Hannah Waddingham Slams Photographer for Telling Her 'Show Me Leg'

The Emmy winner confronted a paparazzo before hosting the Olivier Awards, which celebrate the best in U.K. theater.

In a video captured and shared by X (formerly Twitter) user @odeiotedlasso, Waddingham, 49, is shown posing for photos outside the Royal Albert Hall when she stops to address the photographer, who remains offscreen. According to Waddingham, she once was mocked and insulted in front of her class by a drama teacher who opined on why she felt the young aspiring actress would never be successful on screen. Waddingham subsequently got her largest role to date starring as Rebecca Welton on all three seasons of Ted Lasso, which ultimately earned her an Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series.
