trip to the Disney Parks — which originally prompted Fallon’s question, as she held Gus while posing next to Rapunzel and Flynn Rider, the character’s lover (voiced by Zachary Levi).

“Gus doesn’t care about Tangled and really doesn’t care that Mom and Rapunzel are ‘close friends,'” Moore joked in the caption.

“If I knew Lightning McQueen, it would be a different story 🤷‍♀️,” she added. “Thanks for having us @disneyparks — you’re always magical, but seeing the world through Gus’ eyes is a whole new game.”

In her interview with Fallon, 49, on Monday, Moore noted that Rapunzel and the other characters in the Disney parks are “so solid in character” that there wasn’t even a “wink” or any hint that the other princess knew Moore’s connection to the Role.
