I too think they still stutter, they just know how to hide it well. Cus you get very good at it if you’re ashamed of it. When I tell people that I stutter, they usually don’t believe me or tell me that everybody can stutter sometimes. I just have gotten so good at hiding it, switching out every word, holding my chin, breathing words etc. But I agree that there should be more openness around it and some famous people who actually didn’t hide it. I bet kids wouldn’t learn all these techniques if it wasn’t so frowned upon…
