So I\u2019m going to be in London, but I am going to be going back for proctored exams. So, they\u2019re letting me figure it out [with] distance learning.\u2019<\/p>\n \t\t \t\t He went on to say that director Edgar Wright had been \u2018very nice about letting him finish his degree in the middle of his massive movie.\u2019<\/p>\n Glen joins a long list of celebrities who have returned to education after becoming famous.<\/p>\n After the release of the final Harry Potter<\/a> film, Emma Watson<\/a> graduated from Brown with a bachelor\u2019s degree in English literature<\/a> in 2014.<\/p>\n Barbie star America Ferrera left USC when she snagged a role in Ugly Betty, but she completed her degree in International Relations 10 years later.<\/p>\n Eva Longoria<\/a> completed a master\u2019s degree in Chicano and Chicana Studies in 2013, all while filming Desperate Housewives.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, even after winning an Oscar, Steven Spielberg<\/a> completed his Arts degree in 2002, which he started almost 40 years prior.<\/p>\n Got a story?<\/strong><\/p>\n If you\u2019ve got a celebrity story, video or pictures get in touch with the Metro.co.uk<\/a> entertainment team by emailing us celebtips@metro.co.uk, calling 020 3615 2145 or by visiting our Submit Stuff<\/a> page \u2013 we\u2019d love to hear from you.<\/p>\n Arrow Arrow Arrow![\"(left](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/SEI_273185224-0983.jpg\")
