Luke Newton Disability: Is Luke Newton Dyslexic?

Luke Newton is a British actor. Luke Newton revealed in an interview with Independent magazine that he was diagnosed with ADHD and Dyslexia as a child. He described the combo as his “worst nightmare” when it comes to reading a script.

It’s part of the reason he originally was drawn towards musical theatre, he says, as “I knew I could learn songs really quickly and melodies came quite easily to me”.

One of the reasons he chose to first discuss his dyslexia in interviews was to show aspiring actors that it does not have to prevent them from succeeding. There are still struggles, he says, but “as long as I can have the script and have a bit of time before then I’m OK

Nowadays, Newton says he feels “completely settled and fine in that I can say it, I don’t think it’s going to jeopardise my chances. I feel really content in the fact that I can say, ‘Look, I’m dyslexic, so this might take me a little bit longer,

but on the day, don’t worry, I’ll be absolutely fine.’”

Newton made his television debut as Luke Attwood in the BBC Two teen series The Cut in 2010, appearing in 11 episodes. He made his professional stage debut in 2013 as an understudy for Elder Price in the West End production of The Book of Mormon. He is best known for his role as Colin Bridgerton in the Netflix series “Bridgerton.”
