Why Is Daniel Radcliffe Playing A Disabled Character?
June 20, 2013
This piece in the Guardian asks why ‘able-bodied’ Daniel Radcliffe is playing a disabled character in the West End. I got all excited when I read it and wanted to write a post about how much I agree with the journalist about disabled characters needing to be in disabled roles. Because readers, I really do feel strongly about that.
But then, readers, I remembered something that I learnt, to great surprise at the time, in 2008. Readers, Daniel Radcliffe does have a disability, and a physical one too. He has dyspraxia.
So readers, that’s why he’s playing The Cripple Of Irishmaan. And that’s why I’m happy that he is playing the role.
