Sadie Sink joins the cast of Tom Holland's Spider-Man 4

<p>Though Sadie Sink who played Max Mayfield in Netflix's popular supernatural series ‘Stranger Things’ has been receiving high adulation for her acting, the actress says that she had to do many things to prove her worth for the role. She has made a massive imprint on the audience’s minds as Max, following her character's brilliant emotional arc in season 4. However, she didn't get the role, the actress revealed.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Speaking with Fashion Magazine, Sadie spoke about the audition process she went through at 14 and how she could not make it to season 2. The 20-year-old, however, knew that she was apt to play the character Max.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In the interview, Sadie recalled how the casting team had reservations about her looks and the casting director told her she was too "old" for the role. But Sadie was determined to get the role.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"I just begged and pleaded with them to give me more material so I could show them something fresh," she said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Her hard work and determination paid off, and Sadie was quickly cast in the second season of ‘Stranger Things’ after brief chemistry read with Gaten Matarazzo, who plays Dustin Henderson, and Caleb McLaughlin, who plays Lucas Sinclair, Max’s boyfriend in the show. Eventually, Sadie has been able to establish Max Mayfield’s character in the show as one of the fans' favourites.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Sink also spoke about how the industry has an effect on child artists and their lives away from the camera. "It’s such a weird and specific situation that the ‘Stranger Things’ cast and I are all in because the world knows who our characters are, but we’re still trying to figure out who we are as people," she told the magazine.&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;"I think being in the industry accelerates you and you mature faster. But for the most part, it’s just so much fun because the cast is all going through it together," she added.&nbsp;</p>

<p>She concluded by saying, "Honestly, my life has felt a bit like a coming-of-age movie."</p>

<p>Apart from ‘Stranger Things', Sink has appeared in the FX show ‘The Americans’ and Netflix's film franchise ‘Fear Street’.</p>

<p>As Hollywood battles, a bevvy of sexual harassment charges against some its prominent figures, this new report is bound to raise more eyebrows. Turns out the Duffer brothers, the creators of Netflix&#39;s popular show,<em> Stranger Things</em>, &#39;tricked&#39; child actor Sadie Sink to film an unscripted kiss scene with fellow actor Caleb McLaughlin for an episode in the ongoing second season of <em>Stranger Things</em>.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The last-minute addition in the script came into light during the after-show known as <em>Beyond Stranger Things</em> as the cast along with the creators sat and discussed the episode.&nbsp;</p>

<p>A clip that has surfaced on Youtube shows 15-year-old Sink discussing the scene with the creators while Ross Duffer starts talking about the kiss and says, &quot;all her own fault.&quot; Sadie points out that the &quot;kiss was not part of the script.&quot; &quot;I get there, the first day of Snowball&hellip; one of you, I think it was you Ross, you say, &lsquo;Ooh, Sadie, you ready for the kiss?&rsquo; I&rsquo;m like, &lsquo;What! No! That&rsquo;s not in the script&hellip; that&rsquo;s not happening,&quot; Sadie recalled and added, &quot; So the whole day I was like stressed out, I was like oh my god, wait, am I gonna have to&hellip; and it didn&rsquo;t happen that day, but then the second day of Snow Ball.&rdquo;&nbsp;</p>

<p>Duffer then explained, &ldquo;You reacted so strongly to this&mdash;I was just joking&mdash;and you were so freaked out that I was like well, I gotta make her do it now&hellip; that&rsquo;s why I&rsquo;m saying it&rsquo;s your fault.&rdquo; And no wonder Sink was so &ldquo;stressed out&rdquo;; as she goes on to describe, the kiss was filmed in front of a full room of extras, plus &ldquo;their parents, and the crew, and my mom.&rdquo;</p>

<p>While many would argue that the kiss appeared quite harmless and innocent, the story behind it should be a point of concern where a child actor narrated how she was under stress thinking about filming an unplanned scene while the Duffer brothers and other co-actors suppressed their giggles and smiled at her.&nbsp;</p>
