Eric Roberts

Eric Roberts and his half-sister Julia Roberts both went into the world of acting and they also have something else in common: they both stuttered as children. While America’s sweetheart has gotten over the affliction, her brother had a harder time and withdrew as a child. “I read a lot when I was little because I had the worst stutter in the world,” Roberts said. “The the the wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-water is cold’. And the class cracked up. I suppose it was funny, but it was so painful for me. So I read because it was a solitary thing where I didn’t have to be cracked up at.”
