6 Celebrities With Unexpected Degrees by chloedaniel: 10:08am On Jan 15, 2021
When the word celebrity pops up in your mind, the first thing that you can think about them is a bunch of good looking individuals along with charming aesthetics. It is widely believed that these celebrities usually tend to have an acting degree or may directly opt for films after their high school and thus are not highly qualified. However we cannot apply the same formula to every case, therefore it seems to be partially true as there are a lot of celebrities who have amazing study records and have acquired their degrees in some of the major fields of knowledge.

While there are no such degree prerequisites to enter the film industry, many of these Hollywood Artists have extensive knowledge in their respective field of knowledge. This is quite a surprise for many of the fans who think that these artists would belong only to arts. Being a prominent figure these celebrities are famous for their acting among their fans but there is no such record found that the artists are rather famous for their educational backgrounds.

But we cannot always judge a book by its cover, right? So here are a list of celebrities with unexpected degrees which will amaze you for sure:

Natalie Portman:

Natalie Portman is one of the stars that are very enthusiastic and concerned regarding their education. As prove from the fact that Natalie Portman did not appear on the premiere of ‘STAR WARS’ as she was busy preparing for her high school exams. Moreover she has written many research papers as well and two of her papers made their way to be published in the Scientific Journal. She got her graduation degree in psychology as a major from Harvard University. Her keenness for her education is quite visible from her statement that, "I don't care if [college] ruins my career, I'd rather be smart than a movie star."

Rowan Atkinson:

Number two on our list is the man who made our childhood better than ever, none other than and one and only Mr. Bean. He is considered to be the number one silent comedian all across the globe. But to our surprise the person who acted funny just to make us laugh was a genius himself and had studied Electrical Engineering from oxford. But rather than opting for his field he devoted his life to make people laugh, which not anyone can certainly do.

James Franco:

Beside being a super talented actor, James Franco has an absolutely remarkable educational background and is a genius himself. He had spent the past few years of his life on a tour to America’s top institutions, passing different degrees in various fields of knowledge. He started off with a B.A degree from UCLA, then he went to Columbia university to obtain a Master's Degree and is now pursuing a PhD degree at Yale.

Lisa Kudrow:

Lisa Kudrow also known as Ditzy Phoebe from friends as an absolute opposite of her character in real life. She is very smart and intelligent and has completed her degree in the field of psychobiology from the Prestigious Vassar College in New York. She has been working for a significant 8 years on research regarding cluster headaches along with her father. Moreover, their work in this regard is considered as world leading.

Mara Wilson:

Mara Wilson also known as Matilda has ruled our hearts by acting brilliantly in her character of a girl with naturally gifted superpower. But soon when she entered NYU Tisch School of Arts, she decided to quit acting for good to opt for a career in writing. She herself stated that acting is just a hobby for her and writing is her life now.

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson:

Who doesn't love‘ ‘The Rock’’? The Last but not the least in our list is our ultimate favorite wrestler and action hero Dwayne Johnson. The renowned actor has acquired a bachelor's degree in the field of Criminology and physiology from the University of Miami. Not to forget that this was not the easiest time for him but he got through and proved himself to be a real life hero.

It is widely believed that the only talent actors have lie in whatever they’ve become well-known for, but it is not quite right. The above mentioned list depicts that these stars not only excel in acting but in the academic fields of knowledge as well. So the next time before thinking that Hollywood actors cannot do good in studies you must consider these examples. Their are numerous examples in this regard and you can look up to these actors not as stars but also a living inspiration for many of us , who want to make their way to both fields side by side and shine as bright as these stars.
