Sure... just because a person looks, talks or stupidly doesn't mean that they are. Sometimes they do it intentionally to draw the spotlight off of how smart the really are.
You'd be surprised to know how many smart people pretend not to know things just so they can be "normal."

I believe that any individual, intelligent or not, can turn out to be smart in the end.
There are so many different angles from which we see the world, and sometimes, it's those who have a different perspective who are acknowledged in the end.
I think a very commonly thought of example of this would be artists. There are so many artistic geniouses in the world: writers, poets, sculptors, photographers, etc. It's not a prerequisite that they be smart, yet they move the population in ways that a smart individual can't.
More still, in some cases - though not all - smart people have difficulty connecting with the world around them.
So I would say, Yes. A really stupid person can turn out smart.

Well, smart people know that they are stupid, and stupid people think they are smart. So someone who thinks he is stupid can turn out to be smart, an actually stupid person can fake being smart and a smart person can look or act stupid. There are so many ways in which a really stupid person can turn out to be smart, that wondering if there is such a possibility is stupid. Quite a smart question then.

Yes indeed.If he has a little bit of brain that will do.It is simple.We corner people by grading them on our limited knowledge.Not only a stupid but also any one else can come up from there standard if they use their little knowledge by following others.If a stupid follows the behavior of a smart, he will be able to adapt him very soon.Impossible is nothing!!!!!!

stupid , smart are all adjectives we give to persons and these are depending on the situations. A good singer can be a bad cook and a good player can be a bad student. So it all depends where we fit in.

Sure...
A person may seem sorta stupid only because they are uncomfortable in a particular situation....
Or...
Learning disabilities can be overcome having nothing to do with a persons IQ level...
