The smartest stars in Hollywood

They are famous, successful in Hollywood and in some cases gifted. Geniuses in front of and behind the camera who are surprising for being part of that 2% of the population considered intellectually above average, with an intelligence quotient (IQ) that is above normal.

If, in general, an IQ of 100 and 115 is considered to correspond to average intelligence, here is a list of celebrities that exceed 120 points.

With an IQ of 180, James Wood can boast of being one of the ten most intelligent men on earth, although it was not for that reason that he rose to fame but rather because of his facet as a Hollywood actor thanks to his spectacular performances in ‘ Casino’, ‘Nixon’ and ‘Chaplin’.

With the same IQ as Albert Einstein, 160, Quentin Tarantino is a walking film and music encyclopedia, director of true gems of the seventh art such as ‘Pulp Fiction’, ‘Kill Bill’ or ‘Inglorious Basterds’.

Intelligence and beauty is the perfect formula for success that has led Natalie Portman, IQ 150, to succeed both at Harvard, where she graduated in Psychology, and at the Film Academy, where she was awarded an Oscar for Best Actress in 2011. for his performance in ‘Black Swan’.

Before becoming ‘Gobernator’, before becoming the last action hero of the 80s, even before winning 5 times Mr. Universe and 7 Mr. Olympias, Arnold Schwarzenegger was a brain with very clear ideas and an IQ of 135. A friend from his youth tells that he only had three purposes in life: to be an actor, to live in America and to marry a Kennedy. Finally, another beautiful and smart woman, coefficient 132, is the Australian Nicole Kidman, a Hollywood star as well as an accomplished pianist. She acts, writes short stories and, despite being left-handed from birth, for the filming of ‘Las horas’ she learned to write with her right hand.
