Greenville native who went on to become Chinese movie star speaks to students at his former elementary school
A Greenville native who went on to become one of the biggest movie stars in China will return to his former elementary school Thursday to give a motivational speech to students.
Greenville County Schools said Matt Knowles, a former Clemson football player who graduated from the university in 2008, will speak to students at Sarah Collins elementary.
Clemson reported that Knowles graduated with a degree in civil engineering and then moved to China where he expected to spend a year teaching English at a high school.
While there, he learned to speak Mandarin and said singing a karaoke song in that language initially put him in the spotlight.
