Lisp


I really like him don't get me wrong.. But his apparent lisp was really irritating in Kingsman. As a nurse I can tell it's ill fitting dentures. He's lost a lot of weight, but still maintains the same teeth set. I know it's silly, but I can't help but notice lol

Also forgot say before anyone says they are his real teeth.. He's always had pretty unique teeth, so it wouldn't surprise me if these are custom made dentures. Yes they make dentures with added colour, stains and even chips and gaps :-)

You are..... I don't know what, it's not ill fitting dentures! It's plain old annoying and lazy acting. He is awful. I cringe when I realize he is in a movie I want to see.

fyi, he had stuttering problem as a kid, stopped speaking for a year because he was laughed at and bullied.

In the movie, Sam did the lisp purposely.
Vaughn explained:
"Sam explained to me that when he was younger, he had a lisp and a stutter, and it really drove him on to want to be famous, to succeed. He said, ‘Look, trust me, if you were a guy, if you’re Steve Jobs and you’ve got everything -- you’ve got money, you’ve got power, you’ve got everything you want -- but you’ve still got this God damn stutter and lisp, and people aren’t 100% taking you seriously, it can take you to that next level of going mad. And I thought that was great, because … he played this character as someone who had slowly lost the line between, you know, what should happen and shouldn’t happen, which I thought was a great way of doing it."
