Sadie Sink has been marvelous this year. Known for her character Max Mayfield in the blockbuster drama and thriller series, Stranger Things, this star cast who started as a child artist has come way too far. In a recent interaction, the actress threw light on the beginning of her profession as an actor. Here’s what she said about her past self.

Sadie Sink shares her initial experiences during auditions for Stranger Things

Stranger Things‘ sweetheart, Sadie Sink, had a bewildering revelation for her fans while speaking to Fashion Magazine. Talking about how she came to get the part she plays, she told how she was sidelined in the beginning because of her being “too old” for the role even though she was just fourteen at the time of the audition. She said that she practically had to ‘beg‘ and ‘plead‘ for the producers to give her a wider radius of subject matter to act upon and prove to them that she was right for the role.

Eventually, she landed a chemistry read with soon-to-be fellow actors, Gaten Matarazzo (Dustin) and Caleb McLaughlin (Lucas). The rest is history. Sadie Sink got the confirmation for her role the very next day.

How playing Max Mayfield helped Sadie build up her character

Sadie admits that while the fifth season is up in the works, she’s yet to find out whether she has become more or less like her character. “I don’t think I’m as cold as she is, but I can sometimes be slightly emotionally unavailable”, she said. Sadie says that being in the spotlight has also affected her teen years substantially.

Playing a major role in a major series has definitely ‘accelerated’ her and helped her become more mature. On top of it, the fact that the whole cast goes through the process together just makes it more ‘fun’ for her. “I would’ve loved to have been in a school production with kids my age,” she said when asked about what she felt like about missing out on the “High School Musical Fantasy” part of her teen life.
