It depends who you're referring to. I've heard professional footballers (soccer players) stutter in the past as well as different TV personalities. In my humble opinion, I'd be more inspired to hear...

I have a mild stutter than can get very severe in certain situations. I had to take a public speaking class last year because it was a requirement. At first it really sucks, but you just have to push ...

I disagree. I would prefer famous stutterers to stutter openly. The fact that we don't see them stutter reinforces the idea that in order to be successful we must stop stuttering. And it can contribut...

i'm not sure what you're trying to say. They DID stutter like you and me and who cares if they are told what to say or are great thinkers the point is they HAVE overcome stuttering....

I believe it's absolutely possible to "overcome" it to a point where it has a minimal effect on your life. It's never going away completely & will always be something that must be managed, but it ...

It's easier said than done, but I've been blessed with giving 0 fucks about people viewing me in a negative light over things I can't control. I am me. This is how I talk. This is how I look. Whether ...

"The King's Speech" comes to mind. George VI managed to overcome his stutter and guide an entire nation on a time where that guidance was most needed, so why can't you talk to the cute girl at the sto...

Dude, they're used as role models to show you it can be done. You see people like Emily Blunt/Joe Biden (using your examples) that are always in the public eye and I'm pretty certain they've worked ju...

Exactly, everyone is different phases and while in some phases the future and the possibility of overcoming (or reducing) your stutter seems really grim just know that better days are coming and we CA...

You have two options. You can continue bitching about how hard your life is & why it sucks & why you'll never be successful & whatever else you want to throw in there. Being whiny & m...

One that inspires me is a basketball player Michael Kidd-Gilchrist. You can see early interviews with him were he is noticeably very uncomfortable and attempting to hide his stutter, and has improved ...

To answer your question they were either very mild or became very mild now, because people like Samuel L Jackson and Bruce Willis still have a slight stutter, it would be a 1-2, and as in my last post...

"Were" is the keyword. Sure, they have success stories, but they aren't active stutterers; we can't really reflect ourselves on them imo. I do agree with your definition of overcoming it, though. Edi...

It was mostly practicing over and over again with confidence that 'cured' me, yes. Don't give up and lose hope, keep going. The next time you're talking to someone or a group of people and you have to...

They just overcame it lol? Both of them were 5+ on the scale too according to their stories. They just get the attention because they are famous but there are many people who overcame it, in my eyes r...

Do famous 'stutturers' actually matter?

Do famous 'stutturers' actually matter? Inspired by the other post that didn't really have any discussion about this in the comments. I've always wondered how those stutterers who are famous. The ones...

Thats amazing. Putting yourself out there can definitely do wonders. I try to put myself out there as well but not as much as I'd like cause I'm still a bit afraid of being mocked and what not. Was th...

Hmm interesting, i am certain it will never go away for some people since its such a complex problem haha ;p I do however think that the way you deal with a behaviour that potentially has fault depend...

There is a cure, it's called hard work and confidence and it can only be done by you. I've had a terrible stutter for most of my known life, through primary school all the way to high school and coll...

''In fact the best fluency I've achieved has been through practice by myself. I say we ban all of these snake oil salesmen and donate all the money saved into research.'' I am beginning more and more ...
