"Brit hunk Orlando Bloom has revealed he&amp;apos;s dyslexic.\r\nSpeaking at the Child Mind Institute in NYC Wednesday, he called it &amp;quot;an ongoing struggle,&amp;quot; according to the New York Daily News.&amp;#xA0;&amp;quot;I have more trouble studying scripts and memorizing lines than most [other actors].&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nGrowing up, Bloom, now 33, said his mother inspired him to confront disorder.\r\n&amp;quot;My mom used to tell me, &amp;apos;If you read 50 books, I&amp;apos;ll get you a motorbike,&amp;apos;&amp;quot; he laughed. &amp;quot;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!&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nDyslexia didn&amp;apos;t alienate him in high school.\r\nShocker: He said he was popular with the ladies.\r\nAsked if having a girlfriend made him less distracted when he was younger, he blushed and laughed before blurting out, &amp;quot;No!&amp;quot;\r\nPHOTOS: Today&amp;apos;s top news stories\r\nHe then glanced at his girlfriend, model Miranda Kerr (who was sitting in the audience), and quickly added, &amp;quot;Now, yes. Definitely yes. Yes!&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
