Oftentimes we overlook the accomplishments many celebrities have achieved in the arena of education. While we praise them for their impressive acting skills, we should also be hailing their scholastic feats. Some of them boast of college degrees that many other people have not succeeded to attain. Can you guess which Monty Python star nearly became a lawyer, or what Chris Martin specialized in? Read on to find out.
Brian May: Ph.D. In Astrophysics
Brian May of Queen finished his Bachelor of Science in Physics in the ‘70s. If that’s not impressive enough, we will have you know that he graduated with honors! In 2007, he came back to school to finish a Ph.D. in Astrophysics from Imperial College London. His thesis was about the motions of interplanetary dust. Pretty hardcore, if you ask us!
Ken Jeong: Doctor Of Medicine
Who would have thought that funny guy Ken Jeong is a medical doctor? That’s right – this is the same person who jumped out of the trunk in The Hangover without any clothes on whatsoever. In 1995, he earned his M.D. from the School of Medicine at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. However, the actor no longer practices medicine. He is busy with acting these days, and we’re happy to hear it.
