Better get practicing that mumble.
Researchers in California have carried out a study on men's and women's speaking habits.
According to the research, women find men who mumble more attractive.
Mumbling like Tom Hardy or Marlon Brando is being likened to macho-ness.
The likes of Jeff Bridges and the late Heath Ledger are also cited as mumblers.
Research out today says women are attracted to men who mumble. I’ve never heard anything so rimsnkem mfffdwsndobdkk in snmkkdn awyuj.

The study says Elizabeth Hurley is an example of someone with refined tones.
Being attracted to speech is what is known as 'sexual dimorphism'.
