Not only do celebrities do not always receive a specialized education, but some of the brightest stars have not even graduated from high school! Many celebrities left school in early youth. Some of them seem to regret this decision, but others are quite happy with it, and they claim that they did the right thing. Below is a far from complete list of stars - under-educated who have made millions of dollars and won millions of fans.
Kate Winslet
Kate was only 17 years old when she appeared on the screen in her first film “Heavenly Creatures” as much as 25 years ago! And then she quit her studies and began her acting career: "I left school and got a job in a store to raise money for a trip to London, where I wanted to go to auditions."
Jennifer Lawrence
At one of the TV shows, Jennifer Lawrence admitted that she never graduated from school! It turns out that the actress dropped out of school at age 14: "I was uncomfortable there, and I never felt very smart. But I get used to my roles perfectly. I have no certificate or diploma. I’m self-taught."
Hilary Swank
Fans of the actress remember how she beautifully played a school teacher in the movie "Writers of Freedom" (2007). Hilary herself dropped out of school as a teenager: “I’m not proud of what I did, but it happened. I think the school is very important. And I probably just didn’t meet the teacher who could motivate me learn further. "
Katy Perry
She was 15 years old when she dropped out of school to pursue a career as a singer. Moreover, she did not have any good memories of that time: “I was expelled from school in the middle of the year, and sometimes I was even at home schooling. And I also had to study in these incomprehensible semi-Christian, semi-educational institutions.”
John Travolta
Travolta’s first success was the hit movie Saturday Night Fever (1977). He dreamed of becoming an actor in high school, but there were few who understood his interest. Travolta dropped out of high school in New Jersey and moved to New York to finally devote himself to cinema.
Seth Rogen
Once this Canadian comedian and director admitted: “I started writing scripts as a child, wrote them in high school, and then left school altogether, because it was already uninteresting to me. It seems to me if you are set for a certain career that they don’t teach you at school, what’s the point of staying there. ”
Keanu Reeves
This talented actor and smoothie also did not graduate from school! In an interview with Keanu, he said: “It was difficult. For five years I changed four schools. Everything was fine with me, I was fond of chess.” It turns out that the actor was expelled at the age of 16. He did not get along with the director and was considered a rather aggressive student!
Mark Wahlberg
Mark left high school, but then promised himself to complete his education, which he achieved in his 40th birthday in 2013: “For almost a year I attended classes and was torn between filming, home and school. It was both humiliating and difficult, but I’m happy to report that I officially graduated from high school. "
Ryan Gosling

Rihanna
At 16, she left school and left Barbados: “When I left Barbados, I did not look back. I did what I wanted to do and moved to America.” She was a very young teenage girl, but her talent immediately attracted the attention of the famous producer Evan Rogers.
Johnny Depp
He also does not have a high school diploma. He threw it at age 15 for the career of a rock star: "It was complete madness, and I even wanted to return. I did come back and talked with the school principal, and he told me that I should do what I dream about."
Drew Barrymore
Drew left the family at age 14, and then she decided to drop out of school. The actress recalls that experience as follows: "When I became independent and left school, I took up self-education and created my own program for myself.

Jim carrey
When his father was unemployed, Jim left school to help his family: “At that time we were very poor. We all had to work as security guards and cleaners. My mother was often sick and I wanted her to recover, because I was completely not to study. "
