Al Gore and Tommy Lee Jones were roommates at Harvard!
Tommy Lee Jones is a popular American actor and film director having received four Academy Award nominations while Al Gore is an American politician, advocate, and philanthropist most popular for telling us all the “inconvenient truth.” Their paths of these wildly successful men crossed, not surprisingly, at Harvard.
From their freshmen to senior year, they were roommates and embarked in all sorts of college misadventures. In one instance, when they were both 21, they competed in a knife throwing contest with one another. In the process of doing so, they nearly killed an ancient elm tree. It’s safe to say that 65 year old Al Gore would not approve.
