James Franco | 130

Another smart actor on the list, not to mention handsome, is James Franco. Though he has been known for a number of dumb-funny movies with Seth Rogen, it cannot be denied that the 43-year-old star is one of the geniuses of Hollywood. He reportedly has an IQ of 130, which is considered very superior and upper extreme.

On top of that, he has also attended and graduated from UCLA, Columbia University, NYU, Brooklyn College, and Warren Wilson College. Mind you, he is a Ph.D. student at Yale University. If these cannot convince you of how intelligent Franco is, he took 62 credits in one semester at UCLA when the normal was 19. He had a GPA of 3.5/4.0, and UCLA made him part of its most famous alumnus, calling him a “prolific academia” and giving him the tagline “Some A-Listers Actually Get A’s.”
