Megan was asked whether her looks have hindered her acting career in any way. Answering truthfully, the Divorce in the Black star said,

“I can’t tell you how many times I’ve walked into something and I’ve had an audition and they were like ‘She was great but we just don’t realistically believe her as this character because she’s a pretty girl.’ And I’m like, how can you determine what that character should look like or even what I will look like when I [take the role.]”

Meagan Good continued, sharing there have been moments when the leading man was cast and she was passed on a role because “he doesn’t look like he could get her.”

She added, “That’s doing the character a disservice because that means you’re just saying she’s just only about the look.”

Meagan Good continued, saying despite her having a good reputation in the industry, sometimes people will still be shocked she’s not a mean girl or surprised she’s intelligent because of how she looks.

Meagan added, “At the end of the day, there’s no complaints. My life has been incredible, and I’m thankful for everything exactly as it is…”
