Emily Blunt Recalls 'Never' Being Able to Say Her Own Name Due to Severe Stutter
Marie Claire
for the March cover story, the 36-year-old actress discusses everything from living in Brooklyn, the upcoming premiere of The mother-of-two shared an anecdote on how acting in grade school helped her normalize her stutter and not let it get the best of her or hold her back from new experiences. She tells the publication that when she was 12-years-old, a teacher once encouraged her to act in the school play despite her insecurities about her stutter,"and that was very liberating for me as a kid. Suddenly, I had fluency."
Blunt also spoke about the misconceptions and lack of information surrounding the speech impediment,"Stutters don't feel misunderstood. It's not psychological. It's not that you're nervous, it's not that you're insecure, it's not that you can't read, it's not that you don't know what you want to say. It's neurological, it's genetic, it's biological. It's not your fault.
"I encourage empathy in my kids and embracing differences and not being scared of them, or teasing people for them, you know?" Blunt explained."Making mistakes or feeling like you have something that causes you to make mistakes, is a good thing. It's how you learn and it's how you grow. When you go through something like that, you establish a real sense of kindness. And you've got to be kind to yourself and you're going to be kind to other people.
