At first, his parents thought their child was incredibly stupid, because he learned to read much later than his peers and was not interested in studying, so he had incredibly low grades in primary school. Surprisingly, he read his first book only at the age of thirty-one. And yet, he managed to achieve popularity, thanks to which he gained millions of followers who still follow his activities on the internet to this day. Moreover, with age, the man began to receive more and more awards for his creativity and, as he himself says, he has no intention of stopping there. Apparently, you are also interested in his story and biography, so I suggest you get to know this talented boy better.
Henry Winkler, without expecting it, became incredibly popular all over the world. He had great difficulty understanding the material he was taught at school, but over time everything changed and he became incredibly famous all over the world. For this reason, many children bullied him at school and considered him extremely stupid.
Even in such a situation, his parents never defended him, but Henry was not going to give up and said that in the future he would definitely show his potential. Surprisingly, it was only many years later that he realised that he had never been able to achieve popularity for one simple reason — he was not doing what he had always been interested in. Of course, as an adult and a conscious person, Henry Winkler finally got rid of his complexes, so he is happy to help other children who face similar problems.
At the moment, this man is an extremely successful actor who is proud of himself, but it is difficult for him to remember his childhood, when no one really believed in him and even his parents had no hopes for him. The most interesting thing is that only after some time was he able to achieve what he wanted, even though he had to go through a very difficult path.
“My parents thought that a successful career was only possible if you did well at school and got an education at a prestigious university. So when I said I wanted to be creative, they just shook their heads and told me not to talk nonsense. Even as a teenager, they thought I was an incredibly lazy child, so they gave up hope that I would be able to build a successful career,” said the actor.
Of course, from childhood, the future actor tried not to pay attention to his parents’ insults, because he knew from the very beginning what he wanted to do. Of course, without the support of relatives, it is quite difficult to achieve anything in life, but the man tried not to give up. In the future, the actor managed to get an education at Yale University in a creative field.
Immediately after graduating, the young man was unable to land a single film role, no matter how hard he tried to get work, but he did not despair. Surprisingly, after a short period of time, he was finally able to star in a film called ‘Fonzie’ and also in ‘Happy Days’. Of course, the man experienced some difficulties at the very beginning of his work in this field, and he tried to solve them gradually.
“I had never read books before, but I started doing so at the age of thirty when I realised that I was reading too slowly. Because of my dyslexia, I really couldn’t develop any further, and I realised that my parents were right when they advised me to spend more time reading. I just hated reading because I wasn’t interested in any of the stories written in books. Of course, I was afraid of looking stupid when I was just getting cast in one of my first films, so I started practising reading more,” Henry said.
Perhaps this actor still has significant difficulties with reading, but he is striving to correct his mistakes. It is surprising that even his parents, at the height of their son’s career, began to take pride in him, although they had previously not believed in his abilities. After the actor achieved popularity, he also began writing books, which are popular with the public.
