Patrick Dempsey Can’t Read

Patrick Dempsey

Patrick Dempsey recently revealed that he suffers from dyslexia to Barbara Walters for an episode of her Specials that will air Wednesday. He said he had a tough time as a kid and still has trouble on set.

Dempsey, 40, says he struggles while reading scripts and memorizing his lines.

“I think that’s when I get the most insecure … it’s very hard for me to read it off the page,” he says. “I need to memorize it, in order to go on.”

Dempsey, now experiencing a career comeback since dropping off Hollywood’s radar screen after his ’80s romantic comedy days, says he was once prone to divalike behavior.

“You can’t have temper tantrums,” he says. “You have to be professional and I don’t think I understood that at the time.”

On “Grey’s Anatomy,” Dempsey’s character is nicknamed “Dr. McDreamy” by the hospital’s female interns, including Dr. Meredith Grey, played by Ellen Pompeo.(source)

McDreamy? More like McDummy. What a stupid idiot who can’t read. I would be upset about him possibly seeing this post but he would quit after the title because it would give him a headache. I don’t ever watch Grey’s Anatomy because I am too busy inoculating the world’s sick with life giving vitamins. Except I would change the world’s sick to Swedish Figure Skaters and life giving vitamins with my penis. Oh, Katherine Hiegl is on that show. She’s hot.Katherine Heigl of Grey's AnatomyKatherine Heigl-01.jpgKatherine Heigl.JPG

    Haha, did you spell things wrong on this post on purpose or are you another stupid idiot who can’t read?

    I *can* read, but I am a stupid dummy who can’t type and desperately needs a copy editor, Martha. Thanks for the catch!

    My husband also suffers from dyslexia. It’s not a matter of he–or Patrick Dempsey–being an idiot at all; in fact, dyslexia is a neurological disorder. I speak with certainty when I say if my husband was faced with the decision to read or not read, he would choose to read–if he could. Between 5 and 15 percent of the population can be diagnosed with one form of dyslexia or another. Finally, dyslexia isn’t defined by IQ at all; many intelligent people such as Albert Einstein and General George Patton were dyslexic.
