Look up to (someone)

   

If you look up to someone, you respect them. They may be your role model, your inspiration, your hero, a mentor.

1. “Doctor House” is one of my favorite TV series. He is very entertaining, but I definitely don’t look up to him as someone to imitate. I look up to Chuck Norris instead.

2. Do you look up to your parents? Would you like to follow in their footsteps and be like them?

3. We are supposed to be able to look up to our world leaders, but often we find out that they are just as imperfect as us. Which leaders do you look up to?

4. My favorite music artist is Bebo Norman. I look up to him because the lyrics to his songs are inspirational. He talks about real life situations.

5. Millions of soccer fans look up to the Brazilian player, Kaká - not only for his ability on the field, but also for his humanitarian efforts with the World Food Programme and his life as a devoted Christian.
