Stars that stuttered

Stuttering is a neurological condition in which a person usually repeats or cannot make a sound. Around 70 million people stutter around the world.

For about 4% of people, stuttering is a childhood condition. But for about 1% of people, this can last a lifetime. Health professionals say stuttering cannot be cured, although it can be treated.

Stuttering can make it difficult to find a job. But it also led to the careers of many actors, because jumping into a different personality often helps people get rid of stuttering.
