Hannah Waddingham and the cast of Ted Lasso visit The White House

Game of Thrones had a number of memorable characters, and some of them, though appeared for a short time on-screen, left an everlasting impression on the audience’s mind. The Emmy-winning actress Hannah Waddingham played the famous ‘Shame’ nun in Cersei’s walk of atonement on the show, and she loved every second of it. She recently paid a visit to The White House along with the cast of the hit series Ted Lasso.

Why was the cast of Ted Lasso invited to The White House?

The cast members of the hit Apple TV+ show, which included Brett Goldstein, Toheeb Jimoh, Hannah Waddingham, Jason Sudeikis and Brendan Hun paid a visit to The White House to meet The President and The First Lady to discuss issues about mental health. Actor and comedian Jason Sudeikis, who portrays the title character, gave a speech on why focusing on mental health should be one of our primary concerns.

U.S. President Joe Biden’s bid to spread mental health awareness

President Biden has invested hundreds of millions of dollars in federal, state, and local efforts to tackle mental health issues in the U.S. Following the coronavirus pandemic that saw a major dip in the nation’s mental health, Biden last year argued for a major taxpayer investment in solutions.

The White House administration has put federal money behind expanding school-based mental health treatment and training first responders in how to respond to people in mental health emergencies.
