Ted Lasso star Hannah Waddingham suffers from 'impostor syndrome' despite global success
Hannah Waddingham suffers from "impostor syndrome" constantly. The 50-year-old actress was an established name in theatre for decades before she shot to fame through her role in the Apple+ series Ted Lasso, but admitted that she is "absolutely not" a confident person at certain red carpet events. She told The Sunday Times: "Cannes is a completely different beast. "Walking up plenty of stairs in the gown is a bit like, 'Don't be the w***** who falls!' That's a lot of pink taffeta up in the I'm saying is, people shouldn't think that I'm endlessly confident because I'm absolutely not. I'm just good at styling it out. "I have massive impostor syndrome all the time." The Mission: Impossible star - who appeared in West End productions of musicals such as The Wizard of Oz and Into The Woods before she found success on screen - has an 10-year-old daughter from relationship that was the result of a natural conception after initially being told she wasn't able to have children, and insisted that the little one is the "utter joy" in her life these days. She said: "I was told I couldn't have children and then I went down the eastern medicine route, had my body balanced out. "Thank God she is the utter joy of my life because it is unyielding responsibility. I feel like more people should talk about how exhausting it is,' she says, chuckling. 'Not only physically showing up for them but being the best version of yourself, because they respond to actions far more than words." But Hannah is currently single, and admitted that she is actually "quite picky" when it comes to choosing a partner because she just cannot bear to have someone pessimistic in her life. She said: "I'm quite picky unless someone is sensational. "I can't have people in my life whose default setting is glass half empty. I just find it exhausting because I am absolutely the opposite."

Filled with nostalgia and great music, this Gen X romantic drama hits the right notes
Mix Tape ★★★ Mix Tape is all about the wonder. First love, favourite songs and inescapable heartbreak are the building blocks of this Irish-Australian romantic drama. Ricocheting between past and present, the teenage protagonists and their middle-aged successors, these four hour-long episodes have an inexorable momentum. It's not subtle, but it's effective. Yes, the plot forcefully pushes these characters into bitter circumstances, but there's also a deeper recognition that sometimes a gesture, or an unspoken decision, or a great song, can add more than carefully crafted detail. Sheffield, England, 1989: lanky teen Dan O'Toole (Rory Walton-Smith) sights high school classmate Alison Connor (Florence Hunt) across the room at a house party. New Order's Bizarre Love Triangle is playing: 'I feel shot right through with a bolt of blue.' Cut to the present day and Dan (Jim Sturgess) is a music journalist, still based in Sheffield and married with a son to Katja (Sara Soulie), while Alison (Teresa Palmer) is getting far more sunshine in Sydney, mother of two daughters and married to surgeon Michael (Ben Lawson). Why aren't they together? When will they get back together? Joy Division's Love Will Tear Us Apart is obviously cued up, but this adaptation of Jane Sanderson's 2020 novel knows, as does the viewer, that Dan and Alison are meant to be together, both as a means of healing and a wellspring of happiness. Their children are mostly leaving home and their partners are slightly off – the emphasis Michael puts on the 'my' in 'you're my wife' lingers uneasily. Loading 'You never forget the boy who makes you your first mix-tape,' Alison tells her daughter, Stella (Julia Savage), which means more once Alison explains to her Spotify-era child what a mix-tape is. Irish writer Jo Spain (Harry Wild) and Australian director Lucy Gaffy (Irreverent) treat love and longing as a magnetic force. It draws the teenagers together, with montages and shared reveries that come with an impeccable soundtrack – Psychedelic Furs, The Church, The Cure – and immaculate production design for the adolescent bedrooms.
