The David Leitch movie premiered at SXSW recently, and the reviews have been pretty good so far.

Hannah Waddingham Was “Spoilt” In The Fall Guy
Directed by David Leitch, the movie is being called a love letter to the stunt community. Hannah Waddingham recently spoke to ExtraTV about her upcoming release and revealed how it was having to work with actors like Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt. When asked about Gosling in The Fall Guy, Waddingham said:
“He’s so yummy as a person as well, though. He and I were like two 12 year olds on set. I don’t know what it is, we just have the naughty thing.”
Further adding, she said:
“We met and went, ‘Oh, I know you.’ It’s so lovely to have such a shorthand with them immediately… I’ve been so spoilt to go from Ted to go into Fall Guys. I feel like a spoilt brat.”
Hannah Waddingham is absolutely thrilled with how things went down with the cast and crew.
Hannah Waddingham Is “Hopeful” For More Ted Lasso
At the 2024 GLAAD Awards red carpet, Hannah Waddingham was found reminiscing about her Ted Lasso days. The actress said she was feeling nostalgic and missing her other cast members.
“I find it weird, actually being in L.A. and not being with them, you know? So, last night Juno [Temple] and I were messaging at, like, one o’clock in the morning. I was like, ‘I’m here,’ she was like, ‘You’re here?’”
And talking about the show itself, she said she is “hopeful” about it, teasing fans. She further added: “It ain’t over till it’s over.” But for now, things are still unclear, and we can only guess that there is more to come.
The Fall Guys will be released in the US on May 3, 2024.
