Ashton Kutcher is a biochemical engineer, and Lisa Kudrow studied biology: what Hollywood stars dreamed of becoming before they became famous

Acting is an impressive profession that has given the world many famous talents. However, everything was completely different and in Hollywood, you would never have heard of such names as Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, Natalie Portman and others.

These stars aspired to reach completely different heights - to become a psychologist, engineer, and even a priest, but fate made its own adjustments. Read on to find out who Hollywood celebrities dreamed of becoming before they became famous for their acting.

Natalie Portman – a psychologist

"I felt like there had been some kind of mistake," Portman recalled, "that I wasn't smart enough to be in this company, and that every time I opened my mouth I had to prove that I wasn't just a dumb actress. The conflict that the star had inside her was resolved when she received her Harvard degree. Natalie enrolled in the school right after the release of Star Wars, and returned with a degree in psychology to prove her level of knowledge.

Ashton Kutcher – a biochemical engineer

Ashton Kutcher may be one of the funniest people in entertainment, but that doesn't mean he lacks knowledge. The multi-talented star attended the University of Iowa, graduating in 1996. He earned a degree in biochemical engineering, which is one of the most difficult majors to study. He hopes to find a cure for his brother's heart disease.

Bradley Cooper – a teacher of English and literature

Bradley Cooper studied at Georgetown University and was very fond of literature, which he read in all his classes. The actor wrote his dissertation on Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov by Vladimir Nabokov. He said that he was so fascinated by the works that he even cried while reading Romeo and Juliet in the university library.

Lisa Kudrow – a biologist

Lisa Kudrow's father was a famous doctor who researched headaches. Before becoming an actress, the star planned to follow in her father's footsteps. She received a bachelor's degree in biology from Vassar College and even worked in Dr. Kudrow's research team.

Brad Pitt – a journalist

After graduating from high school, the future sex symbol entered the University of Missouri to study journalism, where he studied advertising. However, his thirst for acting won out - a few months before graduation, Brad Pitt left the university and moved to Los Angeles.

Tom Cruise – a priest

Tom Cruise, born into a Catholic family, studied at the seminary and seriously considered becoming a priest. The celebrity could not boast of excellent grades in his diploma, but he excelled in sports and took an active part in the theater group. Subsequently, the star was expelled from the seminary because of his bad behavior - Cruz liked to drink with his friends, stealing bottles of alcohol.
