'Harry Potter' star Daniel Radcliffe has revealed that he lives with a brain disorder called dyspraxia, says the New York Daily News.

The condition creates difficulties with hand-to-eye coordination, says the newspaper, adding that Radcliffe told Britain’s Daily Mail that he sometimes fumbles, for instance, with his shoelaces.

"I sometimes think, 'Why, oh why, has Velcro not taken off?'" the NYDN says Radcliffe jokingly told the UK paper.

The NYDN adds that dyspraxia is a life-long disorder that can become more pronounced in times of stress.
