LifestyleTranscript
00:00Yeah, I definitely spoil a lot of Stranger Things for my family.
00:03Like, if you want a spoiler, I will give it to you.
00:08Hey, Glamour, I'm Sadie Sink, and I'm here to answer an excessive amount of questions.
00:16So the categories that we have here are lifestyle, the price of fame, personality, womanhood,
00:24likes and dislikes, love and relationships, wildcard and career.
00:29I'm going to start with career.
00:32Describe your first day on set for Stranger Things.
00:35The first day, I was 14 years old.
00:37It was one of the Halloween trick-or-treating scenes.
00:41I was dressed like Michael Myers.
00:44I think I just had to, like, scare the boys or something.
00:47But I was very nervous.
00:48I had met the cast and stuff and everyone, but it was still such a nerve-wracking day
00:52because it's, like, the first lines, your first impression, your first time as this character.
00:57But I also remember, like, it was a night shoot, so it was super fun to, like, be up super late.
01:03And, yeah, it was a good first day.
01:04I mean, I was already friends with everyone because we had to do school.
01:08So I'd spent a lot of time with them already.
01:11We just got even closer and I was able to kind of relax a little bit.
01:15Likes and dislikes.
01:16What's an appetizer you'll always order if it's on the menu?
01:20Crudité and hummus.
01:22Always.
01:22Always, always, always.
01:24I love it when they have just, like, radish, I guess, or fennel.
01:29If they have fennel, you know it's a good crudité.
01:31Personality.
01:33Are you more of a dog person or a cat person?
01:35I like both.
01:36I genuinely am very split down the middle.
01:39Cats are very, like, they're very low maintenance, which I like.
01:42I have cats, yes.
01:44I have two.
01:45Two.
01:45Yeah, two boys.
01:47Let's go for the price of fame.
01:49What's an item that fans want you to autograph the most?
01:53It's always the Funko Pops.
01:55Like, so many of the Stranger Things action figure Funko Pops.
01:59And, like, sometimes phone cases a lot.
02:03Couple of arms.
02:04Like, just, like, arms.
02:06Which I have stopped doing because it's too much pressure.
02:09Describe your personal style in three words.
02:12Comfortable.
02:14Neutral.
02:15I really like suiting.
02:16So, suit?
02:17I don't know.
02:18Just suit?
02:19I've gotten to a point where I really don't care what I wear in my everyday life.
02:22When I'm alone, I, I don't know.
02:24It's whatever's clean.
02:26Did you do wild card?
02:27What's a fun fact about yourself that you want added to your Wikipedia page?
02:31Honestly, nothing.
02:32I think the less on there, the better, probably.
02:35Let's just keep it really plain.
02:37Who is someone you love, that you wish you spoke to more often?
02:42Probably my little sister.
02:44She's 15 now.
02:45She's all grown up.
02:46But she lives, like, in New Jersey.
02:47So, I don't see her as much as I would like to.
02:50We're a big musical theater family.
02:52And she loves musical theater, too.
02:53So, I feel like anytime she's over to my house, she's, like, always on the piano and we're singing.
02:58She's the best.
02:59She came to see me in John Proctor's The Villain on Broadway.
03:02I think, like, that was the coolest thing I've ever done in her eyes.
03:06And she loved it.
03:07Yeah, and she's, like, the perfect age for it.
03:09So, she just really loved the play a lot and took her whole school, her whole drama program to come and see it.
03:14So, that was great.
03:15Food likes and dislikes again.
03:17What kind of sweet treat do you like to have for your birthday?
03:20I honestly, like, I don't really like cake that much because I have a problem with icing.
03:24But I usually do have it on my birthday.
03:26My mom brought over some kind of vegan, gluten-free bunk cake for my birthday because there was no icing on it.
03:33So, it was the best.
03:34Not much of a birthday person, to be honest.
03:36How is the acting process different from being in music videos versus acting in TV slash movies?
03:42You mean all too well.
03:43Honestly, like, that kind of felt like it was, like, a movie in a way.
03:47There wasn't, like, it's not like they had, like, music playing on the set or anything.
03:50I mean, it's all too well.
03:51I knew the song.
03:52I guess the biggest difference is, like, there's not really, like, a set script.
03:58It only takes, like, a couple of days.
04:02Whereas, film and TV, you're with a character for a very, very long time.
04:06So, it's pretty well developed.
04:08You kind of get to grow with the character.
04:10And something I loved about playing Max, too, is that I got to grow up with her.
04:14Here we go.
04:15What's the best Halloween costume you've ever worn?
04:18The best one I've ever had probably would have to be when I was little and, like, my mom was in charge of it.
04:23I was Pebbles from the Flintstones.
04:25That was a good one.
04:26I was also Tinkerbell for several years.
04:28Also a great costume.
