Speaking at the Child Mind Institute, he said: "I have more trouble studying scripts and memorizing lines that most [other actors]."


Bloom revealed how his mother helped him confront his dyslexia.

He said: "My mum used to tell me: 'If you read 50 books, I'll get you a motorbike.' So it inspired me to read a lot and work through [my dyslexia]. But I never quite got to 50. And I never got that motorbike!"
