EBN- Most celebrities aren’t really known for their educational degrees. However, some of them have college degrees that might surprise you.
Natalie Portman Has A Bachelor’s In Psychology
“I felt like there had been some mistake,” she later recalled, “that I wasn’t smart enough to be in this company, and that every time I opened my mouth I would have to prove that I wasn’t just a dumb actress.”
A conflict she had within herself, she handled mightily by grabbing her degree from Harvard. She went already a star, just after the release of Star Wars and came back with the paper to show that she wasn’t just some dumb actress.
Ashton Kutcher Has A Bachelor’s In Biochemical Engineering
Ashton Kutcher may be one of the funniest people in entertainment, but that doesn’t mean he’s short on knowledge (people often mistake him for an airhead). The multi-talented star attended the University of Iowa where he graduated in 1996.
He earned his degree in Biochemical Engineering, which is one of the harder majors to study. He hopes to find a cure for his brother’s heart disease. Now that’s a funny, yet a nobleman for you.
David Duchovny Has a Master’s Degree From Yale
For millennials, David Duchovny isn’t as recognized for his role in The X Files. Instead, he’s hailed as the boozy writer and social dope, Hank Moody in Californication. If you’ve ever seen the show, you can’t really blame yourself for thinking that Duchovny might be a little bit of a dunce too. He isn’t.
He graduated with a BA in English Literature from Princeton University before earning his Master’s from Yale. Wanting to become a screenwriter, he thought of acting as research. “I thought, ‘Well, if I’m going to write things that are going to be performed by actors, then it’s probably helpful for me to know something about what that’s like.” Little did he know he would drop his Ph.D. to act full time.
Rebel Wilson Has A Law Degree
One of the most popular characters from Pitch Perfect, Rebel Wilson confirmed with Seth Meyers that she indeed graduated law school back in 2009. She attended the University of New South Wales.
“A lot of people look at me and think I’m stupid,” she said, “But no, I graduated from a school that’s kind of like the Harvard of Australia.” And law, in general, isn’t the easiest subject to tackle so kudos to Wilson for this great accomplishment.
Freddie Highmore Has A Bachelor’s In Spanish And Arabic
Even though Freddie Highmore became a successful actor at a young age, he still thought it was important to go to college and get a degree.
In 2014, he got a Bachelor’s in Spanish and Arabic from Emmanuel College, Cambridge. He graduated with a double first, the British equivalent of first-class honors.
