<p>Speaking on The Crew Has It podcast, Good explained that she deliberately accepted the role to break away from being typecast as a teenager.</p>
<p>Despite being around 19 at the time, she was still being offered roles portraying girls as young as 14 and 15.</p>
<p>Good says the music video helped audiences recognise her as a young adult, although her manager initially opposed the decision.</p>
<p>She acknowledged that while the appearance changed public perception, it also led to a different kind of typecasting in Hollywood.</p>]]></content:encoded>
