I\u2019m about to go away to do press for the next season of Ted [Lasso], and the mummy guilt descends. But I have to try and combat it.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\nHannah admitted that is the main reason she has not done any stage work recently, saying: \u201cI don\u2019t think my daughter is ready. <\/p>\n<p>                      \t\t\t<!-- Dailymotion player (contact: Kutay.vardar@dailymotion.com) --><\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cI need to find the time to be able to go, \u2018I\u2019m taking this coat off for now and I\u2019m putting my [stage] coat back on.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nHannah does her best to show her daughter she is thinking of her, even when she is working, famously carrying a cardboard clutch made by Kitty on the red carpet at the Screen Actors Guild awards, in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe said: \u201cI picked it up and went, \u2018It\u2019s actually got more space in it than a normal, designer, ridiculous handbag, so I\u2019m going to take it up the red carpet.\u2019 I did it on purpose, to show her that she\u2019s never far away from me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nHannah brought her daughter with her to Prague for five months and enrolled her in an international school when she filmed her latest project, Ride or Die, with Octavia Spencer. <\/p>\n<p>\nSpeaking about her character in the project, she said: \u201cShe\u2019s an assassin of some 30 years. I did 75 \u2013 80 per cent of my own stunts. But, it was partly not a good idea, because I did mangle myself senseless.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cIt\u2019s about calling each other out, holding each other up, and showing that women in their 50s can be all things, when they decide to chop and change.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nAnd, Hannah firmly believes that women can do anything at any age, citing her own success coming later in life.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe said: \u201cI\u2019ve talked about it to a couple of people, who\u2019ve had that thing of the \u2018overnight success\u2019 later in their careers. There are a few of us who have been right in the belly of things, working in places that are not as la-di-da as you would have in TV. An overnight success after 25 years is delicious. And I\u2019m fine with it, because I\u2019m very at peace with who I am. I\u2019m more than happy to share that I\u2019m 51 and proud of it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/hannah-waddingham-suffers-mummy-guilt-1447698.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>18 July 2026 Hannah Waddingham suffers from \u201cmum guilt\u201d.
