Los Angeles, April 20 (NationPress) Hollywood actress Sadie Sink revealed that she was quite mature for her age while working as a child performer. The 23-year-old actress landed the title role in the Broadway revival of 'Annie' when she was just 10 years old.
Her rise to global recognition began with her role in the Netflix sensation 'Stranger Things' in 2016, according to reports from Female First UK.
In her latest performance as the rebellious Shelby in the play 'John Proctor Is the Villain', she aims to channel her unconventional journey.
Sadie stated during an interview with AccessHollywood, "I believe there was a certain level of maturity that I possessed at a young age, which I subconsciously incorporate into my portrayal of Shelby. My background was quite untraditional, much like Shelby's, and I've found ways to blend the two together."
In this production, Sadie portrays a high school student who previously had a relationship with a teacher. She noted that she has gained invaluable insights from her fellow cast members, emphasizing that despite being the lead, there is truly no star in this ensemble.
She remarked, "It's incredibly surreal, as it is a genuine ensemble piece. There really is no star, and being surrounded by this talented cast and learning from them has been my greatest takeaway so far."
As reported by Female First UK, the actress recently completed filming for the final season of 'Stranger Things', where she portrays Max Mayfield. She confessed to having cried significantly during her last days on set.
In her conversation with The Hollywood Reporter, she shared, "I haven't seen any footage from it yet, but I'm very eager. It promises to be profoundly emotional, so I'm prepared to shed tears with everyone."
“I cried so much that my eyes became incredibly puffy — I'd never experienced that before, and there are some rather awkward pictures of me with these huge, swollen eyes,” she added.
