Hannah Waddingham’s response to a photographer asking her to ‘show some leg’ had everyone applauding
As if you needed another reason to love Hannah Waddingham – spoiler alert: you don’t – along comes this, a moment ahead of the Olivier theatre awards which had the entire internet cheering.
Waddingham was the presenter at the ceremony on Sunday night in London, and was posing for pictures when one of the photographers – and we we think we heard this right – asked her to ‘show some leg’ (or something very like that).
And the actress, singer and TV presenter’s response deserved a standing ovation all of its own.
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

“My Dad taught me to call out misogyny from a young age. I think it’s important that when you see someone behaving badly, you call them out and batter them over the head with it.“ – Hannah Waddingham https://t.co/b9LeJTEyCy

THIS. This is why I adore and admire her so far beyond her talent and her looks. She is FIERCE and will always call men out on their shit. She wasn’t scared at all. She’s not just standing up for herself here, but for all of us. ✊ https://t.co/EyNhrJ2VLs
