London, Nov 1 (ANI): Johnny Depp is said to take his role model status seriously after a young girl thanked him for making glasses look cool.
The 48-year-old star had constantly moved house and changed schools when he was younger and as a result he was picked on by his peers.
The 'Pirates of the Caribbean' star hopes his fame will inspire other "outsiders" to embrace their individuality.
"I remember many years ago this one kid, a little girl with glasses, maybe 12 or 13, said, 'Thank you for making glasses cool,'" the Daily Express quoted the actor as telling Live magazine.
"You imagine the history of haranguing this poor kid had endured four-eyes, or whatever they called her. It really got to me.
"If someone is being bullied or feels like an outsider and they relate to something that I've done, even if it's just igniting a spark, that's great. I had that feeling as a kid. I was messed with no end.
"And then you fight back - and that's the rage that's just under the surface, and in the end it comes out.
"I find it disheartening these days that everybody is like everybody else. Less and less you see real individuals.
"They all wear their trousers down below their crotch. I don't understand that kind of lemming mentality," Depp added. (ANI)
