Speaking with Smith, the “Taste” singer admitted that while her choice to cast Keoghan may have seemed biased, it was actually Keoghan’s talent that sealed the deal.

“I, genuinely – like, a not-even-biased-opinion – I was like, ‘Who’s the greatest actor that I can find for this music video?’ And he was next to me in a chair,” Carpenter told Smith.Sabrina Carpenter Reveals Why She Cast Barry Keoghan in Please Please Please

“She just texted me and she sent me the information,” Ortega told Capital.

“And I had one day off in LA and I wasn’t going to do anything, I was going to rest because we were doing [Beetlejuice] press and shooting season 2 of Wednesday but Sabrina has also been so kind and generous towards me even when no one cared, I’ve known her since I was 12 and we get along really well and she’s a friend,” Ortega continued.Sabrina Carpenter Reveals Why She Cast Barry Keoghan in Please Please Please

“So I was like, ‘Yeah of course I’ll do this for you’ I feel like she’d do the same for me but it was just so much fun. It’s nice when you do things like that, it doesn’t feel like work,” Ortega said.
