From 1993 to 2001, Albert Arnold Gore Jr., an American politician, businessman, and environmentalist, served as President Bill Clinton’s 45th vice president.

Tommy Lee Jones, on the other hand, is an American actor and director. He was nominated for four Academy Awards and won Best Supporting Actor in 1993’s suspenseful drama The Fugitive for his portrayal of U.S. Marshal Samuel Gerard.

Were Al Gore and Tommy Lee Jones roommates?

One went on to become an A-list movie star who on-screen hunted down aliens for the government, while the other served as vice president of the United States and was second in charge of the government off-screen.

They were formerly roommates in college, engaging in activities common to young men. The two most prosperous alumni of Harvard University are Tommy Lee Jones and former Vice President Al Gore.

Jones was there for Gore years later when the then-vice president most needed him. Both men came from different backgrounds and entered Harvard under distinct circumstances.

Unlike Jones, who attended Harvard on a sports scholarship, Gore hailed from a political family with a Washington, D.C. lineage.

They became friends when they were introduced by Harvard during their first year at the Ivy League school. This friendship endured the two very different courses each guy followed in life.
