Hannah Waddingham, the piqued reply to the sexist photographer goes viral. And social media sides with the actress

The other women present gave her an ovation, but Hannah Waddingham she was furious to say the least when she left the red carpet of the Olivier Awards (the British recognition given by Society of London Theatre and intended for theatrical and musical works and performers). And she didn’t bother hiding it. What made the star of “Ted Lasso” so angry – who was also the host of the evening – was the inappropriate request that she heard from a photographer, while she was posing for the usual photos out of Royal Albert Hall. The man would in fact have asked her to show her legs in favor of her goal and at that point Waddingham exploded.

“Oh my God, you would never say something like that to a man, my friend,” commented the actress, visibly annoyed, before continuing her rant. «Don’t be an asshole, otherwise I’ll leave. Don’t say “show me your leg”. No”. This was then followed by another rapid exchange of words away from the microphones and in the end the actress moved away from the staircase at a fast pace and increasingly angrier, to join some people nearby, while the crowd welcomed with convinced applause and shouts of I approve of his reaction towards the photographer guilty of having made such a sexist and inappropriate request.

Obviously the entire scene was filmed by smartphones and ended up online, quickly becoming viral https://twitter.com/odeiotedlasso/status/1779635475419979847?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1779635475419979847%7Ctwgr%5Ee160b244efef6ad788460ec2f196028401fe761e%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fmovieplayer.it%2Fnews%2Fhannah-waddingham-fotografo-oliver-award-2024-non-essere-coglione_140777%2F (the former Twitter) and among the many comments in favor of Waddingham, the one by stands out Sharon Stone. “She’s my friend”, commented the actress, underlining the reaction of her London colleague who, moreover, has already shown in the past that she is not the type to keep quiet when something doesn’t sit well with her. For example, three years ago Waddingham had heavily attacked the screenwriters of “Game of thrones” because in one episode they had forced her to undergo the practice of “waterboarding” (i.e. simulated drowning) for 10 hours due to script requirements, which had caused chronic claustrophobia.
