Having a degree may not be a prerequisite to becoming a celebrity and yet, many household names today started out as humble students. 

It’s clear that academic achievements are important to some A-listers – especially those who obtained their degrees after becoming famous – all while balancing a busy work schedule with classes, midterms and finals.
