" You might know Devon Bostick as the bully from Degrassi (remember when he dated Nina Dobrev&amp;#039;s character?), or as the bully from Diary of a Wimpy Kid. Or soon, (as in, this Friday, March 25), as the same bully from Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules. But in real life, Devon&amp;#039;s a sweetheart who&amp;#039;s actually dealt with some major bullies in his own life, and despite the fact that all of you think he&amp;#039;s super-hot, he&amp;#039;s the furthest possible thing from a big ego. Here&amp;#039;s what he had to say about guyliner, Degrassi, and his secret rockstar fantasies. CG: Did you know that the first thing that comes up if you Google &amp;quot;Devon Bostick&amp;quot; is &amp;quot;Devon Bostick is hot&amp;quot; and the next is about guyliner? DB: Yeah, I&amp;#039;m not used that that at all. I was never the &amp;quot;hot guy,&amp;quot; so that doesn&amp;#039;t make much sense to me. But seriously, I&amp;#039;m the goofy guy\u2014I&amp;#039;m not that guy at all. And when girls started saying that guyliner was hot, I couldn&amp;#039;t stop laughing, because it was the most ridiculous thing to have that on in the first movie. And now it&amp;#039;s such a thing for Rodrick, and we threw it into a few scenes, just because we knew girls would love it. It&amp;#039;s there for them\u2014definitely not for me, because taking off eyeliner is the most painful thing. It&amp;#039;s pretty brutal! CG: Let&amp;#039;s talk about your Degrassi days. Are you still in touch with Drake and Nina Dobrev, and all? DB: These days, I can&amp;#039;t handle all that drama on one show, but it was a lot of fun being on there. I loved the show. And I talked to Nina on the phone the other day. Plus I see Lauren Collins in LA a lot. The Canadian circle in LA is really close. There&amp;#039;s a magnet effect where we all just huddle together somehow. It&amp;#039;s one big Canadian family, really. CG: What was the coolest scene to film, in your new movie, Rodrick Rules? DB: The talent show. I got to play the drums in front of an entire audience, which was really cool. It was like I was a rockstar, even though I wasn&amp;#039;t at all. I trained for the drums for about two weeks, and then rocking out in front of an entire crowd was sort of like a dream come true. And now, Guitar Hero, I can&amp;#039;t do that anymore. It&amp;#039;s nothing like doing it on stage. I kinda wish I had a fake band, and we could go on tour. CG: So the Wimpy Kid movies, and also your role in Degrassi, were all about bullying. Have you ever felt bullied? DB: Oh yeah. I was bullied from grade one to six. Even middle school was tough for me. Everyone had these pre-existing friendships, and I was the new kid, who was acting, so that didn&amp;#039;t help much either. It was really tough. But you&amp;#039;ve just got to ignore them, and know that down the line that kid will have nothing to do with your life, and who you are. It seems like the entire world revolves around being bullied at that time, but there&amp;#039;s so much more out there, so you have to stick it out. What do you think of Devon&amp;#039;s bullying advice? Have you ever been bullied? Sound off in the comments! "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
