15 celebrities who have higher education or even a doctorate (16 photos)

30 October 2023

Who is this smart and educated person? Of course, we did not expect from people well-known in the field of entertainment that they were all dark and, God willing, had graduated from high school - at a minimum, they could easily get a degree in the field of art and culture.





But there are more interesting cases. Some celebrities we know as actors, musicians or athletes have rather sudden degrees. Someone graduated from Harvard or Cambridge with Oxford, which is cool in itself, but it’s even cooler when the scope of their education turns out to be difficult to compare with their media image, which is created in films or on carpets.

Let's look at a few examples.

Natalie Portman has a BA in Psychology



The actress graduated from Harvard.

Sacha Baron Cohen has a degree in history





The actor graduated from Cambridge.

David Duchovny has an M.A. in English Literature



Not ufology at all. The actor received a degree from Yale University.

Brian May has a PhD in astrophysics



In 2007, the Queen guitarist completed his Ph.D. thesis. The musician almost completed it in his youth, but the success of the group forced him to postpone his scientific activities.

Ken Jeong holds an M.D.



Weird Al Yankovic holds a BA in Architecture



Freddie Highmore received a BA in Spanish and Arabic



The actor graduated from Cambridge.

Lisa Kudrow holds a BA in Biology



Rowan Atkinson holds an MSc in Electrical Engineering



The actor received a degree from Queens College, Oxford.

Hugh Laurie holds a BA in Anthropology and Archeology



But not medicine! The actor graduated from Cambridge.

Shaquille O'Neal received his doctorate in education



The famous basketball player completed his studies after the end of his sports career in 2012. His thesis focused on the sense of humor used by leaders in the workplace.

Rashida Jones received a degree in comparative religion



The actress graduated from Harvard.

Dwayne Johnson has a degree in criminology and physiology



Dolph Lundgren holds a master's degree in chemical engineering



Arnold Schwarzenegger holds a Bachelor's degree in International Business and Economics



He was also the governor of California, so in his case this is not even surprising.
