Bella Thorne revealed that she had to teach herself how to read and count later in life than most.

The 21-year-old celebrity got her start as a child model before pivoting over to the world of TV and movies. Having started out so young in the business, the former Disney star admitted in a recent podcast interview that no one ever taught her the basics of numbers and literacy, so she learned on-the-fly as she built her brand and business.

Thorne appeared on the “Chicks in the Office” podcast to discuss her upcoming book “The Life of a Wannabe Mogul.” During the interview, hosts Maria Ciuffo and Francesca Mariano asked her about her greatest accomplishments.

“I don’t talk about it in this one, but in the third book it would be the fact that I never learned how to read and I learned how to read from reading scripts,” Thorne revealed (via Us Weekly). “I never learned how to count and I learned how to count from counting my dad’s cash. I’m obsessed with money and literal cash.”

The former “Famous In Love” star went on to note that she’s had to learn a lot of basic life skills in order to thrive in Hollywood and show business.

“I didn’t know how to dance. I had two left feet and I couldn’t even bounce on the same rhythm, and I did a dance show about dancing. I was tone death and I own a record label, and I’m signed with Sony as an artist. And I can f---ing sing a capella like a b---- a-- now. So, f--- with me.”
