32 Celebrities Who Are Actually Big Time Nerds Like The Rest Of Us

Not to paint with too broad of a brush, but we're going to assume that you weren't the coolest kid at your high school (Stop reading, Skateboards McCoogler! This list isn't for you!) Maybe you enjoyed movies about guys with laser swords more than football, or the fully digital worlds of video games more than… football again? Wait, were the cool kids into anything other than football?

You may have felt a little alone back then while pretending to be a wizard and having magical battles with the help of cardboard trading cards… But now, with the power of the internet, you can learn that you were actually in pretty good company. So many celebrities are ALSO into the weird and nerdy stuff you were, including the cardboard card battles with a goofy amount of rules. Does this mean Skateboards McCoogler was wrong for making fun of you this whole time? Maybe! At least for liking the nerdy stuff, but we don't know what other weird stuff you were into, so who can say?
