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."
