Emmy Award-winning actress Hannah Waddingham chastised a photographer who she 
said asked her to show some leg as she posed for photos at the Olivier Awards 
in London on Sunday.

The 49-year-old responded to the photographer’s request in a moment that was 
caught on video by a fan. It’s since been circulating on social media.

The “Ted Lasso” star, who was hosting the event, stopped on the steps of the 
venue and could be heard saying, “Oh my God, you’d never say that to a man. 
Don’t be a d***, otherwise I’ll move off. Don’t say ‘show me leg.’ No.”

	long story short: hannah was being her gorgeous self and the ?? made 
	some comment about her leg we couldn't quite make out and… well, the 
	video speaks for itself. This woman is a role model. Always, always 
	call pricks out on their bullshit.

Waddingham shook her head and walked away, still speaking emphatically to the 
unidentified photographer as she moved on.

The British actress and TV presenter will appear in “The Fall Guy” and 
“Mission Impossible—Dead Reckoning Part 2” later this year. 

Waddingham performed a number with singer and pianist Joe Stilgoe at the 
beginning of the awards show on Sunday, which she also hosted last year. The 
event celebrates the best of London theater. A few winners of the night 
include singer Nicole Scherzinger, “Succession” star Sarah Snook, and “Game 
of Thrones” actor Mark Gatiss. 

“Ted Lasso” is a popular Apple TV+ sports comedy-drama television series 
based on a character Jason Sudeikis portrayed in promotional media for NBC 
Sports’s coverage of England’s Premier League. The show follows Ted Lasso 
(Sudeikis), an American college football coach hired to lead an English 
soccer team whose owner secretly hopes the team will fail. But Lasso leads 
them to unexpected success.

Waddingham plays the character Rebecca Welton, the new owner of AFC Richmond, 
on the show.

The comedy’s first season was nominated for 20 Primetime Emmy Awards, making 
it the most nominated first-season comedy in Emmy show history. It went on to 
win a slew of other accolades, including the Best Actress Emmy for Waddingham 
in 2021. 

Waddingham said she keeps her Emmy in her young daughter’s bedroom as a 
reminder that “her mummy will only ever be away when it’s for a really, 
blooming good reason.”
