Sadie Sink opens up on how her approach to social media changed with Stranger Things

  • April 9, 2026

She added: “It’s nice to step away from it.”

Her co-star Noah Jupe revealed he decided to quit social media cold turkey at the start of the year.

He said: “People try and make you think it does [have an impact on your career] but it doesn’t, and I realised it was just not healthy.”

Noah realised that the two and a half hours a day he was spending on social media could be better spent on other activities.

He explained: “So if I took it away, I’d get to watch a movie a day. And that’s what I’ve been doing this year so far.”

Sadie previously revealed how she was “resistant” to opening up about herself when she was younger, and she’s pleased she did so because she thinks it makes her performances more believable.

She told Australia’s ELLE magazine: “When I was younger, I thought maybe I needed to be more open about who I was because there’s so much public interest.

“But I was always resistant, and now I’m really grateful because I’d rather people see me as Max than Sadie. If I can leave myself out of it, then I’ve done my job.”
