Stranger Things' Sadie Sink admits her 'awkward' first kiss was with her co-star
Sadie Sink has spilled the beans on her first kiss and admitted she found the experience "awkward".
The actress, who plays Max Mayfield in Netflix's hit show Stranger Things, said she shared her first kiss with her co-star Caleb McLaughlin, who plays Lucas Sinclair.
The kiss happened while filming the second season of the show when Sadie and Caleb were 15 and 16, respectively.
In the show, the pair's characters started dating in season two and shared a kiss at their school's winter dance.
"We were both awkward, but it was also funny because all our friends were there and all these extras and lights and music," Sadie said in a new interview.

The kiss caused a lot of controversy at the time, with the creators of Stranger Things facing criticism for "forcing" Sadie to film the scene.
In an episode of behind-the-scenes show Beyond Stranger Things, host Jim Rish asked the actress about the scene and she admitted that it was unplanned.

Ross said: "You reacted so strongly to this. I was just joking.
"You were so freaked out that I was like, 'Well I gotta make her do it now'."
The kiss was then written into the script on the second day of filming and was shot in front of a couple of hundred extras, crew members and their parents.
