Rowan Atkinson actually is really, really smart
You can hear it in the way he speaks and behaves, he’s truly intelligent
He is Johnny English lol
True
I know many electronics engineers, they are childish as fuck, too.
absolutely
That's how British sound
Natalie Portman speaks fluently Hebrew? What a shock to find a woman from Israel capable of speaking Hebrew...
Yeah shocker
I know, right?
@@neiljohnson7914
Yeah U know
I'm from israel, I speak Hebrew, English, russian, and learning Arabic... guess I'm a genius.
Grey Porter not if you didn’t go to Harvard....
You missed out the 3 other band members of Queen, who all had University degrees and IQ's over 150.
Freddy Mercury had a degree in Graphic design and illustration - he did the art work on the band's most iconic record sleeves - "A Night At The Opera", and "A Day At The Races".
Roger Taylor gained a degree in biology and was due to further his career by becoming a dentist.
John Deacon was the most intelligent of them all, gaining a First Class Honours degree in Electronics.
They have been collectively known beforehand as the most highly qualified rock band in the world.
Pebbles The Cat
What do you mean by " Had " ?
Do these people not have their earned degrees any more?
In your sentence ' You missed out the 3 other band members of Queen'
The word OUT is redundant and not required in the sentence.
Ir should read: You missed three other band members of Queen.
Read more books to become fluent in the English language.
However, I will give you credit for correctly using 'Title Case' when writing titles.
"A Night At The Opera", and "A Day At The Races".
Good luck
* Brian May, John Deacon and Roger Taylor are the three surviving members of 'Queen'
as near as I recall.
Ahahaha I swear, there's always that one friend in the circle, in this case Freddie, who's rlly good at doing his stuff, but everyone else seems to have degrees in the rlly tough stuff and just overshadow you
Yoooo what about Brian May u bish
Freddie* they’re all smart but Brian is TOO SMART that’s why he’s part of this list. They can’t put all the band members just because they’re smart
Superb!
Don't let schooling get in the way of your education.
- Mark Twain
Ouuuu man, you're the man
I think the saying is “I never let my schooling get in the way of my education”. But I could be wrong
Another quote falsely attributed to Twain...was actually Aristotle!
Right look how many “ smart people “ have no common sense or emotional intelligence ! Can’t major in those at Harvard
gr8 education is schooling!
Johnny Sins anyone? i mean he can be anything...i watched him being a doctor, personal trainer, professor, cop, etc.
+Hosea Aldri I bet he gets all the girls
Tupac Shakur anyone?
+Michael Ellis maybe
Haha hell yeah😂
true
I dont think degrees alone should categorize someone as smart
As an engineer, I can attest to plenty of dumbasses that received their degree.
Truth
Damn true
+Ava Whitaker Because Mensa should be the standard , not you.
Yes, but you can try do both things. Hah, there are lots of guys who always say sth is very easy to get. Before those, here is only one word that is try plz.
MSmojo:You know more than 2 languages and then you're consider as Intelligent.
*1.3 Billion Indians* : Oh really lol!
alok baluni 😂😂😂I am an Indian I know English, Hindi, Sanskrit, Konkani, Marathi, Spanish & Japanese
@@vinaykamath6628 In India many people are multilingual. In fact I know Hindi, English, Gadhwali, Python,C++ Oh wait
Me: so... does that include dialects?
Also me: *remembers that I learnt Thai for the sake of TV shows,
learnt Korean for the sake of K-dramas,
first language: Filipino... by that I mean Tagalog & Ilocano...
Mainly speaks English using different accents at a time...
There's more people in the world that can do that not just y'all. Y quiero ver si es cierto que saben español.
Dialects AND Languages are different smh
Christopher Lee:
Learned some of the following lenguages self taught by acting, could speak englisch, french, italian, russian, german, spanisch, portuguese, swahili and 3 urdu dialects. Worked for a secret service (SOE) and royal air force, was a fully educated opera singer, song writer and so on
Fought on both sides in WWII.
