Early Life
Sadie Sink was born Sadie Elizabeth Sink on April 16, 2002, in Brenham, Texas. She is the daughter of a math teacher and a football coach, and she has four siblings. Her ancestry is Irish, English, and German. Though she comes from a sports-oriented family, Sadie and her brother Mitchell became interested in musical theater at an early age. They performed scenes from the 2006 Disney Channel Original Movie “High School Musical” and watched Tony Award performances and Broadway plays. Sadie and Mitchell began taking acting classes when Sink was seven years old, and she soon appeared in a community theater production of “The Best Christmas Pageant Ever.” At the age of eight, Sadie landed a lead role in the play “The Secret Garden.” In 2012, the family moved to New Jersey to make it easier for Sadie and Mitchell to pursue acting careers. Sink was homeschooled in elementary and middle school, then she returned to regular school after appearing in a 2015 Broadway production of “The Audience.”

Personal Life
Sadie began having panic attacks at the age of 11 while she was starring in “Annie” on Broadway. In a 2024 interview with Variety, she said that she had initially loved starring in “Annie.” She revealed, “And then it just flipped. Singing became the worst thing ever. I was terrified by it.” Sink returned to Broadway in 2015 to play Young Queen Elizabeth II in “The Audience.” Though the role didn’t require any singing, she started feeling panicked on opening night. She stated, “But then I told myself, ‘Sadie, if you don’t do this, what else do you have?’ The anxiety had already taken singing from me. If acting was gone, then it’s just all gone.” Sadie has said that she chooses to stay quiet about her private life in order to make her acting roles seem more believable. She told Teen Vogue, “I think the more private I am, also, the more believable the roles can be. I don’t want anyone to know anything about me in my personal life or know too much about who I am just as Sadie, because I think the louder that gets, the quieter the impact of your characters can be.” Sink is a feminist and a vegan, and on social media, she encourages her fans to follow a vegetarian or vegan diet.