04:30As a grown-up, no, I'm kind of, I've been slacking a lot.
04:33I get dressed up all the time for either, like, shoots or for movies or whatever I'm working on.
04:41So, just another time where I have to get dressed up, I'm like, I don't really, I don't really need that.
04:49What's the hardest thing about getting famous at such a young age?
04:52You have to grow up a lot faster, but I also think I kind of, like, already had that before Stranger Things, just, like, working in theater and I was around adults a lot.
05:01But definitely, like, there is a lot of responsibility.
05:05I think also, like, pressure when you're in the public eye.
05:08I was always, like, super scared of, like, messing up.
05:11I was just always kind of anxious about that when I was younger and just feeling, like, a little bit isolated from, like, your high school or whatever.
05:18I didn't really have that.
05:20But overall, I think, like, having the boys on the show who were all kind of going through the same thing, that helped a lot.
05:26The hardest part was when, like, you would leave them because, like, you know, you shoot for a year and then there's, like, a couple years in between seasons.
05:33I'm going to miss that about the show.
05:34It's just, like, having that to come back to.
05:36Do you have a favorite dinosaur?
05:39Pterodactyl.
05:39That's the one that flies, right?
05:41Okay, yeah, that's my favorite.
05:42It flies.
05:43I don't know.
05:44It's really cool.
05:45I also remember there was this show called Dinosaur Train on PBS when I was younger and it followed a family of pterodactyls and I haven't really thought about it until this moment.
05:55But, yeah, I loved it.
05:57Would you ever consider releasing your own music?
06:00No.
06:01Definitely not.
06:03I don't know.
06:04I don't.
06:04I.
06:05No, I just wouldn't.
06:06I, like, sang for one movie and I'm, like, okay, I think I'm good.
06:10I don't need to try it.
06:11Yeah.
06:12It's just so scary.
06:13I don't know.
06:14I get so scared with it.
06:15I like singing with friends, though.
06:16That's fun.
06:17Maybe wild card.
06:17Why not?
06:18What's an object you lost as a child that you still think about today?
06:23Oh.
06:24I was really into American Girl dolls and I had this one that I think my mom accidentally threw in the trash.
06:31I'm not sure how that happened, but it did, and I think about that a lot.
06:37If you had an American Girl doll when you were younger, like, those are prized possessions, as was mine.
06:42I forgot what her name was.
06:43I think I named her Caroline or something.
06:45She wasn't a historical one.
06:47She was, like, yeah, like a, what did you, what did they call it?
06:50Like a Just Like Me doll.
06:51Did you probably have a historical one?
06:53Yes, I did.
06:54I had Emily, who was Molly's friend, but she had red hair and blue eyes, so I really liked her a lot.
07:01Do you prefer working in movies, TV, or on stage?
07:04On stage, I think.
07:05It's definitely the biggest challenge.
07:07I think it's the most rewarding.
07:09They're all rewarding, but, like, being on stage and, like, also just getting to act every night.
07:15It was amazing to have that.
07:16Even on the days where it's like, oh, I don't want to do a show.
07:19So often in film and TV, it's like you're not working every single day or it can feel like you're just waiting around a lot.
07:24But with the stage, it's like you get to act every day.
07:29And, yeah, that's something that I miss.
07:32Describe the last dream you remember.
07:34Oh, my God.
07:35I dreamed that, like, I had to wake up and go and do John Proctor again, which I'm not doing that show right now.
07:43But I've been getting a lot of dreams where I wake up thinking that I have to do it, and I'm like, oh, God, I haven't done it in a while.
07:49Like, I'm going to be a little rusty.
07:51And then I wake up and I'm very relieved that that doesn't have to happen.
07:55John Proctor-related dreams, which makes sense because, yeah, I was doing it every day.
08:00Oh, yeah, I'll be executive producing the movie adaptation of John Proctor as the villain, which I've never done before.
08:08I'm very excited.
08:09I love Kimberly Bellflower so much, and she's brilliant.
08:13And so to be able to kind of continue this collaboration with her is, yeah, I'm super excited.
08:19And it'll be such a great education, too.
08:22Is it your first producing photo?
08:24Yeah.
08:24It'll be a learning curve for sure, but I care about this material so, so much.
08:28Just to be in the room with the people that are making this happen is going to be, yeah.
08:34I'm super excited, yeah.
08:37What movie or TV show do you quote the most?
08:40Probably The Devil Wears Prada.
08:42Me and my brother quote that all the time.
08:44By all means, move at a glacial pace.
08:46You know how it thrills me.
08:47I feel like I've met Anne.
08:50I have not met Meryl.
08:52I would definitely remember if I met Meryl Streep, but I have not met her yet.
08:57But one day.
08:57Do you think pets love you as much as you love them?
09:00I'd like to think yes.
09:02If I'm just talking about my cats, I just got them.