And had a really big overbite 😂😂🤣
Miss him
And I think he met Tolkien
Now that was a true legend and smart guy
It's cute how a lot of English native speakers think being fluent in two languages is a sign of intelligence. Many, many people who did not grow up with English as their first language are fluent in two or more, as is almost everybody with parents from different countries. Speaking 3 or 4 languages well is still rather normal in big parts of the world. Not to put down Natalie Portman, she is both a very intelligent and likeable woman and a great actress. I just thought it was funny how her speaking two languages was pointed out as a sign of some great intellect (neither is going to an Ivy League school if you come from a wealthy family, btw, Harvard in particular is notorious for shady practices involving giving their students high grades by default so as to not piss off rich parents that may withhold donations).
I was invited to attend Harvard after my first couple of semesters at a "lesser" school. I couldn't afford the tuition at Harvard, but the fact that I was invited shows that they'll let just about anyone in.
This is untrue and offensive. Ivy Leagues all offer 100% free tuition to any student wh makes under $60,000 a year and charges only a percentage of their tuition to students who make under $150,00 a year. All Ivy leagues are very, very difficult to get in to, and going to them is in fact a sign of intelligence. Harvard has a bunch of systems in place to specifically fight against classism in their school. Though I agree that being bilingual in her case doesn't necessarily mean she's intelligent considering she is fluent in Hebrew, but was also born in Israel
Well,if you are fluent in 2 languages but non in your family speaks other but your native language also means you are not smart? I mean, learning a language is a whole process,specially if you learn it in your adulthood. In my case, I feel makes you a little bit smarter than other,because opens your mind. I wonder how many languages do you speak... I speak 4 and certainly I do not have family with other heritage but latino.
speaking other languages does make you intelligent, especially if you learn them on your own. I just can see how somebody knowing two languages because they lived in two countries is, not unintelligent, just taking advantage of circumstance? I don't think I'm explaining that well. It certainly makes you intelligent
agree! in my country, normally people speak 3-4 different languages.. and its really normal that somebody who cant speak those languages is foolish etc..
People often forget that Hedy Lamarr was one of the most intelligent actors ever. She co-designed a radio guidance system to help the Allies in World War II. The Navy adopted the technology in the 1960s and the principles of her work were used in the making of modern technologies such as Bluetooth and Wifi. She was also a fantastic actress and drop dead gorgeous.
Why she's left out is a mystery, she not only was highly educated for her time, she was Very intelligent.
Hedy Lamarr also came up with the facelift method in plastic surgery, but didn't know when to stop on that one.
EXACTLY
She is incorporated in the inventors hall of fame. She was a brilliant and beautiful woman.
She never earned a cent for her invention(s). But later persons who expanded on her work credited her with providing the foundation.
Did you know that every single person whose native language isn´t english and is watching this video is fluent at at least 2 languages?
*G E N I U S*
Yep
I'm fluent in 5 different languages...
@@friedmiracle9960 ok
I speak 6 languages. I am Indian and majority of South Indians know atleast 3 languages. Their mother tongue, our national language Hindi and most of them know English. Apart from those I have stayed in 3 other Indian states and every state in India has a different language each very different from the other both in terms of reading and writing. So I basically know 6. (English, Hindi, Kannada, Konkani, Gujarati and Marathi). But I am not a genius. Its normal here. Its sad that Americans and the ones from UK know only English.
I'm African, from Ghana
Learnt French in school
Learnt Spanish on my own
And, I of course, speak and write English very well.
I'm a genius.
Brian May: The Modern Day Handel with a PhD in Astrophysics...
That helps explain his ideas in the song "39" that is one of my favorites of his. It's a fantastic song, also done very well by the band Pretty Maids.
Actually, Brian May was awarded a honorary degree, he dropped out of university to pursue his musical career, and many years later when he wanted to complete his degree he only had to complete a whole one theses. The rest is history. I truly believe that he shouldn't have been on this list.
Who cares he cant write songs and yes he can play the guitar good but his music taste and the songs he plays suck
@@Notcminecraft imma have to disagree on that one chief
@@Notcminecraft You know something, you suck! 'bites banana'
Rowan Atkinson is proof that it takes a genius to play an idiot
+Eli Paul
VERY well put!
