Dawson's Creek's Star Pupil

Dawson's Creek star Joshua Jackson was not in reality the good pupil he portrays in the hit show.

Josh, who plays heart-throb Pacy, was thrown out of two schools for his mis-behaviour.

He says, "I was a complete pain in the butt. I had a real problem with being told what to do by teachers and I ended up getting kicked out of two schools for being mouthy.

"The first time was in Vancouver, when I was 14. They told me I just wasn't part of the school spirit."

The second time he was thrown out he says, "Was because I played truant a lot and I was still very mouthy. One of my teachers called me `stupid' and we got into this massive argument.

"The principle told me I could either apologise to the class for my behaviour and stay, or I'd have to leave. I just wouldn't back down, which maybe wasn't the best attitude to take."
