19. Ryan Gosling

Looking back at the school history of actor Ryan Gosling, his mother surely had a challenging time when he was kid because of how he behaved in school. He was only 13 years old when his parents separated and his and his sister lived with their mother.

As a child, he wanted to be an actor. He even watched the action film First Blood in which its influence on him led him to suspension after he brought steak knives at a school. He did not know how to read and was evaluated for ADHD. His mother had to leave her job and home-school him. For him, it gave him “a sense of autonomy” that he never really lost.
