“I have ADHD and I’m dyslexic, and I find sometimes when someone gives me a blank canvas that it can be slightly intimidating,” Holland confessed. “Sometimes you are met with those challenges when developing a character.”
“I think play really does help,” the Marvel star shared.
“Any way that you can, as a young person or as an adult, interact with something that forces you to be creative and forces you to think outside the box and make changes. I think that the more we do that sort of stuff, the better,” he explained.
