Hannah Waddingham Considers Trading Golden Globes For Extra Bedtime Story Credits

The West End legend fears her daughter might replace her with a particularly charismatic nanny or a very tall floor lamp.

National treasure Hannah Waddingham has confessed to a chronic case of 'mom guilt,' which is weird because if my mom was a six-foot-tall glazon who could belt high Cs and intimidate dragons, I’d probably let her miss a few soccer games. Apparently, the multi-talented goddess felt bad about snatching a Game of Thrones role right after giving birth. Most of us just feel guilty about not folding the laundry, but Hannah goes big or goes home. Word on the street is that Kitty, her daughter, is a tough critic. While the rest of the world sees an Emmy winner, Hannah is basically just the lady who isn't currently handing over the Goldfish crackers. She’s worried that being away for work makes her a villain, but let’s be real—after playing Septa Unella, she literally has a professional license to ring a bell and yell 'Shame!' at herself whenever she misses a school play. Friends say she’s trying to balance it all, but it’s hard to be a relatable parent when you look like you were sculpted out of marble and pure charisma. Stay strong, Hannah. Just tell the kid that every time you leave for a red carpet, you’re actually out hunting for more glitter to bring back to the nest. It works for the rest of us, and we don't even have the designer gowns to prove it.
