Sadie Sink

Sadie Sink is an American actor known for playing Max in the Netflix hit series Stranger Things.

Sadie was already a vegetarian before she went vegan at the age of 14, after filming The Glass Castle with Woody Harrelson. She said:

“He’s a very passionate vegan and his entire family is vegan as well, so by spending time with them, I was able to learn that a vegan lifestyle is totally doable and it’s not as hard as it may seem… His daughter and I had a three-day sleepover. The entire time I was with them I felt good about what I was eating, and not like I was missing anything.”¹Vegan Food & Living. 2021. Woody Harrelson showed Stranger Things’ Sadie Sink that veganism was ‘totally doable’.

Sadie is outspoken about animal rights and, in 2018, co-narrated the animal rights documentary, Dominion, for which she won the 2018 Award of Excellence for Narration by Hollywood International Independent Documentary Awards.

I did it mainly for the animals, but then also the environment as well. I think a lot of people do it for health reasons also and I think that’s great but I consider that when you’re vegan, the health benefits are a bonus. The most important thing to me is that I’m helping the animals and the environment.²Vegan Life. 2018. Sadie Sink – “I Realised Going Vegan Was The Right Thing To Do”.
