Well i have a theory which I think is pretty accurate. I have seen guys like Bruce Willis and Rowan Atkinson do some interviews and being a stutter you can see when they are about to stutter or were a...

Totally agree. My husband and son both stutter and find this talking point annoying. All these famous people who ā€œstutterā€ but don’t actually have a stutter. Like cool, you obviously overcame your stu...

These people may stutter sometimes, but I understand where OP is coming from. For the majority of famous ā€œstutterersā€ you would basically never know they have a stutter or used to stutter unless you s...

I get really frustrated by this too. I feel like most of them must have had mild stutters, or the sort of childhood stutter that people tend to grow out of. This is why King George VI is one of my rol...

Biden stutters often, I have a keen ear for catching stutterers, but yeah I agree their stutters aren’t moderate or severe. I knew a guy in college, absolutely hell of a guy, with a pretty noticeable ...

I’ve questioned this my whole life too. I believe far fewer struggle than what most of them put out. I stutter but I don’t struggle with it as much as I did when I was a child. After therapy and worki...

I had no idea! even if it is mild, that's definitely notable and it also makes more sense that a person that's a voice actor is "able" to stutter more than someone that acts live...

i think they do still stutter, you just don't see it because you only see them talk in interviews where they've rehearsed the questions before the show or movies where they've done multiple takes. I'm...

Joe Biden clearly stutters and it is easy (for me) to see him using avoidance techniques for certain words when speaking. I’ve seen Bruce Willis use some avoidance techniques, but much less than Biden...