09:04So I think it's more of a slow burn on their end, but I definitely am obsessed with them.
09:10I like the wild card ones.
09:11Who was your favorite teacher growing up?
09:13Well, I mean, we had an on-set tutor that was with us from ages 14 through 18.
09:20Our teacher Marina, she was there.
09:22She was even there for the last season, because if there's ever a kid in a scene, she's always with them.
09:26We're basically required to get three hours of schoolwork done every single day that we're working or not working during a school day.
09:33Sometimes you can get a minimum of one hour, and the other two hours you have to pull from your bank, which is a series of extra hours that you've built up over the time.
09:41So say I went in to do school on an off day, did five hours, then those two would go into my bank.
09:49And they want you to build up the bank as much as you can.
09:51So if it's a very busy day and you only have time for one hour of school, then they can pull from the bank.
09:57But yeah, it's chaotic.
09:58You never get anything done, because also sometimes you're just working in, like, 20-minute increments.
10:04That's a big ask for a kid who doesn't want to be doing school anyway.
10:09But yeah, she was definitely by far my favorite teacher and one of my only teachers.
10:12No, I had many, but, like, I was with her the most.
10:14So, yeah.
10:15Marina.
10:16Have you ever kept one of your costumes?
10:18What did you keep?
10:19I usually keep, like, something from everything.
10:21Always the shoes.
10:22Any shoes that I wear, I have to take home with me.
10:26So I have, like, all of Max's vans.
10:28And then, like, the boots I wore in John Proctor, I just kept those.
10:31I also have Max's watch.
10:33I took a lot from Stranger Things.
10:34I have her watch.
10:35I have jackets.
10:36I have hoodies.
10:37I have skateboards.
10:39I have Walkmans, cassette tapes.
10:41Yeah, I have all the Max essentials for sure.
10:44But my favorite is her skateboard, and I have it, like, hanging above one of the doors in my house, which I love.
10:49Have you ever accidentally spoiled your movies or TV shows for your friends?
10:55Never accidentally, but I definitely do.
10:58Like, if you want a spoiler, I will give it to you.
11:03But it's only if I, like, really trust the person.
11:05It usually involves me, like, joking about something that I had to do on screen.
11:10But, yeah, I definitely spoil a lot of Stranger Things for my family.
11:14I don't know.
11:15Like, you spend so much time in between seasons where it's, like, you forget that, like, oh, this is a big show, and people really care about spoilers.
11:24So it's, you always have to remind yourself to be a little bit more secretive about things.
11:28What's a beauty secret you learned from a family member?
11:39Nothing.
11:39What's your favorite girl power anthem?
11:42I don't know, probably, like, Spice Girls or something.
11:44What Olympic sport do you think you'd be best at?
11:47God, like, nothing.
11:49What was your style icon growing up?
11:51I didn't have one.
11:52I didn't care.
11:53What do you wish more people asked you about in interviews?
11:57Theater, Broadway, what that was like, I guess, when I was little.
12:01What color do you always look good in?
12:03Blue, hopefully.
12:04I don't know.
12:05How long did it take to learn your best red carpet poses?
12:09It's still a work in progress.
12:10I have no idea.
12:11No one ever taught me how to do that.
12:13Have you ever read a harmless fact about yourself that was completely false all the time?
12:17What event have you been to that had the best food?
12:21Ooh, not an event, but I went to Eleven Madison Park for the first time recently, and it was
12:25incredible.
12:26What is the item you've collected the most of?
12:29Shoes.
12:30What's a weird but harmless gift a fan has sent you?
12:33A photo of my dad?
12:35What labels and boxes have you been put in that you've had to shake off?
12:39I guess that I'm still 14 years old, but I don't, I mean, whatever.
12:43Do you know you're my, no, I don't.
12:45What is this?
12:46Myers-Briggs personality type?
12:48No, I'm an Aries.
12:49I don't know if that is what that means.
12:51When was the first moment you realized you were famous?
12:54Probably when like people like were shouting my name at the, at something.
12:58And I was like, oh, they know my name.
13:00What's a hobby you wish you had more time for?
13:03I guess any hobby in general.
13:04I don't really have any hobbies.
13:06So I wish I had more time for any hobby.
13:08What is your earliest memory from childhood?
13:10Probably my dad teaching me how to ride a bike.
13:13Oh no, right.
13:13I was riding a scooter.
13:14I was riding a scooter.
13:15It was my birthday and I made a grand entrance into the dining room and it was on my scooter
13:21and I was wearing a princess dress and that's the earliest memory I have.
13:27Wow.
13:28Glamour, that really was an excessive amount of questions.
13:31Thank you so much for joining me.
13:33That was a lot, but they were good ones.
13:36They were really good, like fun ones that you don't get to answer all the time.
13:40Goodbye.
