Hollywood star Tom Holland has revealed that he was diagnosed with dyslexia and ADHD during his childhood discussing how these neurological disorders impact his acting career.
In a recent interview, the 29-year-old candidly shared his experience with dyslexia, which he was diagnosed with at the age of 7, and ADHD (Attention Deficit/ Hyperactive Disorder).
“I have ADHD and I’m dyslexic and I find that sometimes when someone gives me a blank canvas, it can be slightly intimidating”, Holland admitted. He explained that these challenges can arise when developing a character.
Holland emphasised the importance of play in fostering creativity, stating “Anyway that you can, as a young person or as an adult, interact with something that forces you to be creative and think outside the box that makes a difference”.
On the professional front, Holland is busy with major projects, including Christopher Nolan’s upcoming film ‘The Odyssey’ and a new ‘Spider Man’ installment titled ‘Brand New Day’. Additionally, he is rumored to be the front runner for the next James Bond role.
