Daniel Radcliffe reveals that he has dyspraxia.


Daniel Radcliffe, the main actor in the Harry Potter movies, has revealed that he suffers from dyspraxia. This medical condition gives the symptoms of clumsiness. Radcliffe revealed that he has trouble tying his shoe laces.

Radcliffe tried to make light of his condition by saying that he was always hoping that Velco shoes would enjoy a comeback in fashion. Then he would feel comfortable wearing shoes without shoe laces. He said he chose acting as a profession because he was not successful in school. Dyspraxia gave him neurological problems which impaired his movement.

Initially, Radcliffe’s mother was against the idea of him taking up acting but she relented when he turned 9 years old. Radcliffe acted as David Copperfield and has went from strength to strength ever since.
