Daniel Radcliffe Has Trouble Tying His Shoes

Daniel Radcliffe, Harry Potter to you, has revealed that he suffers from a neurological disorder called dyspraxia, according to the Daily News.

Dyspraxia is a life-long condition that can affect a patient's motor skills, and ability to perform during stress. Radcliffe says that he has problems tying his shoes, sometimes.

"I sometimes think, Why, oh why, has Velcro not taken off?" Radcliffe joked.

"I was having a hard time at school in terms of being crap at everything," he said, explaining why his mom allowed him to audition for a BBC production of David Copperfield.

Two years later, he landed the role of boyish wizard Harry Potter

Dyspraxia schmaxia; this hasn't stopped him from becoming one of the most successful young actors of his time. And dyspraxia doesn't keep him from showing off his wand on Broadway!

Quotables /

“Forbes magazine released their list (jesus, how many lists can these people put together) of the highest paid tweens in existence, and Miley Cyrus and Daniel Radcliffe tied for first place.

Cyrus, 15, and Radcliffe, 19 (not exactly a tween, but a major player in the tween market) both brought in $25 million last year.

Miley Cyrus and her lucrative Hannah Montana alter ego cleaned up on everything from DVDs and concert tours to sleeping bags with her face on them. She can pay to have Selena Gomez offed!

Radcliffe is Harry Potter and the Harry Potter films have made around 4.5 BILLION. BILLION. And some of those films are really, really boring, by the way. That one where they kept going back in time? There weren't enough Goobers. I nearly started to try and find someone to have sex with in the theater so I wouldn't fall asleep.

And he must be getting paid for showing off his pin on Broadway.”
