Emily Blunt felt like there was an "imposter" living inside her when she had a stutter.
The Young Victoria star had a speech impediment when and she felt like there was an "imposter" living inside her.
"It was awful, absolutely awful," she said. "You feel like there's an imposter living inside of you who is misrepresenting who you really are. You don't want to be accepted for being that person but at the same time you do, and you don't want someone to finish your sentences, yet you breathe a sigh of relief when someone does."
"It's very common for stutterers to not be able to say their own name, and when someone asks who's calling, I'll be like 'F**k!' "
The actress - who won a Golden Globe award for her role in Gideon's Daughter - revealed despite achieving critical acclaim, there are still other female actresses she looks up to and admires.
"Cate Blanchett is wonderful," Emily said. "Rachel Weisz is delicious. And Meryl Streep, of course. She's such a free spirit, so intuitive, she's got balls, and she manages to maintain a mystique and a wonderful sense of humor.
"She's someone who I admire not only for what she can do – that's a given – but for who she is."by FW Editor |
