AISHA TYLER
Comedian, actress and talk show host, Aisha Tyler, who many will remember as Dr. Tara Lewis, the forensic psychologist with a degree from Dartmouth, in the television series Criminal Minds, and who is currently the host of the show Whose Line is it Anyway?, is reportedly a genius with an IQ of 156. It is definitely no surprise that she’s intelligent considering the speed with which her mind is able to come up with laughable one-liners as an improvisational comedian, but we never would have guessed that her IQ was a mere 4 points below that of Albert Einstein. We know we use Einstein a lot as a point of comparison, but that is because he is the quintessential template for intelligence.
EMMA WATSON
English actress and activist, Emma Watson, who rose to prominence after playing Hermione Granger in the highly successful Harry Potter film series, is one actress who seems to have only ever accepted roles that were of intelligent characters. As Hermione Granger, she was often the smartest kid inside any room. Well, this might have something to do with the fact that Watson actually has an IQ of 138, making her a certified genius. Indeed, if one doesn’t believe Watson is as smart as we’re saying she is, then maybe the fact that she’s earned a Linguistic Degree in Brown University will convince you.
ROWAN ATKINSON
Actor and comedian, Rowan Atkinson, who is a legend in comedy, and who many will know as Mr. Bean, is reportedly another genius comedian with a high IQ. What’s his IQ, you ask? Well, you might be surprised to know that it is 178, which makes him perhaps the smartest celebrity on this list. To his credit, he plays Mr. Bean, the inimitable buffoon, quite masterfully, despite secretly being a genius. To be honest, the Mr. Bean character will be by anyone’s estimate one of the most difficult characters to play, and Atkinson is really a crazy genius in our minds for having successfully pulled it off.
NICOLE KIDMAN
Multi-awarded actress and producer, Nicole Kidman, who was often in the past ranked as one of the highest-paid actresses in Hollywood, is another blonde bombshell with an incredibly high IQ. She’s been reported to have an IQ score of 138, officially putting her at genius level. We’re guessing smartness somehow runs in Kidman’s genes, since her father reportedly has a degree in both psychology and biology. In any case, at least Kidman is currently putting all her brain power into good use as a goodwill ambassador for UNICEF and the United Nations, drawing everyone’s attention to disadvantaged children.
SHARON STONE
Actress, producer and model, Sharon Stone, is another blonde actress who just might turn the stereotype of the ditzy blonde bimbo on its head. Indeed, there are more than a few actresses in this listicle who are both blonde and intelligent, so could it be that we’ve managed to get the stereotype inverted all along? In any case, back to Sharon Stone: yes, she’s intelligent. her IQ is 148, after all, if reports about her intelligence are to be believed. We can’t say she’s played dumb characters, however, since they were always, to some degree, smart and scheming.
MAYIM BIALIK
Of course Mayim Bialik is a super intelligence. She plays one in The Big Bang Theory after all. But are the reports about her IQ being between 150 to 160 true, we wonder? Because that would make her more than just a super intelligence. That would put her on Albert Einstein’s level—you know, the guy who came up with the theory of relativity! In any case, rumor has it—and by that we mean we read it on Wikipedia—that Bialik has a degree in neuroscience, which she earned from UCLA, so maybe the rumors about her incredibly high IQ score is likewise true.
BEN STEIN
Writer, lawyer and actor, Ben Stein, who many will know for having the droniest, most monotonous and uninteresting voice in Hollywood—or, in the world, actually—is actually a genius. Now our comments about the man’s voice aren’t intended as a slight. Indeed, most of his roles in television or in film are that of characters whose voices are meant to bore the hell out of audiences. His voice is actually what he’s known for, for good or for ill. In any case, it’s been reported that his IQ is 150, which is awesome for him, because that means he will at least, on occasion, be smart enough to emphasize other things about himself other than his voice.
DOLPH LUNDGREN
If you’re young, then you’ve probably never heard of this man. But trust us, he was a moderately successful actor in the 80s and early 90s. At least according to our research. He typically played the bad guy, and was in fact the last evil boss, so to speak, in one of the Rocky films. Whatever the case may be, we’re surprised to learn that Lundgren, who’s this obscure semi-famous actor from the childhood of a much older generation, is actually a genius. In fact his IQ is reportedly 160, and he also reportedly has a chemical engineering degree from the Royal Institute of Technology of Sweden. I guess you can say we’re surprised.
