A lot of celebrities lived normal lives before becoming famous, which means a lot of them attended college.
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson was a college football player before becoming one of Hollywood's most successful actors. Conan O'Brien was president of his university's satirical newspaper.
Others attended college even after they were already well-known, like Jodie Foster and Jake Gyllenhaal.
And a good number finished their degrees later in life, like Shaquille O'Neal and Steven Spielberg.
Looking at their old photos shows how astoundingly normal they can be. Here are what 14 celebrities looked like in college.
Before Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson was an actor, he was a wrestler. Before that, he was a college football player.
The Rock played the defensive end for the University of Miami Hurricanes. He graduated in 1995.
