26 Celebs Who Went To School Together Before Becoming Famous
It truly is a small world after all. Some celebrities knew each other long before becoming famous, and there's a simple reason for that: they grew up in the same places and happened to go to same schools together. These musicians, actors, rappers and politicians shared their classrooms, had the same teachers, similar crushes and took their exams next to each other when their names were still unknown by the world. Some allegedly even bought weed from each other. A few remain good friends to this day. As for the others... maybe they'll see each other on red carpets but they aren't going to any school reunions together any time soon.
