Colin Firth plays Bertie, future King George VI afflicted with a crippling stammer in The King's Speech. Unable to speak publicly, political consequences mounted while his subjects awaited his reassuring voice in the face of Hitler and Nazi aggression. His stutter was emotionally driven by a repressed childhood and friendless adult life.
The film explores the relationship with his Australian speech therapist.
It was clear to Firth how unappealing royal life can be, "This movie debunks the idea of a privileged upbringing ... I wouldn't change places with that guy no matter how many countries are in my empire."
We love Colin Firth.
