黄磊的爸爸是话剧演员，妈妈也是演员，他从小看父母演戏，虽然兴趣蛮大，但并不想学表演。高二文理分科时，喜欢化学的他想学理科，但父亲觉得他适合当演员。在学校向家长征求意见时，父亲建议他学文科，那时考艺术院校必须是文科毕业生。他不大乐意，父亲劝他，理科考不上就一条路，文科考表演，文化课分数较低，好考些。如果考分高，不愿意读表演，也可以报别的。那时大学非常难考，父亲对他说，你考不上就意味着可能成为待业青年。一说要成待业青年是很可怕的，他也就没再说什么。高三，他没怎么准备专业课，他对父亲说：“你们演戏不就是那一套嘛，我看得太多了。”直到考前，他让父亲帮他选朗诵材料，但让父亲不要像教人家似的那样具体细致地教他，否则他就无法发挥了。1990年，北影表演系招生，黄磊顺利被录取。