I love his comedy, Yet Brian May has added scientifically to human knowledge. I wish Rowan Atkinson would do something similar with his amazing IQ.
I also don't understand how some of the highest IQ so called 'alternative comedians' think using a load of expletives is funny than just offensive.
AHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHA PREACHHH
In my country, we have a Burden who does the exact opposite of what you just mentioned.. 😒
Mr. Bean in the thumbnail made me click
+David Cretier Same
same bro
Same
+David Cretier
Why?
Rowan Atkinson doesn't automatically become stupid just because he is known as an odd comedy character.
Not even the character Mr. Bean qualifies as "stupid" - he is actually very clever in a lot of his scenes, and tends to outsmart other people very often.
Same
Smart people in real life : pretends to be stupid in movies
Me in real life : already stupid and pretends to be more stupid :(
ellow maboiii k stopid
@@jamiecarter3715 well good on you big boy 😊
@@MurIocMage the fact that you insulted me with a word that you couldn't spell right says it all 😪
@DrZook thank you sir
@ellow maboiii ok boomer noob
NOBODY had a thought of mentioning Hedy Lamarr, with her invention of radar technology gave us the way to what is now known as Wi-Fi & Bluetooth technology? Hmmm!!
true.. she should be number one
An actor?
I expected Hedy also what a true miss she was so smart billions and billions lost when the military took over after her patent ran out she didn't extend it and thank god she did that . look her up please!
@Sara Ierace, that is a very good point. They even did a segment about her on the television show _Dark Matters: Twisted But True._
Possibly one of the most intelligent people who has ever lived, she was as intelligent as anyone of her time, and she was contemporary with Albert Einstein.
Dolph Lundgren once appeared on Bill Maher's "Politically Incorrect" when guitarist Slash was also a guest panelist. Lundgren was wowing everyone with his intelligent, thoughtful comments, but what was most impressive was when Slash (who appeared to have been fairly smashed) was trying to contribute to the discussion. Maher and the other guests seemed greatly amused by Slash's incoherence, but Lundgren treated him with kindness and respect, helping him to flesh out his comments.
That was kind of him. It's in those moments you really know what kind of person someone is. How they treat others in their vulnerable moments is very telling.
@Robert Bates Well said! Dolph Lundgren represents one of those actors in Hollywood who has *not* allowed fame, recognition, publicity, $$$ and success getting to their heads. I remember reading he had a Black Belt in something, which means he is also very disciplined and explains his cool, down-to-earth and respectful behaviour towards others.
To this day he can still be counted upon to deliver supporting portrayals in films like Creed 2 and Aquaman
@@dvchel What happened to Steven Seagal.
what a lovely guy! but I think thhats usual by swedes!
Every member of Queen is actually very intelligent if you look into it, and it shows in their music.
skylark belle yes thank you!!
That’s right I remember something about one or all being educated in some school for the arts? I’ll have to look it up but I know there’s an “art”. On e going (aside from music)
Yes. John Deacon was an electrical engineer who designed and built an amplifier used by Queen throughout their career, Roger Taylor qualified as a Dentist and Freddie graduated in Design and Fine Arts
@@sydlemon5285 in actual fact Roger dropped dental school but has a BSC in Biology and F,reddie may Allah bless him never got a degree, in his own words he "failed at everything" except giving many people great joy with his music
Absolutely. "All I wanna do is BICYCLE BICYCLE BICYCLE" xD
I have a masters and Phd. My IQ has been tested at 134 multiple times. I don't feel smart because I'm not super creative. Anyone with average intelligence, and an ability to get stuff done, can out perform the smartest in life. I have an "off the charts" intelligent friend who gave me his definition of intelligence. I believe there aren't many exceptions. "The ability to recognize truth, and accept it."
Good point👍
u can b considered very intelligent, us creative dummies r idiots who cant ssolve the simplest problems!
