London
(ANI):
Dustin
Hoffman"s
stage
fright
caught
him
in
a
tight
spot
once
again
–
the
actor
forgot
his
speech
as
he
was
handing
out
a
trophy
at
the
recent
BAFTA
Awards
in
London.
The
72-year-old
star,
who
has
always
been
afraid
of
speaking
in
public,
was
completely
wrecked
with
fear
when
he
presented
Kathryn
Bigelow
with
her
award
for
The
Hurt
Locker.
This
was
when
BAFTA
came
to
his
rescue
and
gave
him
a
speech
to
read.
"I
still
get
terrible
stage
fright.
I
think
it's
an
adrenaline
thing
but
I
get
so
scared
and
(Sunday
night)
was
really
bad.
I
do
usually
try
to
prepare
a
speech
for
things
like
this,
but
I
have
to
admit
that
the
last
four
lines
of
my
speech
were
written
by
BAFTA
and
I
had
to
ad-lib
the
rest.
I
got
nervous,
see," the
Daily
Express
quoted
Hoffman,
as
saying.
