Hannah Waddingham reveals "Hollywood S**t List" of casting directors who shunned her

Actress Hannah Waddingham recently revealed on "Sunday Sitdown with Willie Geist" that she maintains a mental list of casting directors who underestimated her talent and appearance earlier in her career. The Emmy-winning star of "Ted Lasso" admitted that she now enjoys turning down work from these individuals, who once wouldn't give her the time of day.

Waddingham emphasised that she has a long memory and holds onto not only professional slights but also remembers bullies from her youth and past relationships that ended badly. The actress, known for her outspoken nature, is not afraid to stand up for herself, as seen in her recent confrontation with a photographer who made inappropriate comments.

Despite past challenges, Waddingham's career is thriving, with recent roles in Ryan Gosling's "The Fall Guy" and the upcoming "Mission Impossible" film. This success allows her to prioritize her own values and choose projects that align with her experiences.

Waddingham's story serves as an inspiration for anyone who has faced rejection or disrespect in their career, highlighting the importance of self-respect and perseverance.
