After all, being an international Hollywood star is the title that should be justified always and in everything. Therefore, today we will tell you about several of the most famous stars that can boast of a high IQ.

1. Matt Stone and Trey Parker

Probably not many have heard of this couple of guys, but they are the creators of the very popular, but inherently controversial animated series "South Park". These guys, in a very tough and comical manner, love to ridicule not only popular celebrities, but also politicians, modern realities and much more. And that is why they are on our list, because satire is not the easiest thing to understand, and you need to have a really subtle and sharp mind in order to balance on the verge of rude humor and outright provocation. Many people consider them rather silly and funny, however, as Parker himself says in an interview: "You have to think about our creation if you want to laugh at it."

2. Alicia Keys

This woman is one of those who easily proves that sometimes life is associated with risk and this is exclusively for the good. Alicia graduated from high school at the age of 16 and became the most famous alumnus to receive her farewell speech thanks to outstanding grades. However, Alicia turned down a scholarship at Columbia University to start her musical career, thus making a rather risky move.

Perhaps Jolie realized that her star status can be used for the good of society, which makes her the smartest and most exemplary woman, capable of boasting an IQ of 120 points.

4. Claire Danes

Claire is an excellent candidate who brings the phrase "not quantity, but quality" to life. The number of her films can be counted on one hand, but this does not prevent her from acting exclusively in famous films. The actress received her first Golden Globe at the age of 15 for the painting "My So-Called Life", after which her career skyrocketed. Claire has shown a new level in Romeo + Juliet, Temple Grandin, and, of course, in the romantic and beautiful Stardust. However, this is not the main reason why she ended up on our list. Claire attended Danton School and graduated from the prestigious Francais des Los Angeles Lyceum. After she entered the psychology department at Yale University, then to leave it for the sake of her career. We also note that according to the latest data, her IQ level is 140 points.

This actress is well known to us for her roles in such films as Taxi Driver, The Silence of the Lambs and, of course, The Accused, for which she received her first Oscar. This woman is not afraid to seem beautiful and smart, and for good reason, because her IQ is 132 points, and Foster herself once studied at Yale University and received a diploma in literature there.

7. Nicole Kidman

Each of her appearances on the screen is a real explosion of emotions, because she demonstrates a truly powerful acting game, be it films like "Moulin Rouge", "Others" or "Big Little Lies". But at the same time, the actress dropped out of college for a future career, which does not prevent her from being the owner of IQ 132, being the real embodiment of beauty and intelligence in one bottle.

8. Will Smith

Any person who is called "the most influential actor on the planet" must have at least an average indicator of intelligence, if not more. In his 50s, Will managed to star in a huge number of films, among which were both very successful in the form of "I Am Legend" and disastrous ones, for example, the fantastic picture "After Common Era". It is worth noting that Smith has an amazing set of roles, each of which looks organic, and, most importantly, Will does not stop there, in which he is helped by a high IQ level of 115 points, as well as his adorable family and children.

9. James Cameron

After all, his "Titanic" to this day is the most iconic and viewed film, every frame of which is impressive and remains in the memory. Just what are his paintings "Avatar" and "The Terminator", where, as many argue, James even managed to predict the future in the form of a war for resources, as well as the use of combat drones.

Johnny is perhaps one of the few modern actors who do not care about the commercial success of the film, and therefore he easily takes on the wildest and seemingly strange, phantasmagoric roles. The funny thing is that after the release of such pictures on the screen, the world box office, as a rule, breaks all records. At the same time, Johnny tries to stay away from the Hollywood hustle and bustle, living in a small house on the outskirts. We also note that at one time Depp was expelled from school, but he did not give up and created his own musical group, and then appeared for the first time on the movie screen.
