Bill Gates once said “Be nice to nerds. Chances are you’ll end up working for one.” While celebrities aren’t considered bosses, they sure command our attention. Cracked compiled a list of over half a dozen Hollywood icons that grew up nerds (and remain to be, as far as we’re concerned).

Leading the pack is everyone’s favorite Star Wars Queen, Natalie Portman. This girl makes me look like a runner-up to some 3rd grade spelling bee. So what makes her such a geek? For starters, she passed up The Phantom Menace premiere to study for exams. Other notable traits of nerdiness: She has studied 4 languages, and been published twice (in scientific journals no less).

She’s a nerd, and she kicks ass doing it.

Who else is on the list, you ask? Well another favorite uttered these famous words: “I must break you…” He played Drago in arguably one of Sylvester Stallone’s most famous movies of all time. The name is Dolph Lundgren, and he’s a lifetime geek.

The proof speaks for itself: The guy speaks five languages, has a masters in chemical engineering, an holds an IQ of 160. I suspect his muscles contain gray matter too.

That’s only two, so check out the rest of the article for more celebrity nerds right here.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
