Helena Bonham Carter: 'I suffer from stage fright'


Helena Bonham Carter this week revealed that she suffers from stage fright.

The actress was appearing at the London Film Festival on October 21 to promote her new movie 'The King's Speech'.

Speaking at a press conference, she told reporters, "I suffer from stage fright right now. I don't like making speeches. This is not my idea of complete joy, sitting up here, much as you're all lovely.

"I'm the kind of introvert, mad actor who likes putting on other people's clothes and pretending to be somebody else. It's a completely crazy choice of profession given that I think I'm fairly introverted.

"At times I have spasms of extroversion but... I'm not very good at public speaking and I have every sympathy and empathy for anyone who does have to do it and who doesn't enjoy it."
