Of course, among celebrities-losers, not all were hooligans - some owe their "success" to impenetrable laziness. For example, he was terribly lazy. He skipped classes and studied so poorly that his mother, tired of teachers' constant claims against her son, at the age of 15 allowed him to leave school on one condition - to find a job in return. The grades of the quitter Charlie Sheen were so terrible that he was expelled for poor academic performance from his senior year. But Jim Carrey was a loser not at all because of a lack of diligence. He just showed enough diligence and was in good standing in the class - until his parents had difficult times and he had to get a job as a janitor in a factory to help feed his family. But after working eight hours at the factory (after lessons at school), he was so tired that no science fit in his head. Jim spent three years in 10th grade before giving up. He realized that he would not be able to overcome school wisdom in such conditions.

From a young age, we hear that you need to study well in order to take a place under the sun. However, if one study is given easily, others hardly comprehend the sciences. Does poor academic performance always guarantee failure in a future career? Interestingly, many celebrities studied at school for "deuces".

Alla Pugacheva at school was easily given drawing, work, mathematics and music lessons. The future prima donna played the piano with pleasure. In chemistry, algebra and a foreign language, Alla had triples. In addition, the singer did not like physical education.

Despite the fact that not all subjects were given to Pugacheva successfully, she was an activist. The girl published wall newspapers, participated in school events. The singer's classmates recall how, 10 years after graduation, she came to the reunion of graduates, already being popular, and told interesting stories about overseas travel.

Mikhail Derzhavin

Mikhail Derzhavin was a loser at school. In some subjects, he did not receive certification. When his father died, Mikhail had to go to evening classes to work and help his family. The Derzhavin family lived in the house where the Shchukin school was located. Therefore, the boy often talked with famous actors, arranged theatrical performances and ballroom evenings with friends.

Maria Aronova

Maria Aronova was not given the exact sciences at school, but she loved the Russian language and literature. The girl took part in children's matinees and performances, arranged concerts for neighbors. Her father did not approve of this. He believed that Mary exposes herself to ridicule.

However, Aronova liked singing and dancing so much that she did not want to listen to anyone. After school, the future actress went to work in the House of Culture of the city of Dolgoprudny, and then successfully passed the exams at the Shchukin School.

One was kept by the teachers, the other guys gave the headman. When the teachers found out about everything, Basharov was almost expelled from school.

Marat Basharov

In high school, he firmly decided to improve - after all, his parents dreamed that his son would graduate from the university. To catch up in subjects, it was necessary to visit a tutor. Marat got up at 5 in the morning and went to the dining room, where he washed the floors. He spent the money he earned on additional classes.

Nikita Mikhalkov

Nikita Mikhalkov was an excellent student until the 4th grade. Later, his parents gave him to educational institution with a mathematical twist. After some time, it turned out that the boy could not cope with the tasks and could not solve a single problem. Then Nikita was transferred to a regular high school.

But Mikhalkov from an early age showed the ability to music and drawing. He attended a theater studio, dreamed of becoming an artist.

A passion for filming helped Steven to escape from problems. Spielberg made short films. The main roles were played by the boy's relatives, and for special effects he used crackers and cherry juice.

Steven Spielberg

Drew Barrymore

Psychologists have long noticed that successful people often come not from excellent students and good boys, but from C grade students and hooligans. Bright, creative personalities are often rebellious from childhood.

Such was, for example, Marlon Brando. The son of a traveling salesman, despised by his classmates, tried to gain authority among his peers with his extravagant antics. One of them - when Marlon rode a motorcycle through the corridors of the alma mater - cost him expulsion from school. Brando subsequently did not bother to complete his secondary education, which, however, did not prevent him from becoming a great actor.

Gerard Depardieu - he was a juvenile delinquent at all. At the age of 12, he dropped out of school, going to travel around Europe on the money received from the sale of stolen cars and the trade in contraband goods. Of course, he never returned to school. Kevin Spacey also had a stormy childhood: he dropped out of school with a military bias for severely beating a classmate.

Al Pacino, a first-class athlete and school bully, spent so much time on the baseball field that he had no time to go to lessons, let alone teach anything. By the age of 17, he realized that he was just wasting his time at school. He had to start his brilliant acting career in the future with the work of a courier and dishwasher. And another negligent student - Jean-Paul Belmondo - left school at the age of 16 for the sake of a boxing career, which, however, lasted only two years.

