‘Avatar’ Star Sam Worthington Reveals Alcoholism

IN REMISSION –

Dec. 15, 2022 – “Nine out of 10 people couldn’t tell,” Worthington, who is now eight years sober, recalled. “They could probably smell it on me, but when they looked at me, they couldn’t tell. I was still doing my job — I just don’t think I was doing it very well.”

The Australian actor’s alcoholism coincided with his rise to fame. Worthington was relatively unknown until the first Avatar film was released in 2009. Then, he somewhat reluctantly stepped into the leading man role with a string of blockbusters like Terminator Salvation and Clash of the Titans. In 2014, he was arrested for punching a photographer. Worthington said he was never comfortable with the attention that came with his job.

“I’d go haywire over someone asking me for a photograph or taking a photograph of me,” Worthington explained. “If someone approached me, my anxiety would go through the roof.”
