Hannah Waddingham Employs Human Shield To Guard Against Fictional Assassin Enemies

Hannah Waddingham, the woman who single-handedly keeps the UK’s supply of sequins and high-octane charisma in business, finally revealed her secret security detail. While attending a screening for her assassin-themed series Ride or Die, she didn't bring a Glock or a bulletproof vest. Instead, she arrived flanked by boyfriend Nick Beresford-Cleary, who has clearly been promoted from 'Partner' to 'Living Human Barricade.' Looking as tall as a skyscraper and twice as shiny, Hannah navigated the crowd with the grace of a woman who knows exactly where the sniper points are located in a movie theater lobby. If you’re playing a professional killer on screen, you can’t just walk around unprotected. You need a man who is prepared to intercept a stray popcorn kernel or an overly enthusiastic autograph seeker with his own chest. Nick played the part of the supportive tactical accessory perfectly, standing exactly three inches to the left of the spotlight so as not to overshadow the main event. It’s hard work being the shield for a national treasure, but someone has to ensure that the only thing hitting Hannah this season is critical acclaim and several more awards she’ll definitely have to build another wing for.
