16 Celebrities Who Are #JesuitEducated

For nearly 500 years, millions of people across the world have experienced the transformative power of a Jesuit education – including our favorite celebs. So listen up TMZ, we're about to dish out some juicy gossip about the powers of a world class education.

1. Denzel Washington

Trained by Jesuits at Fordham University, Denzel earned a B.A. in Drama and Journalism from Fordham University in 1977.

2. Bill Murray

Our favorite comedian is a graduate of Loyola Academy, a well regarded college preparatory high school in Wilmette, Illinois. After graduating, Bill attended Regis University in Denver, Colorado, taking pre-medical courses. Moved by other passions, Bill dropped out, returning to Illinois. Decades later, in 2007, Regis awarded him an honorary Doctor of Humanities degree.

3. Amy Poehler

Just kidding about Bill Murray being our favorite. No one beats Amy Poehler. Amy graduated from Boston College with a bachelor's degree in media and communications in 1993.

4. Bob Newhart

The stand-up comedian and actor graduated from St. Ignatius College Prep in Chicago and Loyola University Chicago.

5. George Takei

Our favorite Trekkie and social media giant attended Sophia University, a highly selective Jesuit research university in Japan.

6. Bill Clinton

Who knew – the Jesuits are presidential material too. The former president (and maybe future First Husband) graduated from Georgetown University in 1968, receiving a Bachelor of Science in Foreign Service.

10. Dylan McDermott

15. Donald (The Dropout) Trump

Say it isn’t so. The celebrity real estate developer, TV personality and now presidential candidate (lol what) attended Fordham University for two years, before transferring to the University of Pennsylvania. Clearly, Mr. Trump missed a few crucial Jesuit lessons when he decided to transfer.

16. Pope Francis

Don't worry, Your Holiness. You're totally our favorite celeb. Why? Because you inspire billions of people to create a better world.