Well, Brian May does kinda look like Isaac Newton so
I guess you could say he was "Star Struck"
SSH Gaming
It is Sir Isaac Newton NOT Issac Newton
Learn to check your facts and spelling, otherwise, you will appear to be
an uneducated fool.
It was also Issac Newton who first discovered forged insertions in the Bible, typographical fraud, and errors.
In the eleventh and twelfth centuries, the Bibles were corrected by
LanFrank, Archbishop of Canterbury, and by Nicholas, a cardinal and librarian of the Roman church, secundum Ortodoxam fidem. KJV being the least reliable and most corrupt.
Suggested reading for you : “Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire,”
@@andrew_koala2974 ok I'll change and thanks for all the facts too , i don't know why that's important
@@lightweight2467 Well, it's interesting to see a correlation between the actor/actress, their intelligence and the role they play. So, Lisa Kudrow, Conan O'Brien, Rowan Atkinson and John Cleese etc. are all known for their comedic roles. And I remember reading somewhere that you have to be really smart to play someone incredibly stupid.
Where's Emma Watson?!
She's a feminist, so she is stupid.
+radunicorn larry
Good observation, she's still stupid.
+Maggie Tutu
Queen of the Feminazis.
With me in bad
ikr!
Rowan Atkinson is a genius. Only a highly intelligent person can make a fool out of themselves perfectly.
U sure baut dat buddy
Mr. Bean is a pretty accurate characterization of electrical engineers in general; they operate on a completely different frequency than most folks. The ones I know are quiet, shy, generally inept unless building things is involved, flat in affect, socially maladjusted, odd, quirky and generally quite brilliant at whatever discipline catches their fancy--unless it's athletics, dancing in clubs, or anything involving the opposite sex.
John Otis: My husband is an electronics engineer, too. If I hadn't had the courage to admit to him that I was in love with him, I guess he'd still be a virgin!
@@solidstate9451 It's nice to know that there are women out there who can give these types the companionship and affection they deserve. They can do great things under the influence and nurturing powers of a good, kind, and patient woman.
John Otis: He is a great husband. Loving, caring, patient. In the 12 years of our marriage he never even shouted at me. I'm better off with him than with any other guy I ever met. I pity every woman who isn't smart enough to realize how great nerds are as hubands.
Watchmojo: if you speak English fluently you're smart
EMINEM: OH!
You guys missed the late Sir Christopher Lee!
He was a total badass for real
@@leighahamilton8574 So was William Smith, the father in the first Conan the Barbarian movie, guy was a genius and a badass, worked for the CIA for a time and was a bareknuckle boxer among other things before (and even during his early) acting career.
Just because an American or Englishman speaks a language other than English doesn’t make them intelligent
Yes! I speak 3 and it's NORMAL here to speak 3. Only speaking 5 and up is considered wow.
Ironically the multi-lingual American won’t be able to spell English words ...
Ya quite true I speak 5
Unless you can talk like 9 or 10 languages thats beyond normal and its fair to call him a genius
@@chadurot1773 Ya whoever can speak up to that many languages then he or she is a real genius person.

Dexter Holland, Lead Singer of The Offspring. In 2017 he attained a PhD in molecular biology.
anybody can finish school...main question is "what you gonna do with your ph.d"?
@@quazar912 anyone can finish "school" but not everyone can doctorate in molecular biology. You asshat
@@quazar912 Brian May did practically nothing with his Ph.D. and went on to be a successful musician. What's your point? It still takes years of study, and tests in order to obtain these degrees.
I think this video should definately be dubbed ”most academic celebrities” instead of smartest. But unfortunately that probably wouldnt get them any views
I was thinking the same thing
Should be educated celebrities.
lygophile excuse me?
maybe could bout cellebs w highest iq´s instead!
And there wouldn't be any women
Tom Scholz of the band Boston: MIT engineering masters degree, Polaroid design engineer, designed his own recording equipment, started company to build and manufacture consumer versions of his gear. James Williamson guitarist with the Stooges and Iggy Pop - electrical engineer for AMD, VP of technical standards at Sony, helped codify Blu-Ray standard.
Tom is an amazing musician, he can play the guitar and the organ at the same time, and hes a genius!
