A video went viral during British actress Hannah Waddingham's attendance at the 2024 Laurence Olivier Awards. She was seen in front of the venue taking photos when she suddenly became agitated and reprimanded one of the photographers. Although the exact words from the photographer were not audible in the video, Western media has confirmed that he requested her to show her leg for a photo.
The scene displayed an unexpected outburst from the British star, as she said: "Oh my God, you would never say that to a man, my friend." She then warned him emphatically: "Don't be an idiot, or I'll leave. Don't say 'show your leg a little,' no." She then walked down the stairs, continuing to discuss the issue with the photographer while walking down the red carpet towards the Royal Albert Hall.
