Hannah Waddingham, the talented star of ‘Ted Lasso’, recently called out a photographer who made a sexist remark on the red carpet at the Olivier Awards in London. The incident occurred as Waddingham, who was hosting the awards ceremony, was preparing to pose for photos in a stunning lavender gown with a thigh-high slit.

In a video shared on social media, the photographer’s comment is inaudible, but it visibly upsets Waddingham. She responds by saying, “Oh my god. You’d never say that to a man, my friend. Don’t be a dick, otherwise I’ll move off. Don’t say, ‘Show me leg.’ No.” With a wave of her hand and cheers from the crowd, Waddingham walked away from the photographer.

The powerful video has quickly gained attention, amassing 1.6 million views and counting. Many applaud Waddingham for standing up against sexist behavior. One social media user captioned the clip, “This woman is a role model. Always, always call pricks out on their bullshit.”

Waddingham’s response is a reminder of the importance of speaking out against disrespect and inequality. She highlighted the double standard faced by women in the entertainment industry and beyond. It serves as a powerful message to challenge and confront discriminatory behavior.

In January 2024, Waddingham, known for her portrayal of Rebecca Welton in the popular TV series ‘Ted Lasso’, revealed her love for her character’s wardrobe. She humorously referred to taking items from set as “lovingly rehoming” rather than stealing. Waddingham even took home an army man prop given to her character by Jason Sudeikis’ Ted Lasso.

It is inspiring to see celebrities like Hannah Waddingham using their platform to address important issues and set an example for others. Her response to the photographer is a reminder that everyone deserves respect, regardless of their gender.
