Celebs Who Dropped Out of High School to Make It In Hollywood

Keanu Reeves

Keanu Reeves revealed he was expelled from high school when he was 16 years old.

“It was a very small school and I guess I didn’t fit in. I had conflicts and run-ins with the staff. The principal and I didn’t see eye-to-eye. I was one of those ‘Why?’ kids — I asked too many questions about everything. I couldn’t stop even if it got me into trouble.” Reeves was not pleased with his expulsion either. “It’s a terrible letter to receive, saying you can’t come back to school next year. Getting asked to leave was very upsetting,” Keanu told the Daily Mail back in 2008.
