Max Irons Learns Full Scripts To Combat Dyslexia

Dyslexic actor _Max _Irons memorises entire scripts before auditioning for film roles in a bid to avoid embarrassment if he's asked to read for another part.

The Host star, son of veteran British actor Jeremy _I_rons, decided early on that learning lines for multiple characters at a time would be the best way to tackle his learning disability - and it hasn't failed him yet.

He tells New York Post columnist Cindy Adams, "I've wanted to be an actor since I'm (sic) 16. At school in London, I did Neil LaBute's play by learning everybody's lines. I had to. I have dyslexia.

"I handle it because I learn everything beforehand. _I_f evaluating me, (casting bosses) ask, 'Can you read the scene?' I say, 'Absolutely,' and that's because I've learned each person's line ahead of time."
