8 Celebrities You Didn't Know Were Geeks

As any nerd can tell you, being smarter than everyone else has a price. Poor social skills, being grossly over or under weight, being terrible at sports. Skin problems, probably bad eyesight ... you get the idea. Yet, there is a whole class of nerds who break that universal rule, who somehow wind up smarter than us... yet also, are so good at kicking ass or being hot that they've got legions of adoring fans. Browse on over to cracked.com for the full article, it's definitely worth the read. For the curious, here's the rundown (some of these I knew were geeks, others I had no idea - Dolph??? Are you serious???):
#8. Natalie Portman
#7. The Offspring lead singer Dexter Holland
#5 & 6. Underworld's Kate Beckinsale and Kevin Grevioux
#4. Vin Diesel
#3. Porn star Asia Carrera
#2. Queen guitarist Brian May
#1. Dolph Lundgren

Most memorable line, after describing the academic heights that Brian May achieved:
Then, he was appointed Chancellor of Liverpool John Moores University, meaning we now have a man who can look upon both Albert Einstein and Eddie Van Halen and ask why they didn't get more done.

I roflmao'd.