Steve Cropper, the Stax/volt label in-house guitarist and member of Booker T and the MGs has an advanced engineering degree from (I think) MIT. Jeff "Skunk" Baxter of Steely Dan and Doobie Brothers fame also has advanced degrees and was once considered to be the Leading expert in SDI technology. Black Frances and Joey Santiago of The Pixies met at MIT. Math related endeavors and a gift for music seem to go hand in hand.
I really really missed Stephen Fry on this list. The man is clever, empathic, witty, interested in anything (and knowledgeable as well), wonderfully well-spoken and able to continuously self-reflect on his own points of view and correct them based on arguments. Same goes for Eddie Izzard by the way :)
Couldn't agree more, a true intellectual who offers much more than individual academic achievement.
I truly adore Audrey Hepburn. The only woman that comes close to her is Natalie Portman. Same grace, elegance and beauty.
Nah you can't put Portman near Audrey, have her spend her days in Africa and being under an abusive husband unlike living your day in a L.A mansion then tell me the otherwise
"How did you become a moviestar?"
Dolph Lundgren: "It was accidental..."
Natalie Portman is fucking beautiful and also intelligent. She is my dream woman. Also heard James Woods has a massive....
A massive what........?
A) IQ
B) Bank account
C)Whart on the end of his massive dick
+Jonto Dickens Lol. C) is spot on
+avarmauk
You do realize she is only 5"3 (160cm) tall and weighs less than 50kg? I don't know about you, but if i were to have passionate, powerful, rough sex with her, she'd probably end up in hospital....

Natalie Portman is fluent in Hebrew because she's Israeli and was raised speaking & reading Hebrew.
Elaine8492 She is fluent in spanish too.
And English
Well this is a list made by americans so if you are born and raised anywhere else you are pretty much borderline genius.

Brian May also built his own guitar with his father when he was 15.
Which is made even more impressive when you realize that guitar is the Red Special, aka his mainstay instrument for most of his career. Respect.
OMFG!
Thank's to this vid, I liked that guy but not more to freddie mercury cause i like them both.
Eddie Van Halen also built his own guitars and he's an idiot.
yeah. Great guitarist and smart person :D
They've missed Stephen Fry.... For sure challenging for number 1 spot.
Having seen Brian May in concert and giving a speech on his astrophysics work during a single event, I agree with your first pick!
Who came here bc of mr bean on the thumbnail?😂👌

No.
Obese Crustaceans ok.

Roger Taylor and John Deacon of Queen, John Deacon graduated King's College with a 1st Class Honour Degree in Engineering (he also invented the Deacy Amp). Roger Taylor has degree in Biology and according to Dr. Brian May he's one of the smartest individuals he knows. And Brian May hangs out with a lot of high intellectuals
Brian May is the reincarnation of Sir Isaac Newton, you can see it on his hair...
Hedy Lamarr - She starred in 30 movies as well as co-inventing frequency-hopping spread spectrum technology, during WWII. It was invented to prevent allied torpedoes from being jammed by the enemy, but is now used for things like Bluetooth. She also helped improve aviation designs for Howard Hughes while they dated during the war.
Since she was an inventor, she definitely tops the list of all-time. Plus she was a hot sex symbol on-screen like Sharon stone. Btw Stone is also smart but not a genius.
Well, Brian May, ladies and gents, rock legend and astrophysics phd
The most powerful title you can get
Yea, Dexter Holland front man from The Offspring, of all people, has a phd in molecular biology too :P
yess
Greatest guitarist
Sean Andrews ppl
Stephen Fry, Hugh Laurie and a vast majority of UK comics
You forgot Danica McKeller...best known as Winnie Cooper. Math genius
Linseth: agreed!
I was waiting for her to show up as well! Kinda disappointed she didn't
Nice list. Neal Peart from Rush, was a great mind. He passed in January.
Brian May: PhD in Astrophysics, Science team collaborator at NASA, has asteroid named after him, CBE, same hairstyle for almost 50 years, wrote some epic songs and lead guitarist in Queen.
