Daniel Radcliffe, 30, famed for being Harry Potter, revealed in 2008 he had a mild form of
dyspraxia - also known as developmental coordination disorder.
The condition affects physical co-ordination, preventing simple activities such as wiring or tying shoelaces, and makes a person appear clumsy. But the star hasn’t let dyspraxia get to him.
As well as becoming a hero to people of all ages who are fans of his books, the actor has also supported others with the condition. Daniel’s early school years proved very difficult, the star revealing he was awful at “everything with no discernible talent”.
