Inside Jason Sudeikis' Relationship With Hannah Waddingham Off-Screen

One of the most enjoyable aspects of "Ted Lasso" is the dynamic between Jason Sudeikis and Hannah Waddingham. Sudeikis plays Coach Ted, who manages AFC Richmond, a Premier League soccer team owned by Waddingham's character, Rebecca Welton (via IMDb). Though Rebecca's motives are questionable at first, the friendship that develops between her and Ted throughout the show is a joy to witness. 

The sentiment becomes even sweeter when Waddingham and Sudeikis discuss how close they are off-screen as well. The two interviewed each other for The Hollywood Reporter, and the conversation that ensued gave fans a glimpse into their camaraderie. 

When Waddingham won the Outstanding Supporting Actress award at the 2021 Emmys, she tearfully thanked Sudeikis and said (via YouTube), "Jason, you changed my life with this," before adding, "I'm so privileged to work with you!" This was one of the most public displays of affection the pair engaged in, but Sudeikis and Waddingham have been close since they began filming the first season of "Ted Lasso."

Speaking with People in 2021, Waddingham said: "Imagine playing Rebecca, where I'm meant to be this stoic ice queen. Imagine doing scenes when Jason has got the cheeky little pixie going on in his eyes."

It seems like the pair know how to have fun on set, and we can picture them having their own Biscuits with the Boss moments before they film their scenes.
