Derry Girls' Dylan Llewellyn: Dyslexia made learning lines a challenge

The Derry Girls star talks to Imy Brighty-Potts about overcoming difficulties at school and how gaming helped him beat loneliness.

Dylan Llewellyn: “I wanted to be a photographer first,” says the Derry Girls star, 30.

Dylan Llewellyn became an actor by accident. In fact, he never really wanted to be in front of the camera at all.

“I wanted to be a photographer first,” says the Derry Girls star, 30. “My first ever A was in photography.” It’s hard to believe it now, given his success on the small screen, but Llewellyn admits he originally “chose drama as a doss subject”.
