Aronofsky LOVED working with Sadie Sink in The Whale

Darren Aronofsky, overall, seems to be really happy with Sadie’s work in the film. Sadie Sink was even younger when she was actively shooting Aronofsky’s most recent movie; she will only be 20 years old when The Whale hits cinemas this year. Despite being so young, Aronofsky and Fraser both praised her performance in a recent feature of the movie with the kind of veneration usually reserved for experienced actors.

Aronofsky told Vanity Fair, “To be around someone that young and that in control of their craft and that prepared and professional—I was always blown away, as, I think, was Brendan.” That is correct! Not just Aronofsky but Sadie’s co-star in the film Brendan Fraser was also quite impressed with her skills. He said that he had a front-row ticket to see this youngster win the game ball every day she worked with him.
