The actress Hannah Waddingham rebuked during the Olivier Awards to a photographer who had asked Waddingham to “show leg.”
According to a video shared by a fan on social media, Waddingham did not hesitate to call out the photographer, pointing out that: “My God, you would never ask that of a man, my friend,” said the presenter. Furthermore, she threatened to leave if they continued with those types of comments, emphasizing: “Don’t say ‘show me leg.’ No”.
The incident took place just before the Olivier Awards ceremony, held last Sunday at the Royal Albert Hall in London. Despite the situation, Waddingham continued discussing the issue with the photographer as he walked towards the event venue. Before walking away from her, the actress reminded the photographer of the importance of having good manners, pointing out and adding: “Have some manners.”
