Tom Holland praised for 'powerful' message on dyslexia after turning down SNL role 03.06.2026

BBC

Tom Holland, the actor known for his role as Spider-Man, has received significant praise for openly discussing his struggles with dyslexia. He revealed that he declined opportunities to host Saturday Night Live due to his fear of reading cue cards, as the words often appear to shift for him. This honesty, shared on Amy Poehler's podcast, has been lauded by dyslexia advocates like Kay Carter and James Taylor for helping to destigmatize the condition and highlight the challenges faced by individuals with disabilities in the public eye. Ashley Walker, who also lives with dyslexia, expressed happiness at Holland's candor, noting that the condition is often not discussed enough, particularly by those affected by it, due to societal stigma. Walker, however, wished Holland had gone into more detail about his personal experiences.
