Hannah Waddingham Practices Her Evil Laugh in Rakuten's First Super Bowl Teaser

The Ted Lasso star is the headliner in the online retailer’s spot

Hannah Waddingham commands attention on the small screen as Ted Lasso’s boss Rebecca Welton. Her timing and presence earned the British actress a well-deserved Emmy Award. Now Waddingham is stepping up to an even bigger screen as the star of Rakuten’s first Super Bowl spot.

Waddingham will play the protagonist, or perhaps the villain, of the online retail platform’s Super Bowl spot. A teaser spot just released by the brand shows Waddingham adorned in a stunning black dress and extravagant diamond necklace in front of a mirror, practicing her evil, maniacal laugh—though we’re not quite sure why.
