Emily Blunt had French stutter
Posted on | March 11, 2010 | No Comments
Actress Emily Blunt thought acting had helped her kick her childhood stutter until a recent trip to Paris taught her the affliction returns when she speaks foreign languages. She was convinced she’d beaten the speech impediment for good when a teacher urged her to take up acting.
She explains, “It was a big problem then and I had a teacher who helped me overcome it… who wanted me to be in class plays. (He said), ‘Do you want to try it in a different accent? ‘ He thought there was something freeing in that and there was – by being someone else I overcame it. ”
But at 26, Blunt admits she’s hasn’t quite conquered the disorder – because she still finds herself stuttering when she speaks in other languages. She explains, “I went to Paris in the New Year and discovered I still stutter when I try to speak French, it’s so weird.” (WENN)
