Spilling the tea! Ted Lasso’s Keeley Jones and Rebecca Watson aren’t the only ones who like to have a little “goss” session. Juno Temple and Hannah Waddingham, who play the leading ladies on the Apple TV+ series, can often be found bonding in the hair and makeup trailer on set — alongside beauty stylist Nicky Austin.
‘Ted Lasso’ Cast’s Dating Histories
“They’re so passionate. Both of them. … It’s a massive collaboration,” Austin exclusively tells Us Weekly. “I’m constantly talking to them about what should we not do for this episode, but for this scene. Like, would Rebecca have got out of bed and put her hair up for that day? Or would she just fall out of bed and just look natural? Has she got her war paint on today? Has she got her businesswoman face on today? We do talk about all that.”
For Temple, 32, and Waddingham, 47, making sure that their looks are relatable to women viewers is crucial. “Hannah’s spoken openly about how much she cares about Rebecca as a character and as a symbol to other women and middle-aged women. Juno as well,” Austin adds. “It’s so important to her that we put a lot into the look. A lot of it isn’t really her. And it’s really important to her that young girls know that. That she wears her extensions, she wears false lashes, that she has false nails, that she doesn’t wake up in the morning looking like Keeley Jones. That’s really important to her, which is why she likes the whole behind the scenes stuff. She likes us to show people what we do.”
Temple’s Keeley has perhaps the most eccentric style on the show. Bold eyeshadow colors, eye-catching hair accessories and statement jewelry pieces are just some of the ways the actress transforms into her spunky and driven character.

Jennifer Maas TV Business WriterPlenty of newbies will be breaking into the comedy category this Emmys season, but two leading rivals for the title will be actual competitors for the first time: “Atlanta” and “Ted Lasso.”As wildly different series that fall into the same genre in the awards competition, their performances in this race will likely lead to a discussion about the industry’s relationship with feel-good TV.“Those shows are going to have interesting moments, both with Donald Glover having been out of the spotlight for a minute, intentionally, taking a detour with a music career that was more successful than I think a lot of people expected,” a Hollywood industry insider told Variety, “while there’s been probably more publicity than I think Apple would like on the fact that the upcoming third season is likely the last season of ‘Ted Lasso.’” The Jason Sudeikis-led Apple TV+ comedy is the reigning champ and has never aired in an “Atlanta”-less world, while Donald Glover’s show is a twice-nominated FX series that has lost twice, first to HBO’s “Veep” in Season 1 and then to Prime Video’s “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” in Season 2.And just as “Ted Lasso” has been a topic of joyful conversation continuously for almost two years, the very idea of when “Atlanta’s” Europe-set Season 3 would finally premiere — following a four-year wait since Season 2 — has also been a much-discussed event.“I’d anticipate that if ‘Atlanta’ was gone for so long and came back as the exact same thing, it probably would have less of a chance,” another industry insider says.
