3. Tom Cruise

The Mission Impossible actor discussed his experience with dyslexia in a 2009 interview. The actor said that he was diagnosed with the disorder when he was only 7 years old. Cruise described his younger self as a “functional illiterate.” Cruise refused to let dyslexia get in the way of his acting career, saying, “I had to train myself to focus my attention. I became very visual and learned how to create mental images in order to comprehend what I read.”