Of course, among celebrities-losers, not all were hooligans - some owe their "success" to impenetrable laziness. For example, Quentin Tarantino was terribly lazy. He skipped classes and studied so poorly that his mother, tired of teachers' constant claims against her son, at the age of 15 allowed him to leave school on one condition - to find a job in return.

But Jim Carrey was a loser, not at all because of a lack of diligence. He just showed enough diligence and was in good standing in the class - until his parents had difficult times and he had to get a job as a janitor in a factory to help feed his family. But after working eight hours at the factory (after lessons at school), he was so tired that no science fit in his head. Jim spent three years in 10th grade before giving up. He realized that he would not be able to overcome school wisdom in such conditions.

Not from a good life, Demi Moore left school at the age of 16. She had no choice - her divorced alcoholic mother could not properly take care of her daughter. And Demi began her career as a collector - collecting money from debtors.

Nicole Kidman also had to leave school against her will. Her mother fell ill with cancer, and the girl decided: now is not the time to study, you need to take care of yourself. close person. Yes, she never returned to school ... And the sex symbol of all time, Marilyn Monroe, decided at the age of 16 to marry a worker James Doherty in order to escape from another foster family and become independent. Marilyn achieved her goals, but did not complete her school education.

Some celebrities stopped their studies not because of family problems or poverty. Children are sometimes very cruel to those who are somehow different from them. This had to be experienced by Winona Ryder, who was beaten at school for being the daughter of free-thinking hippies, and even dressing like a boy. In the 7th grade, her head was smashed so that she could hardly get home. Of course, the school was over.

Could not stand the constant bullying of herself and Kate Winslet. Fat Kate (she was very plump at that time) could not come to terms with the fact that she was called at school not by her first name, but by the offensive nickname Bubble. The proud Pierce Brosnan could not stand the ridicule either - the snobs treated him at school as a "dirty Irishman". He left the offenders, but remained without a certificate.

There are a lot of dropout celebrities among those who have been diagnosed with dyslexia. The inability to read quickly and assimilate any significant amount of information has long been considered a sign of a narrow mind. But it turned out that the IQ has nothing to do with it. For example, director Guy Ritchie had excellent IQ test scores, but he couldn't learn. Unable to withstand the constant ridicule, Guy dropped out of school, still not knowing what, in fact, his problem was. Doctors made an unpleasant diagnosis only when he was already an adult.

Tom cruise, unlike Richie, knew that he was suffering from dyslexia from the age of seven. He fought for a long time - he changed 15 schools, but in the end he gave up school, deciding to become a priest. A clergyman for the same reason did not come out of him. But dyslexia did not prevent Tom from becoming a star of the first magnitude. The disease did not become an obstacle in the career of Keanu Reeves, although he also dropped out of school because of this.

Orlando Bloom did not receive a diploma, although his relatives tried to support him as best they could. “If you read at least five dozen books in your life, I will give you a motorcycle,” Orlando's mother tried to motivate her son to read. But Bloom did not master even a smaller number of volumes. He left school without earning the Harley promised by his mother.

Unable to complete secondary education and Oscar winner Anthony Hopkins - at the time when he studied, dyslexia had not yet been heard. He was simply considered a dumb guy who had the only talent - he played the piano well.

But, of course, most celebrities dropped out of school not because of illness or poverty, but simply because they did not want to wait. Aspiring stars were not going to waste time studying, judging that it was better to spend precious years finding their way. Among such Julia Roberts, Drew Barrymore, Jude Law, Russell Crowe and others - no longer wanted to return to their peers at their desks.

But will they not regret one day that they have not comprehended school wisdom? Who knows, after all, for some reason it was necessary for the quite successful singer Beyoncé Knowles and actor Mark Wahlberg, already adults, to bother about obtaining a certificate. As a result, Beyoncé decided to prepare for the exam on her own and take it externally, while Wahlberg chose to study online.

