How old is Sadie Sink? 'Stranger Things' star's age almost cost her the role

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: It's hard to imagine any other actress playing Max Mayfield on 'Stranger Things', not after Sadie Sink made the role her own in the hit 80s Netflix horror drama. But it wasn't almost to be as the Texas star almost lost the role because of her age. She was 14 when she auditioned for the show, but per her recent interview with Fashion Magazine, this was older than what the showrunners expected.

Sink's character had one of the more crucial roles in 'Stranger Things' Season 4. Both the volumes saw her fend off the Vecna (Jamie Campbell Bower) threat with some help from Kate Bush and her 'Running Up the Hill'. She was a target since Volume 1 given her traumatic past, and just before Vecna makes a hasty retreat after battling Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown), he attacks Max who breaks all her limbs and loses her sight. She dies for well over a minute only for Eleven to bring her back. The final minutes see her in a coma, and with the merge of the evil dimension shown, expect her to play a key role in Season 5.
