Hannah Waddingham took some souvenirs from the Ted Lasso sets
In January 2024, during an interview, Waddingham revealed that she took some stuff from the sets of the beloved series Ted Lasso, where she plays Rebecca Welton. "I was constantly asking — first of all, I don't think of it as stealing. I think it's lovingly rehoming…" she said.
"Actually, my things were not material things. I can't tell you how many times I asked about clothes and shoes and hats and coats, seeing as I chose them anyways," she revealed to People's reporter at the PEOPLE X IHG event.
The actress who famously played Septa Unella on Game of Thrones revealed that she took the army man given to her character by the protagonist Ted Lasso.
"When you give me the army man, I kept him zipped in my hero bag, my gray Dolce [& Gabbana] bag, which someone threw across the set one day, and I was like, what are you doing?" she said. Waddingham also took her character's first tickets from season three of the show.
