Kate Beckinsale is a global Hollywood actress, but the star has spoken about how her education and IQ has worked against her acting career.
Kate Beckinsale Claims Her 152 IQ Worked Against Her Acting Career
Kate, for her part, is more than just an actress. She graduated from Oxford University in Russian and French literature. Clearly, she has the brains to go with her acting talent. So much so that her official IQ has been recognised as 152.
And yet, for all the plaudits that she may get, the perception is that she would be happier if she could blend in with the rest of her peers.
During an interview on the Howard Stern show, Kate said: “Every single doctor, every single person I’ve ever come across has said, ‘You’d be so much happier if you were 30 percent less smart.
“It’s no good to me, though. It’s really not helpful to me in my career. I just think it might have been a handicap, actually.”
Despite Kate’s academic talents, she is prone to making mistakes just like the rest of us. And by the looks of it, she has some pretty embarrassing moments in her life.
Just last month, the actress went to the hospital because she had suffered an injury at home. Naturally, given that she is an actress, fans could be forgiven for thinking that she had suffered it while practising some of the stunts that she has been seen doing in films.
However, it was much banaler than that. During an interview on the ‘Late Late Show with James Corden’, Kate revealed that she got the injury after putting some leggings on.
She stated: “I hurt myself putting on a pair of leggings in my hotel room…It felt like a sort of guitar string snapped, and everything was horrible.
“I couldn’t walk, I couldn’t lie down, I couldn’t sit down. I couldn’t do anything.” Kate will always be a popular actress for the wit that she manages to exhibit.
Although she may view this as a downside, it was partly the reason why she has been so successful. After all, it has allowed her to develop popularity with the fans that would not have been there otherwise.
