British actress Hannah Waddingham checked a rude photographer who asked her to “show some leg”. The incident happened at the 2024 Olivier Awards in London, England on Sunday.
In cell phone video, the photographer is heard asking the grande dame to show a bit of leg through the slit in her gown.
Hannah was taken aback by the offensive request. The “Ted Lasso” actress, 49, paused on the steps before reading him for filth.
“Oh my god. You’d never say that to a man, my friend,” she said.
The “Game of Thrones” star continued, “Don’t be a dick, otherwise I’ll move off. Don’t say, ‘Show me leg.’ No.”
With that, Hannah stormed off, but she wasn’t done. She turned around and read the guy some more as the crowd cheered.
The video was uploaded to X/Twitter and quickly went viral, garnering 2 million views.
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. https://t.co/TUPwdqEYo2 pic.twitter.com/ybhxCo5FJ6
