Mistress of ceremonies at the Laurence Olivier Awards, which rewards British theater actors each year, Hannah Waddingham beamed on the photocall of the event...at least until these few words spoken by a man pointing his camera at her.

Don’t be such an idiot, otherwise I’ll leave,” she immediately retorted. And continuing, pointing at him: “Don’t say that ‘show your legs’, no! Where have your good manners gone?”

Under the video, broadcast on X, the admiring comments quickly filed by. “I can’t love him more than that,” one wrote. And others added: “But what a queen!” ; “I love so much that she doesn’t let people treat her like shit.” Enough to set an example.
