rolemodels

"I reject being a role model for a young person, I think it’s ridiculous, I don’t know how you can ask anybody to be a role model for somebody. I don’t know how you [Orlando] feel about this, but the idea that you put somebody up there and say that’s an ideal, that’s how you should behave, I’m the first admit that I make mistakes all the time so I think that’s ridiculous.
Playing characters I think can be role models, Elizabeth Bennett, Elizabeth Swann – I’m having a good time with the Elizabeths now – yeah definitely. But equally I don’t think that you should only play characters that are good role models, I think that’s ridiculous as well. But it’s lovely when you do play a character that people really look up to, that’s great."