Me: My Bachelor's in History means less than jack squat.
"same hairstyle"? OK...
Me: manager. feeling the same way. Solace: the higher the education, the more kind people get
That's just the way his hair is naturally, very thick and curly. If he'd wanted it any different he'd have had to have had it straightened.
But still stupid to believe that it all started with a big bang
What about the other Brian ? Professor Brian Cox that is..... He was also a Rock Star at one stage.
Finally! It's good to see Brian May get some credit for all the amazing stuff he did on all of his life, besides being the freaking lead guitarist of Queen since the formation of the band (which that alone it's simply amazing, and he is known to be one of the best and most unique of all time!) That guy's life story it's just amazing, you guys should look into it, it's really interesting!
Really interesting and informative. I had no clue about several that made this list.
*I would be interested to see more of these, a top 20 or 25.*
*It is ever so important for the "younger audiences" to realize their potentials and "those over 40 to realize they always have Potentials".*
Bravo! 🏆
I'm Vietnamese and I speak Vietnamese, English, Italian, Dutch, French and I'm learning Spanish and Chinese. Am I one of the smarties people for your standard? 😉 There are many people who can speak several languages in this world. Speaking many languages doesn't always mean that you are smart.
Polyglots have an amazing skill but you are right
Can I have your fb link? Polyglots I know often tend to be very interesting people 🙄
Weird Al Yankovic is known for having a very sharp mind and high IQ. He graduated high school at 16 and was valedictorian. Plus there has to be something very special going on in the mind of a man who's been able to make parodies of pop culture for nearly 40 years.
He's also a medical doctor
What, no Kanye West? He's a lyrical genius and a gay fish. Lol.
I like this list, but you forgot a lot of people, including one of my favorites, Tom Hiddleston. He went to University of Cambridge, speaks at least 3 languages, knows sign language, and has basically memorized Shakespeare. He's pretty smart
I don't believe he knows sign language. I saw a video of someone coaching him to do BSL. I don't remember if he was wishing someone a happy birthday or something like that.
Surprised Hugh Laurie or Stephen Fry weren't at least honourable mentions.
Probably because Fry actually became somewhat of a celebrity due to his academic achievements.
Audrey Hepburn spoke 5 languages.
This is focusing on the living
Belle...they are only considering our contemporaries- can't possibly include everyone, unfortunately!
You missed Bruce Dickinson, who besides of being Iron Maiden's lead singer is also a Commercial Pilot, a fencing olympic medalist, has an History degree and a honorary music doctorate, so we can say he is smart.
yaaas bruce rules!!
And the man still has his voice!!! 😎😈
No.
dont forget Nicko McBrain and Janick Gers ;)
And he has a fever...for more cowbell!
Conan putting Jennifer Garner in her place (by use of the dictionary)was a masterful move.
it was jenny who humiliated o´brien!
I'd say John Deacon is the smartest member of Queen. He was a genius in electronics (with a honors degree in Electrical engineering) in the early years besides taking charge of the equipment he also managed perfectly the business and finances of the band.
Notice how these people are less famous than Kim Kardashian........
+William Boyle Sadly yes
who?
who is she?
William Boyle is that even a question?
William Boyle Kim is still the same piece of shit she's always been and now because she got robbed in Paris she's "On the down low" which is probably just another publicity stunt .
I think WatchMojo is confusing education with actual intelligence
yes

+Mason Wedel - "afermative action" yeah keep telling yourself THAT'S why you didn't get in, I'm sure your mom told you that you were "special" too
Conan it's another level, he genius and know how to use it properly
Dolph Lundgren as handsome as always and Brian May not only a super rock star but an accomplished astrophysicist. LOVE THEM!!!
Thanks for watching 😊.. So tell me, how long have you been my fan..?
David Duchovny earned a A.B. in English literature from Princeton University, and an M.A. in English literature from Yale University, and has since published three books, Holy Cow: A Modern-Day Dairy Tale in 2015, Bucky F*cking Dent in 2016 and Miss Subways in 2018.
Thanks for watching 😊.. So tell me, how long have you been my fan..?
