There’s a list of positive Dyslexic traits as long as my arm; bigger picture thinking, creativity, great verbal communication…the list goes on. It also turns out some of us are pretty smoking hot! Here’s our top 10 of the hottest Dyslexic blokes around.
Number 8: Guy Ritchie
Occupation: Director Guy Ritchie is known for his directorial skills, and his gritty style is well known. He has done films such as Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Snatch, and the newest Sherlock Holmes films, with Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law. Guy Ritchie has become one of Hollywood’s most well known British directors, and is currently in talks with Warner Bros about shooting a new film based on the legend of King Arthur.
Number 7: Keanu Reeves
Occupation: Actor/Director Famously known for his role in The Matrix series, Keanu Reeves makes it on our list. Recently he’s worked on films such as 47 Ronin, Man of Tai Chi and The Day The Earth Stood Still. Keanu has been known for his charitable work, giving $80 million of his earnings ($114 million), from The Matrix trilogy, to its special effects and make-up staff, claiming his earnings could last him more than a few centuries. He has also set up a cancer charity, without attaching his name to it.
Number 6: Tom Cruise
Occupation: Actor/Producer We all know about Tom Cruise, come on, who hasn’t watched Mission Impossible (the series)? Known for his controversy with Scientology, Tom has been in the tabloids more times that we can count, not only for his success but also for his scandals, such as his recent divorce from Katie Holmes. In terms of his career, he is known for doing his own stunts, some that almost cost his life. One example of this, in the new Mission Impossible film, Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol, Tom is seen scaling the Burg Khalifa (Yes, he actually climbed the Burg Khalifa. If you don’t believe me, just type it into Google!).
Number 5: Patrick Dempsey
Occupation: Actor We all know Patrick Dempsey as the leading neurosurgeon Dr. Derek Shepherd, in the hit TV drama Grey’s Anatomy. Patrick has also built a career in the film business, appearing in films such as Enchanted, Made of Honour, Valentine’s Day and Transformers: The Dark of the Moon. Not only does he have a career in film and television, but Patrick is a well known race car driver, taking part in many sporting events, and gaining 2nd place in the Toyota Pro/Celebrity Race, in 2006.
Number 4: Prince Harry (of Wales)
Occupation: Staff Officer for the Regiment Army Air Corp/Prince Another most easily recognisable figure, Prince Harry (or Prince Henry of Wales) is actually dyslexic, who knew? With his older brother’s new son, Harry is now 4th in line for the throne, and doesn’t seem to mind one bit. Harry has shown his love for his country fighting alongside the British Military in Afghanistan. Currently, Harry is patron for many sporting organisations, including the Invictus Games, Rugby Football Club and London Marathon Charitable Trust.
Number 3: Iwan Rheon
Occupation: Actor/Songwriter Iwan Rheon is a leading actor in the Television industry, playing roles such as Ramsey Snow/Bolton in the fantasy series Game of Thrones. He has also appeared in other TV shows such as Misfits, Secret Diary of a Call Girl, and Vicious. In terms of his musical career, he released an EP called Changing Times back in 2011, and recently he has released his third EP, called Bang!Bang! in 2013.
Number 2: Will Smith
Occupation: Actor/Rapper/Producer Famously known for his role in the hit TV series The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air, Will Smith has become an icon for many, marrying one of his former co-stars, Jada Pinkett, and has two children, Jaden and Willow. He is also known to be very charitable, opening two private elementary schools in California, and donating $1.2 million in 2010. Will has also had a hand in the movie business, staring in films such as, Independence Day, Men In Black, The Pursuit of Happyness and After Earth, with his son Jaden.
Number 1: Orlando Bloom
Occupation: Actor Who in the world doesn’t know Orlando Bloom? Like Keira Knightley (who placed second in our last Top Ten post), this heart-throb has starred in Disney’s world famous franchise The Pirates of the Caribbean, as the blacksmith turned pirate, William Turner. Not only is he known for his unhygienic piracy, he is also known as the fair haired elven archer, Legolas in another most famous franchise, The Lord of the Rings, and is currently working on The Hobbit Trilogy. Recently he’s been in the tabloids, due to a scandal that took place in Spain last summer, a row involving Justin Beiber and Miranda Kerr, as well as other stars that stood by watching. However, despite that small stain in his profile, it’s clear that, to many, Orlando can do no wrong.
