so be sure to subscribe for more great
content for this list we’ve looked at
celebrities who are far more than just a
pretty face however those who achieved
fame as a direct result of their
intelligence do not qualify in short the
intelligence of contenders should not be
what they are most famous for that being
said if your favorite Brainiac celebrity
didn’t make our list be sure to check
out our original list of the top 10
smartest celebrities number 10
Matt Damon that’s gonna last until next
year you’re going to be Annie
regurgitated Gordon wood talking about
you know the pre-revolutionary utopia
and the Capitol forming effective
military mobilization his life imitate
art or does art imitate life a young
Matt Damon may suggest the latter as his
breakout work and Good Will Hunting told
the story of an incredibly talented
young man forced to face his past and
live up to his potential at the
prestigious Harvard University Damon
actually began working on the
award-winning screenplay during a
playwriting class he was taking at you
guessed it Harvard University one Scene
survived actually from that from what I
hand it in with what eventually became
Good Will Hunting
this of course skyrocketed him to fame
and his light has hardly dimmed since
then but it did cut short his studies
technically making Damon just short of
being a college grad but take a look
past the charisma and good looks and
you’ll find a well-spoken very bright
men as well I hope you’ll turn toward
the problem of your choosing I hope
you’ll drop everything and I hope you’ll
call it number 9 Edward Norton a man
what do you really listen to this it’s
an article written by an organ in the
first person
the first rule of Fight Club is you do
not talk about Fight Club
Norton seemingly applied this logic to
Yale as he’s modestly allowed this
impressive era of his life to fly
largely under the radar a back injury
forced him to give up the glory of
rowing
and take a stab at theater but Edward
actually began a promising career in
business before fully transitioning to
films moving to Japan after graduation
to consult the nonprofit enterprise
community partners Norton spoke fluent
Japanese although his vocab has become
limited since and remains on the
company’s board of trustees to this day
number 8
rashida Jones I’m not going to talk for
long cuz I have to pee again
except to pee every six minutes because
of a beach ball in my stomach that’s
punching on my bladder with notable
roles in Parks and Recreation the office
and the social network to name a few
Jones has more than her fair share of
enviable accomplishment she also has a
considerable head on her shoulders so
the moral of the story is if you make
out with someone in Labrador library
you’re guaranteed at least a network
sitcom yet another Harvard alum Jones
successfully graduated with a Bachelor
of Arts and comparative religion in 1997
she actually had plans to become a
lawyer but the OJ Simpson trial
allegedly left her jaded instead 1997
saw her take her first step into the
limelight with a role in the Mario Puzo
miniseries the last dawn before catching
her major break on Boston Public and
things have only been on the up-and-up
ever since get out of this office get
out of my life number 7 Steve Martin you
know the killer was a man or women
really gasai Newsday what has he’s down
it takes a true genius to play a fool
and he’s had his fair share of roles as
the sucker he’s also a member of Mensa
an IQ Society only open to those in the
98th percentile or higher just take a
look at his successful repertoire of
work and it’s clear that there is a high
degree of headiness to it Hey astronaut
application form with books screenplays
and music out there along with his many
comedic roles this man can do it all
Martin enrolled in philosophy at
California State University and later
UCLA and had a rich
we intended to become a professor a path
that instead led him straight to comedy
because yeah be me
number six Emma Watson got him a green
sock you may know her best as the
incredibly intelligent witch Hermione
Granger in the Harry Potter series and
Watson had plenty of inspiration to draw
upon for her role in 2011 she became a
student while maintaining her acting
career working towards a degree in
English literature from Brown University
while also studying for a time at Oxford
Watson is clearly quite well-spoken and
her UN Women campaigns more than proven
the only downside to all this trying to
avoid imaginary points for Gryffindor
from unruly classmates whenever she
answers a question number 5 ken Jeong
your spectacular breasts mean nothing to
me not a perforation at all I’m saying
he could bill illegal licenses there’s
probably a good chance your first
introduction to this actor was a full
view of his unmentionables in his
side-splitting performance in The
Hangover he said a surprise to hear he
would also be more than prepared to save
your life on a minutes notice
ken Jeong studied pre-med at Duke
University and got his MD at the
University of North Carolina at Chapel
Hill 7 years I worked full-time hey not
too many actors can transition to a
six-figure job at a hospital if the
rolls dry up during his early days Shaun
actually would split his time between
treating patients and taking comedy gigs
before his big break as a doctor in
knocked-up you smoke cigarettes
you you smoked cigarettes I have on
occasion on occasion when was the last
time you had one pig number for Geena
Davis handbook for the recently diseased
fish they say if you say Beetlejuice
three times in a row a Mensa member
who’s fluent in Swedish with an IQ of
140 will appear
your Excellencies and honoured – there’s
my effect that it could be a game I
thought a had a challenge while Davis
may be most associated with Thelma and
Louise and Beetlejuice she’s put her
impressive intelligence to good use as
well notably Tina received an honorary
Doctorate from Bates College in 2009 for
research on gender studies in the media
Hey it’s not easy to be an Olympic
caliber athlete
Academy award-winning actress and noted
genius but this triple threat is
accomplished number three
Jon Stewart Jesus Mohammed and Moses all
went to the same high school there was
peace there if anyone ever tries to make
the argument that stand-up comedy is a
fool’s profession Jon Stewart is more or
less the definitive counter-argument to
this claim before his historic stint on
The Daily Show
Stewart studied at the College of
William and Mary majoring in psychology
Thank You mr. president I had forgotten
how crushing lead all these ceremonies
are thank you despite his clear
intelligence he decided to bounce around
to various odd jobs while taking a stab
at comedy club in New York City today
Stewart has left his mark in film
literature TV and more his influence is
widespread and his knack for
entertainment with wait continues to
permeate our culture despite the fact
that he walked away from the show that
made him a household name
number two Sharon Stone did you kill mr.
Boz mr. Amell I’d have to be pretty
stupid to write a book about killing and
then kill somebody the way I described
it in my book Stone is an Academy Award
nominated actress and a certain leg
crossing scene in Basic Instinct has
reached nearly legendary status in film
lore but she’s also undoubtedly the
smartest person in most rooms she walked
into at age 15
most of us were working on getting our
learner’s permit Sharon was awarded a
college scholarship to Edinboro
University where she studied creative
writing and Fine Arts and that’s two
with an IQ of 154 stone is comfortably
in the top portion of the 99th
percentile qualifying for but never
actually joining Mensa it wouldn’t be
hard queen be hard at all
before we unveil our number one pick
here are some honorable mentions I think
the last certificate of merit I received
as my cycling proficiency so I’m
wondering if you have any background in
education of course I worked at a school
tree you did but I know how like in the
actor radiometry Sam yeah I have a
master’s degree in poetry so number one
Quentin Tarantino I need you to tell me
how good my coffee is ok I’m going to
bite it
I know how good it is don’t get any
ideas but Tarantino dropped out of high
school and landed a job at a porn
theater this behavior may not appear
emblematic of a genius but he’s
undeniably just that it’s not a plate
for smart people Jerry yes a slew of
films that are considered masterpieces
may indicate his prowess but the Pulp
Fiction director had set himself apart
from the rest of the world long before
that with a nearly unheard of IQ of 160
for reference this puts him squarely in
the 99.99 6th percentile right next to
legendary theoretical physicist Stephen
Hawking truly a poster child of
structured education shortcomings
Tarantino was destined to shake things
up from the very beginning at the same
time though yeah there’s a lot more to
competition but also those crappy movies
aren’t competition it’s saying is like
dynamite