That's why I always mistaken Isaac Newton to Brian May, there's a reason.
When I saw that part where a Newton hairstyle guy was giving a speech in front of a big English university.
I though he was the rector of Oxford. And also though "are these crazy british people again trying too hard be interesting by imitating Newton".
they left out another python. Terry Jones was a professor at cambridge, and one of the world's top experts on Chaucer
And Graham Chapman was a medical doctor
Great list. I dont know if these are missed really, but they are ones I like to know for some reason:
Christy Turlington has a Masters in Public Health from Columbia. Addition to the women on your list I like to encourage my daughter, who is a very talented dancer but also has a good mind for science, with Christy and the women on your list.
My personal favorite not on your list is Robocop. Peter Weller has a Masters in Roman and Renaissance Art from Syracuse. Love seeing him on some of rhe History channel shows.
And, showing my age a bit, William Smith. I dont know how many will remember him, but he was a great baddie in a lot of shows in the 70s and 80s. His most definitive role to me is in Red Dawn (1984) playing the Russian head hunter brought in to finally deal with the Wolverines. He spoke fluent Russian in the film.
Turns out William Smith speaks at least 5 languages (including Russian), has has a Masters Degree in Russian Studies from UCLA where he taduated Cum Laude and was an instructor. He had NSA and CIA clearance when recruited by them during his time in the Air Force.
He has black belts in Kung Fu and Kenpo. He is a 2x world arm wrestling champion and he could arm curl his own body weight.
And was a volunteer fireman...
I mean, like... is that all?? Jeez Bill, lazy bum...
Educated doesn't always mean smart. This should be called most educated celebs.
right? just because you went to some hoity-toity school doesn't mean you're exceptionally mentally gifted.
good point.
You can be exceptionally clever and choose not to go to uni or you may just hate studying in general but let's face it, you don't get into Oxford if you're not smart.
or Harvard
getting accepted in university is not easy for every major
you have to take at least 2 tests and get high grades to get accepted in graduate school
I love Brian May ❤️🎸
Me too
Same
Brian May could also have been one of the most down to earth celebrities, he is so nice and kind. I've met him 2 times while my sister worked on We Will Rock you in London, such a nice , never forgetting the people who work behind the stage. Same with Whoppie Goldberg, also super nice , and not forgetting the staff that make it easy to shine :)
Dolph is the total package. Brilliant, handsome, incredibly kind, world class athlete, humble. I'd love to play a round of mini-golf with that guy.
"advanced degrees, honors, theses, SAT scores, speaking multiple languages, and IQ scores of 180 don't make you intelligent... i'm an average loser watching youtube videos all day and i'm intelligent too" -people in the comments
+Kat B spot on!
but nobody has an iq above 165
+Angelo Dato They do on the internet...
+Kat B I could measure their intelligence by ask them play to play chess with Judit Polgar. These IQ tests are not really reliable.
+Kat B i wouldn't say i'm smart but i have been tested and i had an average IQ of 130.
Most people will have forgotten the name, Hedy Lamarr, but this gorgeous Austrian actress is credited with creating an undetected frequency for radio-controlled torpedoes in WWII which was later used for the Cell Phones you and I use on a daily basis, she was inducted into the National Inventors Hall Of Fame posthumously in 2014, she was a fantastic human being.
I actually know of this actress. I also heard that she created the early blueprint of what we call bluetooth but they did not take her seriously because of her looks and occupation. She had a love for mathematics because of her father and went on to create more inventions.
I didn't know this, Thank You! Rock on Hedy.
I saw this is Nat Geo. Glad someone did point this out
i saw this on the tv show legends of tomorrow lol honestly and people say comic book programs make u thick hahaha
It isn't so much that it was undetectable so much as it was spread-spectrum/frequency skipping. Still, it was way ahead of its time. Ms. Lamarr was never truly given the credit she was due.
Don’t be afraid of your fears. They’re not there to scare you. They’re there to let you know that something is worth it.