Ideally, the stars should be the most intelligent and talented people on the planet who studied a lot, learned life, worked hard and as a result reached the top of Olympus, as an example to everyone else. In reality, only a few, like Sharon Stone, can boast an IQ of 154 and a college degree. What's more, some stars not only didn't get a master's degree, but even failed to graduate from high school. At the present time, for most young and ambitious stars, school is just an obstacle on the way to their quick glory. And they do not think about the fact that in due time the gaps in education will still have to be filled.

I propose to meet the stars who failed to finish school.

Gerard Depardieu

One of the most famous and scandalous actors in France had a sultry character as a child. He not only stole cars with friends and resold them to earn money, but also sold contraband goods. In order to go on tour in Europe, Depardieu left school when he was only 12 years old. Nowhere else is there evidence that the actor returned to any educational institution in the future. It is possible that the famous actor still does not know how to write correctly.

Al Pacino

Al Pacino, keeping up with his French counterpart, was also spoiled by the street and excessive free. Since childhood, he dreamed of becoming an athlete and played on the baseball team for a long time. But then, at the age of 17, Pacino dropped out of school, without finishing just a little, and went to earn money. Before his breakthrough in Hollywood, the future actor worked not only as an office courier and washed dishes in bars, but also swept floors. To study, except for the acting school, he never returned.

Nicole Kidman

The Australian actress studied at her home in Sydney at a school for girls. There she studied not only standard school subjects, but also studied singing and choreography. Nicole studied very well and could have graduated with honors. She was forced to leave school by her mother's illness, for whom, except for her daughter, there was no one to look after. The future star never returned to school.

Kate Winslet

The actress, best known for her role as Rose in Titanic, has been overweight since childhood. She was pushed to leave school by her classmates, who bullied her all the time, calling her the offensive nickname Bubble. The girl did not return to school, but this terrible period tempered the character of the actress so much that she managed to achieve great success. Now malicious classmates can look enviously at the slender and successful Kate on their TV screens.

Angelina Jolie

It's hard to believe that the sexiest woman on the planet, as a child, classmates considered scary and called Scarecrow. IN school years Jolie was very thin, while tall and wore braces on her teeth. The future actress was either bullied every day, or did not notice her presence at all. Because of this, the girl was depressed all the time, felt unnecessary and ugly. Because of constant stress, Jolie dropped out of school and never returned to school.

Pierce Brosnan

It is hard to believe that the performer of the role of the main spy of the world, James Bond, also dropped out of school. Irish by birth, Brosnan moved to London when he was 11 years old. Classmates began to mock the boy because of his pronunciation and called him "dirty Irish". After surviving for five years, Brosnan ran away from school at 16 and joined a traveling circus. Before his acting career, he worked for some time in the modeling business, but never returned to education.

Johnny Depp

Johnny Depp early childhood dreamed of becoming a rock musician, to which he devoted all his time, often forgetting about school education. Due to the rehearsals of his group, Depp missed classes, did not homework, for which he constantly received bad grades. In the end, at the age of 15, he was forced to leave school. Instead of higher education, Johnny graduated from acting classes, and now earns $ 50 million a year.

Quentin Tarantino

Hollywood's most extraordinary director, Quentin Tarantino, was a truly inveterate loser. The reason for his failure was his own laziness. Quentin was so uninterested in the classroom and generally incomprehensible to the purpose of education at school that he dropped it. Quentin's mother supported her son's decision only if he finds a job. And he found her. First he worked at the ticket office of the cinema, where they showed porn pictures, and later at the film distribution, which determined his future career.

Tom Cruise

The future actor and idol of millions in the early years was considered ... mentally retarded. Tom was dyslexic. Because of this illness, all the words in his brain were mixed up, and he could neither read nor write. He was bullied all the time by classmates in all fifteen schools he tried to attend. The emotional and mental stress that Tom was in all the time prompted him to leave school and go to serve the Lord. But he soon changed his mind in favor of an acting career.

Jim carrey

Comedian Jim Carrey tried very hard at school, studied his lessons diligently, but became a loser because of a cruel fate. When his parents had financial difficulties, Jim was forced to work 8 hours after school in a factory. The boy was so tired that he had no strength left to study. He stayed in the 10th grade for three years in a row, after which he finally dropped out of school.

Anthony Hopkins

Like Tom Cruise, the Oscar winner suffered from dyslexia. But in those distant times, the existence of such a disease was not even known, so the boy was considered simply mentally retarded. The only thing he could do was play the piano. But this did not save Hopkins, and he was forced to drop out of school.

