Often stories are told of how famous people skipped classes and dropped out of school in childhood, and then, thanks to other talents, became stars of cinema, music and even science. Because of this, a myth has already developed that schools and universities only ruin talents, and in order to be successful, you need to follow a different path.
However, among the celebrities there are many excellent students and diligent students. Perhaps it was their study that developed in them the qualities that are necessary for a successful career.
Foreign excellent students
The beautiful Natalie Portman was labeled a botanist at school. Despite the fact that the girl received acting fame at a very young age, this did not affect her studies in any way. She managed to successfully combine education and shooting in blockbusters. She even skipped the Star Wars premiere in order to prepare for her exams. The actress herself admits that if she had a choice between a film career and new knowledge, she would have abandoned the shooting without hesitation. In her studies, she achieved great results - she graduated from the Faculty of Psychology at Harvard and studied five foreign languages.
Jodie Foster also boasts knowledge of languages - she is fluent in French, as well as Italian, Spanish and German. She is a Foster literary scholar, and she received an honors degree from the prestigious Yale University.
An exemplary student and student can be called David Duchovny. After successful studies at school, he went further - he entered the Faculty of Pedagogy at Princeton University, became a master's degree, and then a graduate student.
Russian excellent students
The most diligent student on the Russian stage is Philip Kirkorov. From school, he brought not only a gold medal, but also a whole armful of certificates of honor. Teachers remember him as an obedient and diligent student, as well as a party activist and a successful political informer. Philip took on everything wherever he could prove himself - he was a member of the school's Komsomol committee, participated in all kinds of creative competitions and olympiads.
Nikolai Baskov did not lag behind his future colleague. He graduated with honors from school, where he studied music and choreography in depth. Needless to say, the knowledge gained there became the foundation on which the singer built his career.
Svetlana Alliluyeva was the pride of her powerful father and brought home only fives. The reason was not that the teachers did not dare to upset Joseph Stalin. Svetlana's classmates note that she was the quietest and most diligent student in the class - knowledge really interested her more than communication with peers and children's pranks.
