Going bald isn't an easy feat for most people.

But for local actress Julie Tan who had to do so for her role in the new movie Good Goodbye, it was something she was initially excited to do.

In a recent interview with AsiaOne, the 31-year-old shared: "I was very ready to shave my head. In fact, I didn't have any negative feelings until I was almost done filming the movie and I started going out."

She added how she felt negative every time she returned home: "I would go out and someone would look at me. They will look at me in a very… you kind of know that it's not a very nice look.

"Maybe a look of judgement and maybe some confusion, but mainly I did get feedback from people."

She recalled how a cab driver once made a remark about her appearance.

"This uncle was like, 'Girls shouldn't be shaving their head,' and 'Why did you shave your head?' I do get comments like that. I was a little bit puzzled," said Julie.

"Then at that moment it made me realise that people with cancer are not only battling the illness, but they also need to face this kind of psychological pressure from society as well."
