Stranger Things star Sadie Sink has revealed the difficulty of keeping her co-star Dacre Montgomery's dramatic storyline under wraps while promoting the show's third season. The 17-year-old actress, who plays Max Mayfield, admitted that she found it 'really hard not to say anything' about Billy's arc in interviews.
Speaking to Teen Vogue on Wednesday, Sink explained that even now she still gets nervous discussing the plot. 'Even now, just saying that right there, I still got nervous. I'm still not used to being able to talk about it openly,' she said.
Billy, the bad boy of season two, became a central figure in season three after the Mind Flayer took over his body to seek revenge on Eleven. In the finale, Billy managed to overcome the entity's control and sacrificed himself to protect the others.
Sink reflected on her character's reaction to her brother's death, noting that it makes sense for Max to hide her emotions. 'In true Max fashion, she's not going to let anyone see how she's really feeling at some points,' she said.
The actress also praised the growing friendship between Max and Eleven, which developed after Eleven's relationship with Mike hit a rough patch. 'Though Max may be corrupting her in some ways, I think the overall friendship between the two was what the show really needed,' she added.
Netflix has yet to confirm whether the hit sci-fi series will be renewed for a fourth season.
