No. 9 Teen Idol: Daniel Radcliffe spreads his wings
Actor Daniel Radcliffe plays Harry Potter and will star in Equus on Broadway

SHOCK! Daniel Radcliffe: I can't tie my shoelaces

Harry Potter star has medical condition dyspraxia

Monday, 18 August 2008

Daniel Radcliffe says he needs help putting on his shoes.

The Harry Potter star suffers from dyspraxia, which affects coordination.

And he admits tasks like using a pen and tying shoelaces can be a problem.

‘I sometimes think: “Why, oh why, has Velcro not taken off?”’ he says.

But Daniel, 19, isn’t letting the neurological condition interfere with his life.

‘Dan is now a multi-millionaire from his acting and he’s not even out of his teens yet,’ a pal tells the Daily Star.

‘He finds the condition more funny than anything else.

'He jokes that he can now afford to hire someone to tie his shoelaces for him.’

Meanwhile, tabloids claim the reason The Half-Blood Prince is being delayed is because Dan is appearing naked in Broadway play Equus.

Warner Bros
studio bosses are said to fear the saucy show could taint his clean-cut image so have pushed it back to July 2009.