1:26 I would expect someone born in Jerusalem to speak the language of the country she’s born in
Cool to see Brian May at number 1! Still im kinda annoyed even though Rowan Atkinson was on here they mention Mr Bean and Johnny English but not his most popular role as Blackadder.
Mister Tago Mago Totaly agree. Black Adder was brilliant. I guess they didn't get that on American TV.
I liked his performances on the thin blue line too
Actually we did, and long before we got Mr. Bean.
PBS (Channel 2) use to switch to BBC very late at night and stay BBC until morning, so that's where I got to see some Blackadder, but over here in the US I think everybody heard about Mr. Bean, not many know about his other performances.
Henry Rollins Yes!!
Rename title, "top ten most educated celebrities"
If James Woods' IQ is in the 180s, then he is the smartest person on this list. Do you have any idea how rare that is???
*Rowan Atkinson The ultimate Smart Legend I mean Electrical Engineer? He must be sooooi smart*
Old brian may looks like issac newton

Surprised Bruce Lee didn't get a mention. He's known for his fighting but away from that, he was a philosopher and studied it at college/university along with poetry. He published martial arts books based on his philosophy and created his own martial art style which has become known today as MMA. That's pretty smart if you ask me.
I guess there are diffrent types of smart.
Leonardo Da Vinci, most famous for art but pretty clever too.

Portman is fluent in hebreu because she is from Israel, saying that she is clever because of that is like saying a Japanese man/woman is smart because he/she writes with more than 200 symbols.
Dante Leão *facepalm
Dante Leão but she studied at HARVARD!!!
I'm not saying she isn't smart, inteligent or otherwise, but pointing out that one of the things that makes her smart is being fluent in hebreu is redundant, she knows Hebreu because of where she comes from and because her family is jewish, to say that she is smart because of that is like to say that I'm smart because I speak portuguese, but the only reason I know portuguese is because I am Brasillian.
MariPlaysVideoGames didn't get that facepalm of yours.
I know she is smart, but to list her speaking and writing hebreu one of the things that make her smart is dumb, that's the point, if an american-born citizen speaks english he/she/it is not necessarily smart, he/she/it is just another avarage joe.
Weird Al Yankovic deserves an honorable mention.
He began school a year early, skipped 2nd grade and graduated Valedictorian at 16 then earned a degree in architecture.
Like many on the list, it takes genius to be that goofy.
If only he was funny.
Yeah, weird al is super smart, hes one of my favorite artists!
His degree in architecture didn't help him in building a barn in Amish paradise tho did it? 😂
I cannot wait to see his movie premiere on The Roku Channel next month! Would really love to know more about him than just his parodies.
Huey Lewis should have been mentioned
He skipped second grade and got a perfect score in the maths sat
High school Troll ye i thought hed be on here
If you guys release another video in regards to this subject, be sure to include Robert Forester. The man, the myth, the legend.
the most underrated actor? DOLPH LUNDGREN
Chuck Norris discovered all the Elements in the Periodic Table
So glad many of these people also have a sense of humor. Nothing better than that!
that pun in the end was awesome...haha
Danica McKellar who played Winnie Cooper on "The Wonder Years" graduated UCLA, Summa Cum Laude with a degree in Mathematics and has written several books, especially directed toward girls, to empower them toward loving math and believing tha they can do it.
Id rather have a lot of $$$ than to be some braniac living on the street
I was going to bring her up too! Danica is awesome!
totally forgot about her I actually read one of her books that helped me with math n teaching my son
postersandstuff- because of people who think like you is the reason why satan is willing to make a deal. Just like the entrainment industry, they're a bunch of witches and satanist, practicing the kabalah and Crowley's filthy satanist teachings.

Quoting Albert Einstein does not make you smart, either.

Greg Graffin of American punk band, Bad Religion obtained both his bachelor's (BoA in biology and BoS in geology) and master's at UCLA. He also has a PhD in Zoology from Cornell University. He's also taught classes at both UCLA and Cornell. He's had a newly discovered species of extinct bird named after him in honor of his contributions to evolutionary biology.

MIT is actually in Cambridge across the Charles River from Boston.
