Sadie Sink Revealed Why She Feels &#8220;Connected&#8221; With Her &#8216;Dear Zoe&#8217; Character and Why She Chose to Lead the Film

Stranger Things season 4 wrapped up a few months ago and yet its stars are still
making headlines. Millie Bobby Brown for example just gave a hit with the sequel
to Enola Holmes. And her fellow co-star and best friend, Sadie Sink is following
in her heels. The redhead has been working on projects besides the Duffer
brothers’ show since it is winding down.

She bagged a role in Darren Aronofsky’s The Whale which will feature later this
year. Her performance in the film has already earned several nods from the
critics. But it isn’t the only film featuring Sink that is releasing this year.
The redhead also appeared in Gren Well’s Dear Zoe
[https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-sadie-sink-talks-about-prepping-for-her-role-in-dear-zoe/].
It is a heavy film about loss and mourning, and recently, the 20-year-old
revealed the reason why she accepted the role.

SADIE SINK FELT CONNECTED TO THE TEENAGE EMOTIONS OF HER CHARACTER IN DEAR ZOE 

Despite the film releasing in 2022, the movie started filming in 2019, making
Sadie Sink [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/sadie-sink/] a teenager when she took
on the role. The movie experienced pandemic woes before it finally got a release
window this year. During the premiere of the movie August Wilson African
American Cultural Center, she revealed her reasons for playing Tess. Sadie was
exactly the right age as her character when she was approached for the role.
Moreover, the actress herself has a younger sister which allowed her to draw
from her real-life step into the character of Tess.

“I mean I was 16, 17 when I first filmed this, so I think I was right in that
age range where I really connected with the character – just with teenage
emotions and everything,” she explained
[https://www.accessonline.com/articles/sadie-sink-admits-shes-not-ready-for-stranger-things-to-end-tears-will-be-shed-exclusive]. 

Dear Zoe is about Tess who unexpectedly loses her younger sister and is overcome
with grief. She finds a way to cope when she relocates to her biological dad’s
place.

Her co-stars Kweku Collins, Sophie Guest, Emmy James, and Tanyell Waivers also
attended the premiere with her. The Whale actress looked fresh-faced at the
premiere in a simple blouse and black striped pants. She let her hair down and
kept her makeup minimal.
