The King’s Speech Stars Talk Stammers and More

Recently I was lucky enough to go along to a charity premiere screening of The King’s Speech. Director Tom Hooper, actor Colin Firth (who’s still got it at 50, seriously I nearly melted into the floor like Alex Mac, remember Alex Mac? That was awesome… urm… where was I… oh yeah), and comedic veteran Michael Palin who’s charity The Michael Palin Centre for Stammering Children, were there to speak to us press types about the film and stammers. Check out what Hooper said about staying away from the traditional period drama (aka the usually boring kind), how Colin Firth’s speech patterns were disturbed, and why Michael Palin thinks films that show stammering are a good thing by clicking here.
