Sadie Sink Covers The New Issue Of L’OFFICIEL USA

Sadie Sink is on the cover of the new issue of L’OFFICIEL USA. The young actress is on the cover to promote her new film, The Whale. Highlights from her interview are below.

On how she was approached for a role in The Whale: “Darren reached out and asked if I could participate in a reading of what was being referred to as the ‘Untitled Darren Aronofsky Project.’ It was right before COVID hit. I showed up at a random theater, got sat next to Brendan [Fraser], and then we read [the script for] The Whale. From reading my character, Ellie, and being with Brendan, I knew that there was something in the air. It was not clear whether or not the project would even happen, but for everyone in that room, I think we all knew that we could do something really special.”

On her friendship with Taylor Swift: “Taylor has been in this industry for so long—and granted it’s a slightly different industry than the one that I’m in—but still, she’s got a lot of good advice, especially for someone like me who’s younger and easily overwhelmed. It’s nice to have her in my corner. When your work life is moving at 100 miles per hour or you feel like your work is the only life that you have, it gets tough to balance everything. It can get really tricky. The advice that she’s given me has been about personal friendships that I needed help navigating, and situations that she could relate to.”

On where she wants to see her career progress: “I’m happy where I am. I’m working consistently on projects that I actually want to work on rather than just for the sake of working. After working with Darren, I want to make sure to continue to work with directors who could help me grow as an actor. I’m still very young and I’ve got a lot to learn.”
