#5: Natalie Portman
I have to say that Natalie Portman is one celebrity who I’m absolutely not surprised about whatsoever. Something about her just screams “genius.” You only need to see a few of her roles to understand we’re talking about something special in the brains department as much as in the acting department.

I mean, don’t you think neuroscience just seems fitting for her? It’s strange to think that if only a few events had panned out differently, we wouldn’t know the name Natalie Portman, but the neuroscientific research world would have gained an outstanding scientist. Maybe there could have been new cures for diseases if only we never got V for Vendetta.
