Daniel "Harry Potter" Radcliffe cured of being a spazz by videogames

daniel_radcliffe.jpgIn an interview with The Daily Beast, Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe alludes to the therapeutic power of videogaming.

You suffer from dysplaxia--which is a kind of physical dyslexia. Rote physicality is difficult for you to comprehend. How has that affected you as an actor?

I have a very mild form of it. I've gotten it mostly under control now. I played a lot of videogames as a kid which really helped it. It basically surfaces as bad coordination.

I'm going to file this under "Videogames Are Actually Good For You", along with the stuff about how Tetris cures PTSD and Pole Position (or is it Outrun?) makes better surgeons.

(By the way, if you're at work, I don't recommend doing a Google image search for "Daniel Radcliffe".)
