8 Celebrities You Didn't Know Were Geeks

A few weeks back I read some pretty remarkable claims about Dolph Lundgren in another site's comment section: apparently, despite his playing a big, dumb jarhead in some pretty crappy movies (with the exception of Rocky IV, naturally) the guy is some kind of kickass genius in real life. I found this interesting and rather surprising so I decided to write about it; I was in the midst of researching his accomplishments when I came across this list and just guess who was number one. That's right, Drago himself:

The man reportedly has an IQ of 160. He graduated from the Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden, got his master's in chemical engineering, then was awarded a Fulbright Scholarship to MIT. After just two weeks of that, his superhuman intellect allowed him to calculate that a life spent inventing life-saving chemicals would mathematically contain less awesome than one movie spent playing He-Man.

Hey, did we mention that he speaks five languages (French, Swedish, German, English and Italian)? Or, that he's a Pentathlon Team Leader and a former Ranger? And a third-degree black belt?
Is that impressive as hell or what? This is the kind of guy who goes to all of his high school reunions. And I didn't think it was possible for Asia Carrera to get any sexier but apparently I was way wrong; smart porn stars are hot, dude.

We can only hope wikipedia is wrong.

I'm kind of hoping they're right. This is exactly the kind of guy Hitler was looking for; with his abilities and superior intellect, he could go Khan Noonien Singh on all our asses.

This guy would have been Hitler's wet dream.
