Daniel Radcliffe Suffers From Dyspraxia
Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe has revealed he lives with a brain disorder called dyspraxia, a neurological disorder that often impairs coordination.
"Yes, Dan Radcliffe does have dyspraxia," his rep told Britain's Daily Mail. "This is something he has never hidden. Thankfully his condition is very mild and at worst manifests itself in an inability to tie his shoelaces and bad handwriting."
Radcliffe revealed he became an actor partly because his dyspraxia meant he was not successful at school.
"I was having a hard time at school in terms of being crap at everything, with no discernible talent," he said.
He also revealed how his mother had not been too keen on him becoming a Thespian, but eventually allowed him to audition for the role of young David Copperfield in a BBC special, in order to boost his confidence.
Radcliffe has starred as the teen wizard in five movies in the franchise based on the books by JK Rowling. The sixth Harry Potter movie, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince will be released in July 2009 ..
