Summary
- Actress Hannah Waddingham admits to ongoing "mom guilt."
- She brought her infant daughter to the Game of Thrones set.
- Waddingham uses daughter's art to show her importance.
Hannah Waddingham has openly shared her struggles with "mom guilt." The actress revealed that this feeling frequently surfaces, particularly when she has to be away from her daughter.
During the filming of a memorable "Shame!" scene for HBO's Game of Thrones, Waddingham brought her daughter, who was only nine weeks old at the time, to the set. The experience was deeply unsettling, causing her to question her choices and struggle with separation anxiety.
Even now, as her daughter is 12 years old, Waddingham continues to experience "mom guilt." She is preparing for press for the upcoming season of Ted Lasso, which triggers these feelings. To counteract this, she makes conscious efforts to demonstrate her daughter's significance in her life.
A notable instance of this was at the 2024 Screen Actors Guild Awards, where Waddingham chose to wear a unique handbag created by her daughter. This deliberate act aimed to visually communicate to her daughter that she remains a constant presence in her life, even when physically apart.