Did not receive a school education and such stars as Julia Roberts, Uma Thurman, Halle Berry, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Cameron Diaz, Marlon Brando, Jean-Paul Belmondo, Liv Tyler, Winona Ryder, Orlando Bloom, Keanu Reeves, John Travolta, Guy Ritchie, Demi Moore, Marilyn Monroe, Kristen Stewart and many others.

Everyone wants to be like their famous, successful, rich idol. And you can learn from the stars perseverance, determination and endurance. That's just not worth it, imitating them, drop out of school. What do you think?

Bill Gates, Steve Jobs and Mark Zuckerberg have long proven that you can build a successful business without a bachelor's degree. But is it realistic to achieve such heights without even receiving a secondary education?

The stories of these people prove that the absence of a school certificate is not a sentence, but a motivation to direct their time and talent in the right direction:

One of the richest residents of the UK, entrepreneur Richard Branson studied at primary school. After the guy was nevertheless transferred to the middle school, the situation did not improve. Branson was one of the worst students. The reason for this is dyslexia, the inability to master the skills of reading and writing. At the age of 16, Branson left attempts to get an education and went straight into business, where he did well. The state of the founder of the Virgin Group Corporation is currently estimated at $ 5 billion. About his path to success and wealth, Branson wrote two - "Losing Virginity" and "Naked Business". Both, by the way, became world bestsellers.

Gisele Bündchen

In 2018, Giselle entered the top five in Forbes versions. However, for the sake of a brilliant career, the Brazilian had to sacrifice her education. After a representative of the Elite Modeling agency drew attention to her at MacDonald's, the future supermodel left school. At that time, Gisele Bündchen was only 14.

Hollywood's favorite and sex symbol of the decade, Ryan Gosling, dropped out of school in Canada when he was 17. It was a turning point in the actor's life - immediately after that, he got into the popular Disney show "All-New Mickey Mouse Club", from which his career began.

The founder of the Spanish company Inditex has been holding the first position in the ranking of the richest people on the planet for many years. But few know how difficult was Amancio Ortega's path to glory. Due to the poverty of the family, Amancio could not even finish high school. From the age of 13, he began working as a messenger in a shirt shop. Immersed in the clothing industry, a few years later Amancio founded a corporation that now includes brands such as Zara, Mussimo Dutti, Oysho, Bershka, Stradivarius.

Jay– Z

The legendary American rapper changed many schools before he decided to give up studying altogether. The lack of education did not prevent him from becoming a hip-hop star and making a career in producing. According to Forbes, Jay-Z is the fifth richest celebrity in the US.

Li Ka-shing

One of Asia's most influential businessmen was born into the family of a poor school teacher. The death of his father and oppressive poverty forced Lee to drop out of school and take up street trading. At first, the guy sold watch straps, and then got a job at a plastics factory. Having accumulated a meager start-up capital, Li Ka-shing began to gradually build his own business empire. Even after worldwide success, the entrepreneur continues to lead a modest lifestyle, to which he has become accustomed since childhood - he wears only cheap and comfortable shoes, plastic watches, and devotes his free time to reading.

Rihanna

A talented person is talented in everything: Rihanna proved this judgment by her own example. Apart from musical activity, Rihanna tried herself in the movies, launched her clothing brand Fenty, and is now actively involved in charity work. Could Rihanna have achieved all this while pursuing her education at school? Maybe. But the fact remains: the star dropped out of training as soon as she signed a contract with Def Jam.

Daniel Radcliffe

Due to an early acting career, Daniel Radcliffe was never able to finish high school. But he gave many of us the magical world of childhood, playing the main role in the Harry Potter saga.

François Pinault

A well-known French businessman realized in his youth that he would not be taught at school what he was most interested in in life - the ability to build a successful business. At 16, Pinault dropped out of school and went to earn start-up capital for his first company, the Pinault group. Francois Pinault is currently worth $8.7 billion.

Keanu Reeves

The successful film actor and winner of a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame has experienced problems with socialization all his life. This prevented him from finishing school - Reeves simply did not fit into more than one team. Keanu constantly had skirmishes with classmates and teachers, and he decided to leave training so as not to injure anyone's psyche.
