My experience was very untraditional, but so was Shelby&#8217;s and I&#8217;ve found ways to marry the two.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>In the play, Sadie stars as a high school student who previously had a relationship with a teacher and claimed that she had &#8220;learned so much&#8221; from her fellow cast members, and even though she is the lead, she insisted that there is &#8220;no star&#8221; in the play.  <\/p>\n<p>She added: &#8220;It&#8217;s very surreal, it&#8217;s such an ensemble piece &#8211; truly. There really is no star, and to be surrounded by everyone in this cast and to learn so much from them, that has been my biggest takeaway so far.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nSadie recently wrapped filming on the final season of &#8216;Stranger Things&#8217; &#8211; in which she plays Max Mayfield &#8211; and admitted that she &#8220;cried so much&#8221; during her last days on set.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe told The Hollywood Reporter: &#8220;I haven\u2019t seen anything from it yet, I\u2019m very curious though. It\u2019s going to be super emotional so I\u2019m ready to cry with everyone.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;I had cried so much that my eyes were so puffy \u2014 they had never been like that before and there are some pretty embarrassing photos of me just with these giant puffy eyes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/sadie-sink-looks-back-untraditional-experience-child-star-1417191.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>19 April 2025 Sadie Sink thinks she was a &#8220;mature&#8221; child star.
