Hannah Waddingham made headlines at the 2024 Olivier Awards held at the Royal Albert Hall in London when she stood up to a photographer who made a sexist request during a red carpet photo op. The actress, known for her roles in ‘Game of Thrones’ and ‘Ted Lasso,’ was wearing a stunning floor-length lilac Marchesa dress when the photographer asked her to “show her leg” for the photo. Waddingham immediately called him out, stating that such a request would never be made to a man and refusing to comply with the inappropriate demand.

The incident was captured on camera, highlighting Waddingham’s assertive response to the photographer’s comment. The video of the encounter quickly went viral on social media, with many applauding the actress for her stance against sexism.

This is not the first time Waddingham has spoken out against such behavior. In a previous interview, she revealed that she has always been vocal about misogyny, even during her modeling days when such behavior was not always challenged. Waddingham’s refusal to tolerate sexism has earned her respect and admiration from fans and colleagues alike.

Known for her charisma and charm, Waddingham hosted the Olivier Awards for the second consecutive year, opening the ceremony with a performance that received a rousing reception from the audience. Her courage in standing up to sexist attitudes both on and off the red carpet has solidified her reputation as a role model for women in the entertainment industry.

In addition to her professional achievements, Waddingham’s personal life also captures attention. At the SAG Awards, she proudly sported a cardboard bag made by her 9-year-old daughter Kitty, showcasing the bond between mother and daughter that inspires her strength.
