Ive been saying this for a long time. Do you (you in a general sense) know how shitty it is as a child to see these stuttering celebrities "grow out of it" and you feel like a failure because you can't grow out of it. Now thats not all celebrities because some do openly stutter, like Ron Harper and George Springer. Springer by the way does great work with kids. Emily Blunt did an interview with Howard Stern, she basically said she doesnt stutter anymore and then shortly after said (paraphrasing here) oh well I try not to talk to on the phone because I'll stutter. HELLO!!??? YOU STILL STUTTER! You can just hide it very well. With that being said, she does good work for the community and I dont want to take that away from her.
