Usually, the words "celebrity" and "smartest" rarely appear in the same sentence. After all, looking at people like Lindsay Lohan or Paris Hilton, it’s hard to believe that such people can have a high IQ level. However, every rule has its exceptions, and the world of Hollywood beauties and fashionable men is no exception. Your attention is a list of the smartest celebrities who amaze with their ingenuity.

1. Quentin Tarantino

To create such movie masterpieces as "Kill Bill", "Pulp Fiction" and "Inglourious Basterds," you need, of course, an incredible level of intelligence. Of course, Tarantino, like other people, has his mistakes and failures, one has only to remember his works "Death Proof" and "Four Rooms". However, this did not make him less smart and talented, knowing exactly what the audience wants and how to do it. Few people know, however, Tarantino is a member of Mensa - an international association for people with a high level of intelligence, where his indicators are in the range of 160. And this proves that even the lack of secondary education like Quentin's does not make a person stupid, because sometimes we are born genius from nature.

2. Matt Damon

This actor does not have as many fans as we would like, but it is impossible to deny the overwhelming success of the Bourne film series, as well as the picture "Good Will Hunting", which surpassed all expectations. It should also be noted that Matt was an excellent student at school, lacked twos, and also studied English at Harvard, which significantly increases his rating among not only the most beautiful, but also the smartest people on the planet.

3. Sharon Stone

This beautiful actress, who, for a minute, is already more than fifty, is known to all and sundry. After all, she not only found the secret of how to make time stop and not grow old, but also played the most iconic role in the film "Basic Instinct", some scenes from which to this day stand before your eyes and stir up the blood. But few know that Sharon entered Edinboro University of Penstival at the age of 15, and that she has an IQ of 154 and is a distinguished member of Mensa. So, sex appeal and intelligence in one bottle - this is definitely about Stone.

4. Meryl Streep

Still beautiful in her seventy years - this is about Meryl Streep, an actress with a worldwide reputation and recognition. Streep is a perfect example of how elegant and attractive all women must age. The best part for her fans is that she doesn't change for a second, showing that stopping time is pretty easy. Nothing more than 16 Oscar nominations, as well as 25 Golden Globe nominations, speaks about the level of her unique intelligence, which allowed her to become one of the most influential actresses in history.

5. Cate Blanchett

It is impossible not to respect the actress who creates real magic every time she appears in front of the cameras. And it doesn't matter at all what role it will be - Queen Elizabeth, domineering and strong, or charming Daisy from The Mysterious Story of Benjamin Button, or Jude in the film I'm Not There. This woman has never caused a negative impression when appearing on the screen, and is also one of those who are not afraid to take financial risks to take a leap forward. Many also note that she is a worthy successor to Meryl Streep herself. We also note that her IQ level is 140, and Keith herself studied economics at the University of Melbourne.

6. Shakira

Her unique figure with rounded hips attracts all eyes, and her enchanting voice causes a real chaos of goose bumps, forcing to listen attentively to every line. All this is about the charming singer Shakira, who is known as one of the most attractive women in show business. However, at the same time, she has an impressive IQ level of 140 points, which allows her to be not just a beautiful cover, but also have a lively, bright and unique mind.

7. Elizabeth Shue

Perhaps, recently, few people will be able to remember this talented actress, but this does not make her less remarkable and memorable. At one time, she made her bright debut in the film "The Adventures of a Babysitter", starred in such popular films as the series of films "Back to the Future" and "The Karate Kid". Despite her sweet and charming, sometimes too innocent beauty, Elizabeth has an extraordinary mind: she graduated from Wellesley College, as well as Harvard University. Although she left her alma mater to pursue an acting career, she soon returned to pursue her BA in Political Science.

8. Cindy Crawford

This world-famous supermodel has done everything to become the most recognizable, from countless shootings for the most popular magazines and their covers, to advertising videos from around the world and her own brand. With her business skills and amazing attractiveness, Cindy still holds one of the places of honor on the list of the hottest women in the world, despite the solid age of 53. However, her beauty did not prevent her from becoming one of the smartest girls in show business. So, in high school, the girl's marks did not fall below 4 points, after which she entered the Northwestern University with a degree in chemical engineering, while receiving a full academic scholarship. And despite the fact that after several semesters Cindy dropped out of her studies for a career, we are more than confident that she would have done an excellent job in such a difficult profession.

9. Anderson Cooper

It would be rather strange if our list did not include one of the best and most famous journalists of our time, namely Anderson Cooper. Despite his quite solid age, Cooper still looks like a superstar, and also boasts a fairly high level of intelligence. At one time, he graduated from the Dalton School, after which he entered Yale University, studying many sciences, among which international relations and political science were especially noted, while having an IQ of 123.

10. Jennifer Connelly

This woman is rightfully called the most mysterious and incredibly attractive actress, who always knows how to choose the right role. And until now, her instinct has never let the girl down, that she managed to be noted in such masterpieces as "Requiem for a Dream", "A Beautiful Mind" and others. It is also worth noting that the beautiful and burning brunette once attended Yale University, after which she studied at Stanford, where she learned French and Italian to the highest level.

11. Famke Janssen

There is something about this woman that literally screams that she is a bad girl. Perhaps this impression of her was formed after the role of Xenia Onatopp in the film "Golden Eye", which belonged to the rather famous series of James Bond films, where Famke played the villainess who can strangle her own thighs. Or maybe she earned this opinion after the movie "X-Men", where she played the charming Jean Gray. However, despite this, in real life, Famke is a sweet and charming, intelligent girl who graduated from Columbia University, where she studied literature and writing, and also studied at the University of Amsterdam at the Faculty of Economics, having an IQ of 123.

12. Emma Watson

Emma may be only thirty years old, but this girl really has an extremely smart and bright head on her shoulders. Her fans are happy to note how the girl is gradually playing more and more serious roles, revealing herself as a talented actress and a truly gorgeous woman. She currently holds a Diploma in Literature and Art from Brown University. Perhaps it was this achievement that helped her to give a new start to her acting career, as well as a rather high IQ of 138 points.

Continuing the theme - which in terms of IQ surpassed genius men.
