We will not argue that people from the street get to the set of the dream factory, but not everyone can show off their diplomas. Hollywood actors for the most part are just students of acting courses and have graduated from college at most. And even more so, only a few can boast of a Harvard graduation and a high IQ. Meet the smartest and most educated American celebrities.
Natalie Portman
We would call her "an athlete, activist, Komsomol member and just a beautiful girl." This Hollywood clever girl not only acts in film, but also writes scripts, produces films. Even from school, she became interested in science and even did research in a team with prominent scientists, as a result of which she became a co-author of the work on the topic "Enzymatic production of hydrogen".
Natalie also took an active part in scientific competitions. Of course, she was awarded a high school diploma with honors, which helped her to enter Harvard and get a bachelor's degree in psychology. But the girl did not stop there - she studied Arabic, French and Japanese at the University of Jerusalem. This is in addition to the fact that he is fluent in English and Hebrew. Of course, many famous politicians were glad to see such a beautiful hard worker next to them - the actress took part in election campaigns in different years.
Jodie Foster
Needless to say - this phenomenal girl managed to become the owner of two Oscars by the age of 30. At the same time, the movie star does not have a specialized acting education. But she is so smart and has an amazing memory that she speaks fluent English and French, knows Italian, and also speaks a little German and Spanish. Parents did not skimp on education: this gifted child studied at a prestigious private school in Los Angeles, and then at Yale University.
She graduated with honors, receiving a bachelor's degree in literary criticism. But the girl's inquisitive mind did not want to stop there. Taking an independent interest in and studying the works of the great masters of painting, after 12 years she herself received an Honorary Doctor of Fine Arts degree.
Eva Longoria
We may disappoint you, but the "desperate housewife" is not. The girl quickly became famous in Hollywood not only for her beauty, but also for her sharp mind. As proof - a bachelor's degree in kinesiology from the University of Texas A&M Univercity-Kingsville. Of course, she did not work as a doctor and study the psycho-emotional state of patients, and in the process of a successful career as an actress, she went to study the history of the Mexican people at the graduate school of the University of California at Northridge.
Yes, and rightly so - we need to find out how the genes of her ancestors influenced her entire family. By the way, Eva is the only one of the four sisters who inherited dark skin and dark eyes. Well, but seriously, according to Eva Longoria, this will help her get to know the people better and help in her charitable work.
Dolph Lundgren
This American actor became famous for his roles in action films, and once even played a Soviet boxer. The choice of the role is not accidental - the future actor has been engaged in martial arts since childhood and was even honored to become the captain of the US pentathlon team at the Olympic Games. He was also well known and popular in bodybuilding circles. But, despite his tall stature and a mountain of muscles, Dolph has a fairly high IQ.
He studied at the University of Washington, the Royal Institution in Stockholm, the University of Technology Sydney and the Massachusetts Institute in Boston. By and large, he was interested in chemistry, so he eventually received a master's degree in chemical engineering. Now the film actor, filmmaker, screenwriter and producer has settled in his native Sweden. After the recession of his acting career, Dolph took up scientific activities and even began to write textbooks for schools and universities in chemistry.
James Franco
This Hollywood handsome man is considered by many to be the most versatile educated actor in Hollywood. He not only plays great in films, but also writes books and scripts for films, he removes and produces them, and also draws and teaches well. His education is not only the University of California with a degree in English, but also Columbia University in the Master of Literature program, as well as in New York in the filmmaking class. In addition to attending lectures and seminars, a smart young man also manages to be interested in painting. Moreover, this fact is even confirmed by the film with his participation.
In one of the episodes of "Spider-Man" you can see him drawing. Currently, this educated young man has been entrusted with teaching. He lectures on "The Art of Shooting Short Films". And still continues to study - now writing a doctoral dissertation on English literature at Yale University.
Ashley Judd
As they say, if you want a smart, well-read child, put away the TV and surround it with books. Due to the poor financial situation in childhood, little Ashley was surrounded only by books. The girl had fun by reading them, playing the pages she had read with the dolls. After successfully graduating from high school, she studied at the Faculty of French Language and Literature at the University of Kentucky. True, she had to take an academic leave, since after moving to Los Angeles, her acting career began to take off. The acting courses that the girl attended helped in this.
Already, being not only a famous actress, but also a designer, humanitarian and political activist, Ashley Judd saw a gap in her education and entered Harvard University to study management in a non-profit field. So now she is also a Master in Public Administration.
Sharon Stone
The holder of the title of Dame of the French Order of Arts and Letters, Sharon Stone was a shy girl as a child. She was more interested in books than playing games with peers. In addition, her parents paid great attention to her education. After graduating from high school in Midville ahead of schedule, she entered the university in the department of fiction.
In the future, the girl acted very consistently: having won the title in a beauty contest and received a contract with a modeling agency, she went to conquer the world. And then, at 22, soberly deciding that the modeling career had exhausted itself, she returned to New York to engage in artistic activities. In the future, the actress did not graduate from universities, but despite this, she is considered one of the smartest actresses in Hollywood. Her IQ reaches 154 points.
